Hello All I have old Sunvic kit which I decided needed upgrading. The programmer I have is 22 years old and the room stat very 1980's (nice shade of creamy brown - yum). Anyway I now have a Sunvic 207 XLS a Sunvic wiring centre SWC2202 and a new room stat TLX 2259. Stupidly, although a...

Hey Tabita, Right, new seats for your throne - depends on what you want because there are 1,000s out there. I really wouldn't do cheap because you get the kind of result you have now. Avoid the painted mdf seats. The painted surface wears off over time and if you get a chip or two (not...

I get firkling in the morning and furgle my crows foot.......... Thanks chaps appreciate all the input and suggestions. Baz

Thanks Paul. About 40cms out of this shot the pipe is teed to the HWC so prying the pipe isn't an option since it wont move out of the clip, unless you disconnect the elbow from the HWC. Even then, not having the physique of a supermodel, getting more than one limb into play (into the space...

As the one that started this (!) I must admit I didn't take comments made by anyone negatively and was rather encouraged to give it a go. So thank you all for the input. I have completed several jobs over the years and have collected kit (eg. tile saw) that makes life so much easier. Like...

OK - hope this works......... you can see that access is tight but is was put on so somehow it can come off! cheers Baz

Hi Tabita, I strongly doubt that B&Q sells such kit. Like most DIY chains, their solution would be to sell you a new toilet seat. Great for their bottom line, bad for your pocket/purse (and the environment)! Generally, quality of bathrooms (and accessories) that are sold in such outlets...

Thanks for all the feedback chaps. I have a pair of cheap grips similar to the ones in the link that keep 'snapping' when you use them, thereby losing grip. Drives you nuts. Even if they did work properly, I don't think I have enough room to use them. I estimate 10cm from wall to HW...

Hello All, Need to decouple a 28mm compression joint that isn't easily accessible. You can get an adjustable wrench on it but you cannot get enough of a turn before you can flip over the wrench and undo some more (if you catch my drift). I have been looking for something on the net...

Morning, The piece of kit you are after is a composite ablution (seat) retaining device. I Googled it and found a supplier, which I include here. Chances are high that the thread is exactly the same as the one you have...

Being a fairly Ok DIYer, I have taken on most jobs, including putting the kitchen in that I now wish to 'makeover'. Pro tilers like most tradesmen are working to a price and a time frame. The really good ones do a great job in no time at all. The less able do an OK job in no time at all (no...

Probably need to get some quotes. I can do the job myself but like most DIYers it's the time it will take. Three days to get the tiles up would be a target and a week to lay the new floor. It will be a blinding job but ....... cheers again, Baz

Thanks jefos, I was afraid you were going to say that. Ripping up a floor in the kitchen is a pain since you have to continue to use it while the work goes on and the dust will get everywhere. Perhaps the dust will mask my poor cooking skills? Hey-ho. Barry

Once again, many thanks. If the cold supply to the HWT is closed off, I thought that logically it cannot split/blow. Thinking again, like a steam engine with too much steam there might be the flaw in my logic.................. Cutting the pipe as suggested might work as the distance...

Hi Guys, I have a 10 year old kitchen that was built over a 20 year old tiled floor. The tiles were installed by the house builder so not good quality and not that level! When the kitchen went in, the budget didn't cover a new floor. Looking back, it was a mistake not to give the kitchen...

Thanks Softus. I think dense foam is a high possibility (the sort you get as insulation around HW cylinders). I am fairly sure that the blockage is not in the cylinder since a power shower (without power on, so it's gravity fed) evidences the same pressure if switched between hot or cold...
