I think it worked yay. Thanks guys for your advices :)

Hi guys need help asap!!!!!!! Bought dulux primer/sealer for problem Walls and started painting and was quite surprised coz it said off White color and it was clear, even though I shook it. Did half the kitchen and dipped my roller into it really deep and it revealed some milky residue on the...

There is no damp. No that I know off. And the weather was good. Perhaps the reason for flaking was down to me leaving all windows wide open to create a draft to aid the drying process? Maybe I should have closed all windows and put the heating on instead?

My dearest trusted fellows I am after your advice yet again! I am painting the kitchen. Decided to scrape all the paint coz it was cracking and lifting in places, got myself a cushty scraper that just lifted strips of paint in one go but all the fun soon stopped when I realised some bits of...

Hey Richard, after loooooong consideration I have decided to go for the black porcelain ones. Too much hassle laying slate (they weren't riven, but honed), plus when I went to the shop again (diff branch of topps tiles) I notched there is a degree of variation in colour which I didn't like. My...

Thanks Richard, what a gem you are, giving so much info. The slate tiles only go on the floor, the wall tiles are plain ceramic. Not worried about Walls. Will have to get in touch with a Tiler now, will be a real shame if he starts getting upset about laying slate, as they do look utterly...

Thanks Richard. Floor is concrete and Walls are brick. Not sure how heavy the tiles are, and also I thought all slate tiles are porous and require sealing? I asked coz read on Internet that sealing is advantage but not always deemed nessessary. I already bought an undercoat sealer and also a top...

I need an advice on laying slate tiles please? I have ordered honed slate tiles coz I loved the look and feel of them. Now having read some bits on Internet I have found out I need to seal them, which isn't a problem at all, however we are a little shy on time. The Tiler is intending to do...

thanks for your replies guys, i dont think room thermostat works, but now getting a new boiler and the replacement of thermostat and controls wasnt on the quote, i suppose i could get the gasmen to put a new one in. whats the difference between room thermostat and these controls that are in...

Hiya all, bit of a girlie question. what are the controllers called for switching the heating on and off, the ones in the airing cupboard? I have a roomstat that i dont use, but instead i switch the heating on but pushing the buttons on a controller near the hot water cylinder. sorry...

Thank you for your reply, i have not looked at the model, and I am at work now, but will definitely inform in the evening. But gasman has been and gone and he said the boiler is leaking and advised to replace the whole thing as parts would be expensive. all details when I get home, coz i...

Hi guys, a bit of advice or comments needed please? In the last couple of days my boiler is playing up, fires up one day and doesnt the next. last year we changed quite a few bits on it, PCB, gas valve, pump, you name it.. it was working great for about 8 months and now plays up like it has a...
