Hi all, I am a builder with years of experience in domestic dwellings but have recently started taking on commercial work aswell. I have just won a maintenance contract for a large food restuarant and they called me the other day with afew jobs I have to do, one being changing light tubes in...

hi all, can i connect a dual voltage shaver socket to the house ring main, or do i need to connect through the light radial? Cheers all

hi all, just bought a pre finished door but could not get it in deep mahogany, so had to get it in a oak finish. I want to stain it though with deep mahogany to match my other doors, it is a venneer finish which is smooth. How do i go about staining it, just sand it back to give a key and 2 x...

arh.... ok so that is that plan out of the window as was going to put it near the end of the paver drainage channel. Can you connect standard pipe to paver drainage channelling so i can run it under ground slighty below turf back towards house, keeping it 5m away from highway and probably 4m...

thanks alot guys, you have saved me alot of cash and hassle getting type3 hardcore. To confirm, for a 5m x 4m driveway would a 1ft x 2ft deep soakway filled with gravel be enough for this size of drive, or should i go bigger. It will be at least 4m away from the house aswell. thanks again

the issue is the drive has to slope towards the highway due to house being sited approx 18inches above the kerbside. Drive will be 6m long, would i get away with installing paver channel drainage at the bottom of the drive soaking away into the garden, maybe digging out a trench 1ft x 2ft deep...

another quick question, will a 1 bar shower pump be ok to feed all the hot water outlets in the house, i.e kitchen sink, bathroom taps or do i need to run a dedicated pipe straight to the over bath shower/mixer tap. I much doubt all will be used at the same time anyway. cheers andy

so from what your saying, there should be no problems installing the pump. The hot water tank is a 50litre tank i think, standard size found in most houses cheers

hi all, i have a baxi solo boiler at the moment and i want to install a new mixer shower valve and basin mixer tap in my bathroom. The taps i want recommend 1 bar pressure, and i am sure gravity feed is only 0.1bar. Can i install a 1 bar pump to my hot supply only that will work with this boiler...

ok, i will go get some bins in the morning, do i still need to undercoat with oil based undercoat after using bins, or just use bins then 2 coats of gloss. thanks alot for ur reply
