Actually that's why I'm asking. We had an air-con unit installed in the Autumn and it made no difference whatsoever. We working with the installer to find a solution.

It isn't really an option to close off the warehouse as customers do venture in there. I can't say I'm that keen on the radiant heaters as they would spoil the look of the area.

Not sure if this is the right section, but here goes anyway: I need to heat the sales area of our warehouse. It's approximately 10m x 5m x 2.4m. Floor is concrete and ceiling is suspended. One end has automatic doors and the other end is open to the rest of the warehouse which doesn't need...

We had some damp proofing work done to a dwarf wall in our 18th century timber framed cottage just before Christmas. This involved stripping away the old plaster, injecting the chemical treatment then applying a waterproof plaster. This was nearly two months ago and although most of the...

Thanks for the info. I agree that it would have been better to have done it properly first time around, but it seems the house was developed by messrs bodgit and scarper back in 2005 :roll: I'm thinking of either the fire hoods or the GU10 fittings as both can be installed from below...

I'm not sure if this is in the right section, but anyway... We have low voltage downlighters thoughout upstairs and it starting to annoy me how much of a draught is coming through them, particularly over our bed. Is there any way of draught proofing them, short of replacing them with a...

Easy tiger! I haven't even offered on the house yet! I'm in Kent BTW

Cheap pond pump?

Thanks for the replies. I haven't got dimensions but lets say it wouldn't be a squeeze to get 4 ford focuses in there! It's in a dip in the garden where the site has been levelled off. I was going to hire a mini digger and re-level the whole garden. Would I need to break up and remove the...

We're looking at buying a property that has a 4 car pre-fab garage (with an asbestos roof) in the middle of the garden. Is this something that is saleable - or even freecyclable? Would the roof pose a problem or is it ok to sell on asbestos sheets so long as the relevant precautions are carried...

Thanks for that. I'll have to get someone round to have a look.

We're looking at buying an ex local authority property that has the usual (for round here anyway) attached outbuilding that has been converted into another room. It measures approximately 4mx2m and has a pitched tiled roof. The roof has obviously been re-tiled at some point with concrete...

Renardine was actually banned a couple of years ago. Real shame as it worked.

Hi, I'm looking to buy a car that the owner has had for 5 months and has not received the V5 from the DVLA. He has the green copy (section 10). The HPI check has come back clear but I am concerned about parting with my cash as he is not the registered keeper. He seems genuine and has given me...

I think I would rather use the linkable lights because they are non notifiable. Once the strip under the cupboard is fitted they are virtually invisible anyway. Bringing it back to the original questions, am I right in thinking 5x 500m strips is about enough and can I join the cables? Thanks!

HI guys, I want to put under cupboard fluorescent strips in our new kitchen. Firstly I am not sure how many to use. I have on one wall an 800mm wall unit, then a run of 2200mm then 1100mm and a gap of 800mm (for the extractor) and another unit of 900mm. I was thinking of using 5x 494mm...

Thanks very much, now got them working. :D

Right got one now only the instructions are really not very helpful. Sorry for being thick but how do I use it to check the switch cable?

No - but I think I might need one :roll: I have never used one - so how would I go about finding the switch cable?

the halogen lights are all mounted on one plate and each blue and brown wire are connected to each other in the block - how they were when I bought it. How do I test the wires with a multimeter?
