    DIY B&Q Kitchen Project (Some Advice needed)

    Small tip - buy some iron on strip in the same colour as the units and iron it on to the carcasses so you don't see and white carcass behind the doors. Looks much better. Well done on fitting yourself, I was quoted £1750 just to assemble units fix them to the wall and level them. Nothing else...

    Second Hand UPVC conservatory

    Thanks for the replies. The seller cannot tell me if its safety glass or not as the conservatory was there when they bought the house so its not looking good. By the way when I said single course of bricks I meant in height not single thickness!

    Second Hand UPVC conservatory

    Thanks I think BRegs are for the glass (i am just going on what the council have said) but the plan is not to have a door between the conservatory and the existing room to make the existing room bigger as its so small. When you say seals do you mean the seals between the glass or the plastic...

    Second Hand UPVC conservatory

    Hi All, I have seen a conservatory second hand that is perfect for my garden. I don't need planning but need building regs. So, will it be more hassle than its worth as I won't know the spec of the glass etc so would the building inspector refuse to sign it off? Also once dismantled do they go...

    No stair string

Then hammered panel pins in all the way round the inside part of the triangle formed between the architrave and the tread and riser then filled with bonding. 3 coats undercoat and 3 coats gloss and...

    No stair string

    Thanks for the reply, yes it is going to be painted. I have thought about replacing the staircase but I have just had all the walls plastered! Also the staircase is quite wide (over 1m) so I can't buy a simple off the shelf £120 quid one. The house is a 160 year old cottage so the staircse is...

    No stair string

    Hi I have a flight of stairs going up between two walls, with a wall mounted handrail. There is no stair string up each side of the staircase. I would like to retrofit a string so it looks nice. I also want to fit a stair runner with stair rods so putting stair carpet all the way accross...

    Crap Builder from Brentford

    Small claims is only OK if they actually care about having a CCJ against them and that thay have any money to pay you back. I have been down the CCJ route & Baliffs for someone who wrote me a £500 rubber cheque. I never got my money and the 2 times I sent the baliffs (because it costs you to...

    Crap Builder from Brentford

    I have had the same scenario with my bathroom. However I consider it to be my fault for being so stupid as to pay / trust him - having said that I didn't pay in full until the time he said he had one days work left and paid the day before - there was more like a weeks work (I had to finish it...

    Can you buy 1 gang 3 way switches?

    That is confusing as the two switches upstairs definately have four terminals in each so are they both intermediates upstairs? I cannot remember the one at the bottom of the stairs, I will have to have a look

    Can you buy 1 gang 3 way switches?

    Hi I have been trying to find some of the above. I have got two seperate light switches on my upstairs landing (because it is a long corridoor so you can turn the landing lights on or off from each end) and one at the bottom of the stairs to control the upstairs landing lights before you go...
