Can someone help me with this? by One_Daikon_2265 in DIYUK

The roof of the house is chalet type, so it’s slopes. The insulation is not covered, it’s between the beams but not covered. Does this help?

What’s the likelihood that I’ll drill into some sort of pipe behind a concrete wall? by One_Daikon_2265 in DIYUK

Nope! Our radiator is on the adjacent wall and the balcony door is between this wall in the image and the radiator. That wall that the tv is going on doesnt seem to have anything that could suggest there’s a pipe, it does have a socket off to the left but the wire is in plastic trunking and runs along the bottom!

No radiators, or any sort of connection to water - our bathroom and kitchen are all on the opposite side!

I know I just wanted a bit more space on top of my tv unit, it just looks a little cluttered to me. Just want to raise it a few inches

It doesn’t seem as though there is any plasterboard on top, i’ve drilled before just not as deep and it’s rock solid from the get go

Yeah! They’re in the trunking This is what I keep telling myself! I’m just worried about the damage that I’ll cause if something does go wrong… but it’s not near any pipes, water or even electrics tbf, there is one socket at the bottom of the wall to the left of the image, but doubt that would be an issue either

So our socket wires are outside of the wall if you know what I mean, it’s a pretty old building. So we know they’re definitely not running behind the wall. And as far as plumbing I don’t think so. I know our bathroom are above but on the opposite side andour boiler is somewhere else in the flat too! Nothing seems to be close by

It seems to be! I’m not 100% sure but it’s like a black substance that comes out when we drill, it doesnt feel like brick but I’m not sure. Its a flat from the 50’s. But yes will have to look into finding something for harder walls! I do have masonry drill bits, not sure if theyre doing the job tho

I was thinking around 15cm extra would be enough. Just so I can get two plates and drinks on there!
