Hi, I'm currently putting together my new kitchen ready for installation new week but I'm slightly worried about something! I've 2 x 60cm wall units which once up will mean that I've only got 3cm until the start of the gas hob. My question is: is the hob too close to the end of the wall...

I am having a new kitchen fitted soon and am removing the old work units myself. We are having a new sink and taps installed with the kitchen but before any of this can be done I need to remove the unit and sink. To do this I need to take the taps off and isolate the pipes. I don't know how to...

i am having difficulty actually finding the lock block i am worried it may be on the other side and don't really want to re-hang the door

I have recently had some doors fitted and one door which is fixed to my airing cupboard is causing me some problems. The handle has been screwed into the door but does not seem to have gone in to the locking plate. therefore the handle has just come off as there is nothing solid to screw it...

Cheers for the reply Paul. Ban-all-sheds - what was that reply all about - I thought this was a forum to ask advice on - not give out sarcasm.

Thanks lads. Sounds like the second reply hit the nail on the head - how do I resolve it though? Will I need an electrician?

Evening all - I hope one of you can help me with a problem which happened a few hours ago.... I was upstairs and went to switch the landing light on but nothing happened. All of the other upstairs lights were ok so I presumed it was the bulb and went to fetch a new one. I changed the bulb...

I'm currently decorating our bathroom and while I was removing the existing tiles, I accidently dropped one of them into the bath - creating a small graze to the surface! The wife isn't happy - are there any products would help repair this? Cheers!

I've just completely changed the layout of our bathroom by installing a new suite and knocking a wall down to create more space. My problem now is that I've never laid floor tiles before and have no idea what materials I need to do the job. Can anyone give me a quick guide on what I need...

True! The guy doesn't seem that like he would pull a fast one so I'll just ask him about it. I've fitted quite a few dimmers myself in the past successfully - I just wasn't confident doing this one...

Thanks for all your help - I'll be ringing the guy in the morning asking for a few answers.... Can I ask - what should I say to him to sound like I know what I'm talking about? The job was done while I was at work and I never got to see him before I cam home....

Where is the transfromer? In the fuse box? Sorry to sound thick!!! :)

Thanks again! Sorry to be a complete novice but how do I check what transformer I have? I had the dimmer fitted today by a local electrician - he said that the buzzing from the dimmer was normal......

Thanks for the reply! What should I do next then? I'm no expert in electrics so your help would be v. helpful!
