Thanks for the suggestion of the FP975. It does look a better match but it's not available in many suppliers which is unfortunate. Is it being phased out I wonder? Might try phoning Danfoss on Monday. Do other makes have the same backplates? Which ones?

Hopefully a quick question... We are visiting my elderly aunt who has just had her central heating replaced. They have fitted a danfoss set3m which she finds awkward and would like an electronic one. I'm looking to order the FP715si which she will get someone to fit for her (we'll be gone by...

I spoke to our man today, tbh it seems fine. He gave the number for crosby and details of the distribution firm operating in England. I then spoke to CRosby myself and they were very helpful with kitchen design and also confirmed the distributor and the local seller I have here. I think we'll...

Thanks. As far as I know they are still going - although the telephone number I have is not available - but that has been explained from my local supplier as relating to the fact the business was sold at the end of 2009. Not sure how to decide whether to trust this reseller. Was hoping to...

Recourse if it doesn't turn up - I guess we'll have paid by Visa so could claim it back. Planning to order it well in advance so if anything is missing we can get replacements. The seller said any problems and additional bits can be shipped direct from Crosby at no delivery charge. What else...

It's supply only - we can't wait to see the goods before paying. It will be delivered to our home for the joiner to fit. We would paying a couple of days before delivery I think. But I think that's pretty standard - if I was ordering it from B&Q I would be paying up front too.

We're looking to fit a new kitchen and have got our joiner etc all lined up for about 6 weeks time. We've been choosing kitchens and selected a Crosby Kitchen (Canova) which is cream gloss. A local firm are charging us £4000 for the units. However, a quick search on the internet found a small...

Thank you very much for that. I'll sit down with him this weekend and see if we can agree something more sensible.

are you supplying the kitchen or is it included in that £6700? -> We're supplying the kitchen are the doors to be supplied by the builder going to be upvc or timber? -> uPVC French doors, 1/2 hour fire door to garage (allowance of £200) have they quoted to supply you with a separate...

We've just received a quote for a range of renovation work to our house. Part of it is for joinery work to fit a new kitchen in the current spare bedroom (approx 4x3.6m). The scope for this part of the job is as follows: -> Fit a flat pack Crosby kitchen (about 17 floor and wall units) ->...

My Mum has seen some coloured glass tiles she likes (10x10cm) and would like them to form her hob splash back area. I have only fitted ceramic tiles before. Can you advise on how they are cut and how they should be installed. Thanks.

Thanks for that. I think that Aqualisa is out of our price bracket unfortunately. But thanks for the information. The other thing I'm wondering....is there any reason to not go for a combined shower and bath tap set-up? It's like there are 3 options: 1. Separate mixer shower and bath taps...

We're in the process of choosing a mixer shower to go over a new bath. We were interested in the following Bristan valve: ARTISAN THERMOSTATIC RECESSED SHOWER VALVE WITH INTEGRAL DIVERTER The plan was to have one outlet for a shower kit and the other for the bath filler (via the waste) thus...

We have a 50s bungalow with a loft conversion done in the 60s. The BT line enters the upstairs through a window frame and hits a junction box. The cable then hangs down the wall, across the floor to another junction box. It then goes behind the wall to the master socket on the gound floor...
