Just an idea; have you tried solution of washing soda ... it gets rid of grease and also stripped the polish off my wood units by accident. Don't take my for word for it tho
Someone gave me a new bathroom Armitage shanks Sandringham 51 basin without a pedestal
Will a random pedestal be ok to use, or are the pedestals fairly specific for the basin shape ?
Cheers
We want to maintain maximum ceiling height for bedrooms in roof space and need to insulate under rafters.
If we could get rid of diagonal bracing members measuring 25x100x1000, could we replace these with heavy duty steel straps 5mm thick x 30mm x various lengths.
It would make it much easier...
If its not dark wood then you can strip it back to bare wood and start again. it may be cheaper to replace some of the skirting then spend the time stripping it.
I have been getting into researching this wood stain lark and it's doing my head in.
I need to 'do' a brand new redwood timber fascia and soffit and not sure what to plump for
I phoned the Sikkens hotline; they said to use HLS+ then Filter 7 top coat (blurb recommend 2 coats each) but after...

Hi
the chippies want to pretreat timber fascia and ply sheets for soffit before the boards are fitted and the ply sawn into strips.
Can anybody recommend a lasting and quick and sensible treatment for these
We will probably go for a wood stain kind of final finish rather than paint
Any...
This a conversion and walls are not insulated in the cavity. We are doing interior celotex
is there no fire regs thingy that is should be fire stopped ?
i wonder have you lived with mice dancing on your plasterboard ?
Planning to use a cavity sock to stop the gap between the 2 leaves at wall plate height
Will this stop mice from getting into walls ? lots of the little blighters in this neck of the woods

Quite so, but how do the uninitiated ( me) know the difference between a good or bad installation. A bad installer might fudge the test. Will the building control inspector want to see the test being done ?
It's the old head height conundrum. Concrete ground floor without insulation which don't want to dig out so must go ontop. Not sure how much insulation we are going to have to use yet. There are steels that will drop into ceiling height in the middle ( open plan) so trying to minimise build up...
