One last question, should I do it in this oder: Ceiling,Walls then doors and skirting?

Thanks for all your replies I was thinking this would be the answer.Just skill no special gadget or trick.

Im intending to paint my property internally.One area Im a little unsure of is how I can best achieve a good finish between the wall and ceiling, as they are to be different colours.Ive seen the paint pads but I can just imagine that they wont be that easy to use an judder along and end up...

Thanks for the reply.I favour the roller method and then paint the other in accesible parts by a brush carefully. Whne you say short nap aere your refering to the thickness of material on the roller? Also which paint is best?

Im painting my property internally.One place Im a little unsure of is my front door.I believe looking at it that it has been painted in the past and also if I paint my hall and leave the door I'll end up with white skirtings and a cream door.:-) The front door is completely metal and also...

Looking at replacing ome driveway concrete slabs.They are approx 600mmX600mm.The existing cracked slabs were laid with sand underneath and a nearby trees roots I guess with movement overtime and the car loads going over them have cracked.Maybe also were the soil dries and then absrbing mositure...

Nobody got a clue what a ball park figure would be replace a divertor valveon a Baxi combi HE plus boiler?How about the cost of the divertor valve?Anywhere online I can find the diverter I havent been able to find one myself online.

Is there any way I claim the money back from a garauntee,maybe from NHBC?

Thanks for all your replies.Any idea how much it would be to change a divertor valve on a Baxi combi HE plus boiler?Only after a rough guideline.Looking at £195,sound about right?

OK thanks.I just wanted to narrow down what the problem could be before calling a plumber.Rather than not having a clue and getting stitched up by some cowboy.I realise that not all plumber are cowboys,but the last one I had in was, even though he was registered with Corgi.For instance the loud...

I've left it on the summer setting now for over an hour now with stat turned right down and the rads are still warm.Sound more like the divertor then?

There is also some history with this sytem I didnt mention. The system is 3yrs old this May. The original installer was called back to fix a seepage from a radiator pipework connection (no drip just the rad pipework is damp when you touch it)I also had a loud noise appear intermittantly fom...

Yes there is a small seepage of water coming out on the connection to one rad and I have to keep bleeding the system.I probably worded it incorrectly.What I meant to say, if its pressurised ,while the circuit is running I thought some water would exit through this hole & the pressure will go...

The boiler is a combi baxi on a pressurised system.I still have problem with air getting into a small hole in one rad,but will fix this when the weather is better.But currently when I turn the stat right down to its furthest point I find I have warm radiators1-2 hours after.The rads arent at...

Looking at it again it appears to be just after the nut,so tightening nut would make no difference.Yes youre right not possible to plug temporarily as its unde pressure.Might be best to just leave until I can work on it. How easy is it to do then?Do I have to drain the entire heating system...

Is there a simple way to seal a small leak on a heating pipe?I have always wondered why I kept getting air gurgling around my heating system and have since noticed that there is a tiny leak around the nut that joins the radiator to the pipework,seems it just needs some PTFE tape added to it,but...

Any ideas on these other four holes?Should I be worrying about ventilation in a meter box?

:D Thanks for that.I'll get some foam if I can afford it otherwise I might just use electrical installation tape to cover the holes.There are also 4 holes,2 either side at top and 2 either side on bottom of the side panels of the meter box.Are these holes to aid air circulation and reduce risk...

Thanks for the feedback.I was just worried whether I would subject the cbale to any fire risk thats all.I'll probably just do that and use some filler.

I have an electrical meter box positioned just outside my flat in the lobby area,however the outside of the box isnt completely sealed tight,I guess this is correct to keep the cabling cool and as the box is indoors,but I have also noticed I can see through the cable penetraion from the meter...
