Hi Does anyone have any suggestions for locating a fridge with a depth of 52 cm? I have looked everywhere with no luck Thanks in advance

Thanks. We put the PVA on when it peeled/crazed for the second time, thinking that it would cure the problem. What do you suggest as a resolve for this?

Hi When we moved into our house the previous owners had replastered the hall walls and there was a new coat of emulsion on. We emulsioned over this with our colour of choice. About 6 months later we noticed cracking and peeling of the paint. Having made enquiries we decided that the...

Hi We are replacing our Trevi 45 3.5 bar shower pump as the previous one was leaking. While doing this we are thinking of replacing the shower head as we would like a larger one. Do we have to look for a specific type of shower head bearing in mind the 3.5 bar pump? Thanks in advance.

Hi We are about to have a wood burner fitted and have noticed that the flexi liner and twin wall flue are alot cheaper online than the quotes we have recieved and subsequently we are thinking of purchasing the above products online. Can anyone recommend any sites - we have looked at...

Thanks. I forgot to mention that our budget is an issue. Commercial vinyl seems dear or maybe i am looking in the wrong places for it. When i visited Allied Carpets they told me that over a certain depth the vinyl is more prone to damage. I would like to know which depth is best.

HI We are about to lay some vinyl flooring in our kitchen which gets heavy traffic and we also have a dog( thinking of dog claws etc) What is the best depth of vinyl to buy? I have been told that too deep and it can get damaged easily.... We have seen some at 2.6 mm. Would that be ok...

We would like to make an outdoor burner or firebox. Old wood burners are expensive so we thought that maybe we could build one either out of metal or using bricks. Has anyone done this before? if so, are there any tips or advice please. BTW we have used a chiminea - loved it! - but it...

Hi Thanks for that. The heating comes on as normal and warms the house but after about 20 minutes the boiler starts shutting down and firing up again for about a minute -or less - on and then off in a cycle. Turning the room thermostat (normally set at about 17 deg) down the boiler shuts down...

Having given it some thought and looking further on this great forum I am wondering if the problem is that the pump is failing. Could this be the cause?

we have a myson apollo 80c boiler. When the central heating comes on, it works fine for about 20 minutes and then starts to turn itself on and off at regular intervals of about a minute. The only way to stop this is to shut the heating off for a while and start again... Any advice would...

Hi I have measured it at the boiler.

I have a Myson Apollo 80B boiler. I measured the input and output temperatures with a type K thermocouple mounted on the copper pipes as close to the boiler as possible. The inlet temperature measures 52 deg C and the outlet temperature measures 57 deg C . Therefore a 5 deg temperature...
