Seems to have about 5 a year, alright for some :D Thanks, just what I was after, one happy customer.

Any chance someone can clarify something for me. A customer wants their shower switch to be located in the airing cupboard rather than the bathroom. Is this ok or not? I cant find any specific reference to it in Part P docs I have been looking through and there seems to be conflicting advice...

I'm a bit confused as have a problem I can't identify with a loft. Property built in the 90's with full length soffit ventilation and vents in gable front and back . Can feel the that their is air circulating in there. No sign of any hot water being vented back into the storage tank, both cws...

Thanks guys, just wanted to make sure I wasn't being over the top. Just found out a mate of mine has got to quote for him next week which should be interesting as he normally subs his bathrooms out to me :)

Been working mainly as a subbie for years but witht the current economic climate I am taking on my own work. Done a lot of bathroom refurbs in the past for small builders so advertised for bathrooms, kitchens etc, anything I can't do I will get someone in for. However, just priced up my...

Thanks guys, apparently it was serviced just over 6 months ago as it was a rented property, whether that was done properly or not is another matter! How can i tell if the DHW flow switch is working?

Hi All, If anyone can shed some light on a problem I have with my boiler I would be grateful. It is a Vokera flowmatic as per the title and it is a bit random with the hot water. Most of the time when the hot tap goes on I get a burst of hot water followed by luke warm irrespective of the...

Thanks guys, will look at both of those.

I am after a cordless nailer and thought I'd canvass some opinion first. I have an Hitachi gas nailer for 1st fix and I do like it, takes pas gas and nails so easy enough to get supplies. What I wasnt now is a smaller one which will do second fix and also be useful for other things. I have...

Unbelievable, and people are condoning it too! I may well think twice before cutting into a water main in future. Especially if they have a nice garden :)

Don't be silly, if it's not negative it's not reported ;)

A loft conversion requires building control and they will not pass it if there is no staircase as it has inadequate means of escape. Stairs can be internal or external but they have to be there. Who has designed teh conversion as they should know this!

Only way to be sure is to try it, I have a few different oem's from various manufacturers. Some will not even install on the wrong machine whereas some will install and activate fine. Not tried an advent one though.

My thoughts exactly, assuming you all share a drain then she is slowly blocking them by doing this which no doubt will cost everyone when they eventually start to back up!!

The licence will be for that exact version, if it is an acer for instance the licence is for acer's version of xp and I am fairly sure this is non transferable. I may be wrong but as the manufacturers pay considerably less than the consumer buying a boxed copy off the shelf I believe that it...

It wouldn't be on the bill as it will be included within the 'labour' charge. If it's under 20 quid then whatever blades and bits he got will be blunt after the job. seems like you're being a bit petty to me considering the guy has obviously done a good job (as you're not complaining), provided...

From what I can see the framework has been put in the wrong place and everyone has carried on regardless. The responsibility to you lies with whoever undertook the project for you ie architect/contractor. In theory if your existing wall was 6" out of plumb then the chippy should have...

ok, great, so if I make sure I only use longer lengths it should be ok? or would it be better to be nailed? I have never laid the solid wood before so want to make sure I get it right :)

thanks for the reply, all the packs are opened and they are all 1200mm long. What would be the issue with doing it as a floating floor if they were short lengths?
