    Single Integrated Oven to Replace a Double Oven

    No luck finding a match, but colour wise I'd be happy with a similar colour or even just black/graphite to go with the oven, it will be low down near the floor under the oven so not exactly on show...

    Single Integrated Oven to Replace a Double Oven

    Tried that, not sure if I'm not using the right terminology but I can't find any the right size that aren't stupidly expensive or only available to trade or as part of a full kitchen purchase... I'll keep Googling...

    Single Integrated Oven to Replace a Double Oven

    I have a Wren kitchen (10 years old) and it was fitted with a double oven - it was fitted in a 600mm void that had side panels inserted on each side and and an oven 'bracket' that it rested on. I've taken it out and fitted the new NEFF without issue, however as the NEFF is a single there is not...

    Dunster House log cabin pre-treatment?

    I've got a log cabin coming next week (Dunster House Daft Badger), and am trying to decide how best to treat it to prolong it's life. I've decided on Protek Royal Exterior for the outside when finished, and want it natural inside so will just use wood oil or varnish, but my question is if anyone...

    Vaillant Boiler - Service Heat Generator

    Is that something I can do myself? I have the installer code thing, that is how I know the next service date on the control panel is 2018. My installer is not local so would have to travel to fix it. Does it make a difference if I ignore it?

    I have an EcoTech 825 Plus combi-boiler that is 2 years old and has had 2 services. The last service was October and I've checked the control panel and the next service is set for October 2018.

    Help me realign my PVC French Door

    Hi, I've just noticed our French doors have developed a gap at the top which is wide enough to feel a draft and let water in. I'm guessing the hinges need to be tweaked to adjust the alignment but I don't know which does what? There seems to be two screws and two Allen key holes on each hinge...

    Cavity wall insulation in bricked up door?

    Thanks, that's what I thought - but with it being the window fitter doing the work rather than the builder I just want to make sure he is aware...

    We are on the verge of having a kitchen diner conversion and as part of the work our window fitter (who is replacing all the windows and doors in the house) is also going to brick up the old kitchen door and replace it with a window so it is ready for when the builders to do the internal work...

    Replacing concrete manhole with grass-top cover

    Not sure what mine carries - problem is there is nothing wrong it with - I just want it changed for cosmetic reasons so I'm not sure I could get anyone to pay for mine...

    Replacing concrete manhole with grass-top cover

    We have two rather unsightly concrete manholes in the middle of our lawn that we would really love to do away with. Due to the position of them it is impossible to hide them under a planter or in a path etc and the only viable option is to replace the covers with grass-top covers that I have...

    Can you switch on hot water while radiators are drained?

    Question as subject, I'm waiting on a part which won't be here until tomorrow but I really want to turn the hot water on if I can? The radiators are drained and I've tied up the ball in the expansion tank. It is an old two valve boiler as pictured, if I only turn on the hot water will it damage...
