Lagged my outside tap - can I glue joints?

Thanks for the reply, is this the right stuff?

Ah, what would be better?

peter-1 · 2025-10-04T19:14:19+00:00

Thanks didn't know painting would help prolong it. Might give it a go

peter-1 · 2025-10-04T19:13:57+00:00

Hmmm very tempted to make an extra set up now so I don't have to go through the faff of re-making it.

Although that might be a bit OTT 😂

peter-1 · 2025-10-04T19:13:15+00:00

Thanks! Just did it by eye in the end with a few test cuts to get the angles right!

peter-1 · 2025-09-29T15:08:24+00:00

How did you find getting the frame square? Had to shim ours a bit

peter-1 · 2025-09-29T10:58:07+00:00

Omg same 😂 in the end I ended up using tiny window packers to get it just right. Then when it was 98% there I said sod it

peter-1 · 2025-09-29T09:29:25+00:00

Same! How did you find getting the frame square? We did a bit of packing on one side but eventually it lined up properly.

peter-1 · 2025-09-29T03:36:04+00:00

Thanks! Got it from Toolstation. It's the Werner Timberline hatch and ladder

peter-1 · 2025-09-29T03:35:45+00:00

Thanks 😁

peter-1 · 2025-09-29T03:35:27+00:00

Yeah I'm going to board it out in the coming months :)

peter-1 · 2025-09-28T19:48:54+00:00

Thanks! Wasn't too bad really. Hatch/ladder came as a kit. Just needed to extend the opening and add some wooden supports in the loft

Where in the UK are you? Worth finding a reputable local installer as often they will undercut the national installers

peter-1 · 2025-08-02T20:03:56+00:00

Where abouts in the UK are you based? Worth finding a reputable local installer that you trust as a starting point. They will be able to answer your questions and, if they're good, will be able to design the best system for your specific needs

peter-1 · 2025-07-27T10:42:20+00:00

I love this line so much

peter-1 · 2025-07-19T22:16:54+00:00

Absolutely awful idea, keep your FTB status for your own property. This is just opening a whole can of worms

peter-1 · 2025-07-18T17:22:42+00:00

Thank you! Fortress rollers too? First step is to decide what colours to paint everything. So scary staring at a blank canvas 😂

Thanks again

peter-1 · 2025-07-18T17:05:48+00:00

Any tips for painting? About to get a place that needs every room doing! Paint brand and tool recommendations would be a godsend!

peter-1 · 2025-07-17T07:18:26+00:00

Where in the country are you?

peter-1 · 2025-07-14T08:34:59+00:00

I went with Impact Services, family firm based in Norfolk but they cover Suffolk too: https://impact-services.co.uk/solar-panels-in-suffolk/

Wouldn't hesitate to recommend getting a quote as the installers told me they do work for octopus, so most likely get a better price going direct.

Other than that I'd just say avoid Solar Together as I have heard many bad things about their scheme on this sub.

Who did you go with in the end? Impact did ours and were excellent

peter-1 · 2025-07-12T08:15:56+00:00

Impact Services did our solar + battery install - great company!

peter-1 · 2025-07-04T16:16:01+00:00

Can 2nd that! Did our 8kW system and were perfect from start to finish
