I'll give it the once over tomorrow evening, and will report back! Thanks for your help!

Hmmm...thanks for that, seco... Wonder why it's leaking, then...clip too tight, not tight enough, or not positioned correctly, perhaps...?

That's right...the hose from the washing machine is slipped over the Atlant kit, and secured with a jubilee clip. I wondered if the hose from the machine should be fitted "inside" the Atlant kit somehow...

Hi I've connected up my new Ikea sink & the Atlant waste kit. http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/40215522/ However, I've taken delivery of a washing machine today, and tested it this evening. As the machine started to pump out the water, the water began to leak out over the...

Hi, I am having my kitchen refitted and it is nearing completion. However, I constantly have issues with my 2 pull-out and swing larder units. They are the ones that pull and swivel 90 degrees but they never seem to fit right. They 'clunk' when you swivel them and when you pull them out...

Sorry, I have posted this in the wrong area. :cry: I have reposted in the Carpentry forum. [/b]

Thanks for the replies so far! Yes - I informed the insurer that I was going to have one built, and I've informed them again now that it's built! I may be mistaken re. the fuse spurs etc. I'll run through it with the builder tomorrow, and I'll post back! (Panel heater is 1Kw btw)

Hi there I've just had a new conservatory built. The builders have taken a spur from a downstairs socket to power the electrics in there. There are fuse spurs for the fan and the panel heater. I've asked whether a certificate should be issued for this work, and I've been told that one...

Hi, I have fitted 2 bi-fold doors between my lounge dining room even though the instructions are pretty poor. I am a little confused as to how this closes shut properly though as any instruction to the spring closer unit is worn off. Where does it go exactly and how would this work...

Cheers all! No - it wasn't a leg-pull...I was a bit concerned that the head might come hurtling down the handle mid-swing! Ta !

Hi all I've just purchased my first pick axe...this one... http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?id=41489&ts=03391 It's arrived, and it comes in 2 pieces. My question is - what's the "proper" method of fitting the head on the handle? There's no screw mechanism...will "gravtiy"...

Hi, Thanks for the quick reply. The stone circle is going to be 3m diameter. I'm not sure where they get the turf from, however, I am sure it can't be worse than what the builder laid on the front lawn!! :lol:

Hi, We are having our garden landscaped and it is currently just a soil base (albeit subsoil) as it is a new build property. We have received one quote but the costs listed appear a little high and would appreciated some experts advice as to whether the costs given are reasonsable. The...

Hi, I logged a previous post about my waterlogged garden. I have now been contacted by the builder who are willing to rectify the drainage issue. However, they have suggested an Aco drain around the patio. My question is, is this sufficient? My common sense tells me that it is not...

hmmm...surprise surprise the site manager is not returning my calls. I have now constructed a lenghty letter to the director. Let's see if that sparks any action as they have been good with problems to date!

Thanks for all the advice guys. I went for the Ryobi Drill/Circular saw combi recommended by big-all. I managed to get a £10 discount code too so got the set for £89.99. It was his birthday on Friday and he loves it, especially when I showed him the catalogue which details the items that...

Thanks for the prompt reply! I am not entirely sure if the base is concrete, it sure seems solid when digging down though!! I have just called the NHBC to see if the builder is responsible or not and they said that a garden should not become waterlogged and usually the drains are the...

Hi, I have recently moved into a new property and the garden is so waterlogged that it is impossible to do anything at the moment. The property next door is higher than ours with a level garden where as ours is a graduated slope from the top right hand corner down to the level of the house...

Hi, I need some advice on which driver/drill will be the best to buy for my other half. We have moved to a new house and there are loads of jobs that he is doing but his current drill/driver isn't brill (the cheapest 18v drill/driver from B&Q bought about 5 years ago). Primarily he is...
