Hello Are there any tips for wallpapering around obstacles, in my case I have a narrow space that includes four corners with curved coving going into the wall, so I have to paper around a range of different sized curves. As I'm using patterned paper, I can see it going pear shaped and cursing...

Do you suggest I need to check the power to ensure it's still 'live' or for other / compatibility reasons? P.S. in the meantime I noticed that Amazon seem to have them slightly cheaper: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Danfoss-Randall-FP715SI-Heating-Programmer/dp/B001HB9LAG Thanks again.

Hello Diyisfun, thanks for the reply. Possibly, but I assume the underling in a nationwide chain will have less flexibility to knock down their prices, and in the unlikely event they could, their marginal offer would still not be half price or less than the sale price which is what the...

Update: Well, I got a quote out of interest for somone to do this for me. 6 metres by 1 metre, remove old path and relay slabs on sand and cement. £900 for cheque. Ouch. So rather than playing with cement it seems advisable to do it myself with more of a dry mix and slabs..
