    I had a wet room installed just under four years back in a complete new build house. The wet room has now developed a minor leak. The fitter had used Wedi boards and some sort of glue on the top of them (sorry don't know my stuff that well) He has been out to have a look and says that with the...

    Rectified porcelain install needs fix

    We had 1,000 sq feet of 18x18 rectified porcelain installed. There are several spots where the installer screwed up and the edges are slightly lifted, just enough to be visible and sharp to bare feet. It's a real shame. He is looking into polishing the floor, but I am hesitant. The design looks...

    Updated a few things server-wise to fix some issues

    Hi people, You'd probably be aware of weird glitches in the forum when it comes to loading pages and replying to posts. The forum would lose connection to the server. This *should* be fixed now. I'm still testing, but it does appear to be okay now. We've upgraded the PHP version on the...
