Thanks Have now defrosted pipe For others infomation this is what I did Turned hot water off at immersion (turned red wheel), opened tap at kitchen sink Took a hairdryer + RCD and warmed pipes starting at just behind taps and working my way along towards immersion. Worked my way into...

Have just returned from holiday and the hot water pipe in the kitchen has stopped working - I assume it's frozen as it's been so cold and the pipe passes through a cold attic over the kichen ceiling. We did leave the heating on as usual but it's colder than normal! What should I do? Open the...

Thanks, I have just phoned the shop and the fitter is coming back on friday to have a look. It's a felt layer on the underside of the carpet, then a plastic weave with a berber carpet on that. I'm not sure how it's laid down, only I can't see the edges so I thought it was bent over. Except...

Thanks Richard. What I mean by 'threshold' is that our downstairs is sort of open plan (difficult to describe!) - we broke up the length of the room with a wooden board (matches beams, so looks better than one of the shop metal things) rather than having a join in the carpet. I just wanted...

Hi, Looking for some advice on a carpet I had laid in the last month. When hoovering last week a thread from one edge of the carpet came loose and was sucked up the hoover! This has left a frayed-looking edge. On examining that edge it looks like the carpet has been cut to fit that wall...

It's the Favorit 88070 Vi

It's integrated too, so you can't get to it from the outside without dismantling half the kitchen....

I know - It's very posh!!! It's in a clear plastic 'socket' to stop it getting wet, I just don't know how to get to it!

Does anyone know how to change this? Customer services don't! And the service people they put you through to say I can do it myself, but it's not in the manual so I don't want to start tampering!!! Thanks, Vicky

Hi, I'm posting this for my dad, he has a problem with his hot water/central heating system, it keeps going wrong, getting blocked and he has been told it needs replacing (new condensing boiler, cylinder and control unit) and quoted £4000. Firstly does the price sound about right? (I know...

Thanks Craig and Dan for the advice, bathroom only took 5 months to do so glad you think it looks good...!

Thanks - will instruct the hubby at the weekend! I have been called a geek for boasting about the 'quality of my pics!' :lol:

That' s(hopefully) the taps and this is (hopefully) the bath and sink OOOHHH - it looks really clean in the photos!! (It is - the baby has been washing the floor tonight...)

We had our bathroom redone about a year ago and had no problems till around a month ago. The hot water tap on the bath has gradually stopped working - it has got harder to turn and less and less water has been coming out. The hot water pipe attaches to the sink about a foot before the bath and...

Thanks for all your replies. Spoke to the council again, we DON'T need plans, just need to fill in the building regs form and send them a cheque! We DON'T need structural engineer calculations! I persuaded hubby not to start the demolition as I wanted to check with a SE anyway... By...

They want to visit when the rsj is in place and the ackros are still supporting too. So they'll be able to see everything Everyone I know/have spoken too is surprised we don't need to do plans... I'm doubting we were given the right info...

Hubby is going to knock through the wall between the dining room and kitchen, I'm a worrier so I thought I'd check with you guys.... It's a supporting wall (9cm breezeblocks) with a door already in it, 2.7m long. He has borrowed some ackros and is planning on using pieces of wood 6cm ish...
