Folks, I've been thinking of buying a Neff T2144 to replace my existing hob but for some reason Neff don't seem to provide tech specs on t'internet. Does anyone out there have one of these and if so would you be able to tell me if it needs mains power and also where the gas supply enters the...

[/url] Well... you may be the prophet of doom. My house is empty just now because we're redecorating but I went into the kitchen this morning and congregated around the remenants of my sweet and sour from last night were a gang of these thugs. Good news? That fly trap on the website is...

I'd had a think about that before too and it would be a better solution but (and I'm not trying to be unnecessarily difficult here :wink: ) I'd either have to put it through the stonework again (oh, I'm also 3 floors up too - so scaffolding or some snazzy do-it-itself solution from inside would...

Well, a few reasons... I live in a flat in a victorian tenement and the combination of boring through 2-3 feet of sandstone wall, coupled with having to live with a run of conduit spoiling the original cornicing and the general brushed aluminiumness of it all has always put me off. The room is...

Hi Folks, I've just redecorated the kitchen and binned my old recirculating cooker hood. Just googling for a new one and most seem to be of the chimney type. Apart from the aesthetics is there any difference in operation between these and the panel style ones in recirculating mode? I'm...

Job done... All worked a treat, ta!

Thanks for the reassurance, I've started this morning and "flippin' heck" it's amazing what a little bit of PVA can do :o After just one coat it's miles more stable and more akin to stone than the sand it was before. I'll pop another couple of coats on it today and leave it till tomorrow and...

Hello all, I've just finished dismantling a built in cupboard in the boxroom. It's come out quite cleanly but with some plaster damage in areas (up to approx 15cm holes). The plaster is a solid surface coat with a kind of soft powdery grey substrate underneath with a texture somewhere between...

Folks, A month or so ago I posted about some damage to an exterior wall where water had been seeping from an over-the-bath shower area through some crap tiling (poor grouting, tiles laid with patchy adhesive on a mix of plaster, offcuts of timber beading and expanded foam filler etc etc - not...

Right, I've finally managed to get some time to have a proper look at this. Tapping the tiles some sounded "hollow", so I took off 5 or 6 tiles (15cmx15cm) from the row at the bath edge that sounded dodgy and now I wish I'd never bothered! The plaster on the wall behind only goes down about...

Hi Folks, I live in a tenement flat with a common close and a couple of weeks ago I noticed that a patch of paint (emulsion) on my bit of close wall was "bubbling". Since then it's got bigger and where it has flaked off it looks like the some of the plaster underneath has decomposed (bubbled...

Mark, Is the cartridge the fitting with the metal plate on that slides into the valve? If so it's made out of plastic. buckie. PS The actual contact plate that makes and breaks the flow looks like stainless steel, it is < 1mm thick approx 14mm diameter and on the end of the plastic...

Hi, First let me say I am as far from a plumber as it is possible to get... I've got a dripping mixer tap (dripping from hot water side). I took it apart expecting a washer/jumper type fitting but it has a rotating cylindrical metal plate with two holes in it and two (what look like)...
