    Filler or Caulk around skirting boards?

    Hi, we've just have new skirting boards fitted and there is a gap around the top edge etc. I used some decorators caulk around it but it 'sank' in slightly leaving a dust collecting trough, plus the caulk seemed similar to bathroom silicone & therefore I could not sand it without it frilling at...

    problem viewing certain web sites

    just a quick reply before i go to work, the behaviour your describing isn't really the default behaviour from IE, it was more likely influenced by third party software such as google toolbar's "address bar browse by name" function etc or a setting that you altered yourself. by default IE would...

    Cushioned Vinyl bubbles appearing (pro fitted 6 months ago)

    Hi, the only reason that i can see that it would buckle there and by the cooker is that these places do not allow any movement, further down from the dishwasher, where the cabinet legs meet the floor, the vinyl was cut around the feet, when they came to glue the floor the vinyl appeared to have...

    Cushioned Vinyl bubbles appearing (pro fitted 6 months ago)

    hi again, thanks very much for the reply, you have said what I was thinking, I'm glad it's not just me. I have put up a picture for you to see I deliberatly angled the camera to show reflections on the bumps. When they lifted it back up there were no marks under the vinyl, its as if it has...

    Cushioned Vinyl bubbles appearing (pro fitted 6 months ago)

    Cushioned Vinyl bubbles appearing (pro fitted 6 months ago)

    Hi, we had cushioned vinyl flooring fitted to our kitchen about 6 months ago. The fitter installed it on top of old vinyl tiles & didn't use any kind of adhesive at the time. The flooring has since started to bubble up in places over towards the floor units, it also appears to have stretched? We...

    Shower install, 10.5kw on 6mm cable?

    The shower itself is rated 10.5 KW @ 240v. Deeper in the book it gives a rating of 9.6kw @ 230V, using that guide, the 8.5kw should be approx 7.8kw @ 230v, the 9.5 is 8.7 @ 230v. I feel the 8.5 @ 240 would be much better for my purposes as I can't justify having the cable replaced (cost...

    Shower install, 10.5kw on 6mm cable?

    I've just checked the pull switch again & it is rated 45a. Just another quicky, i'm probably wrong but I thought that it was ok to wire in/change a shower to an existing installation without notifying the council? Shaun

    Shower install, 10.5kw on 6mm cable?

    Great thanks for that, thats cleared up a few doubts I had in mind, I'll now return the shower & exchange for a lower rated unit. What would you guys advise is the maximum you would fit in such a specification? I'm not looking to rewire the run to suit the shower, however, if needed i would...
