I am replacing some kitchen door handles on, i am going to be left with one single hole per door to fill as the handles are a longer design, do you know where i can get some wood filler to match the cherry finish of the doors? Or even how to create one? Cheers.

I have no problem paying what the job is worth, I just want to ensure that I dont get ripped off!

thanks to all who replied... However! The elec local people called me back to tell me that the guy who serves my area (Ayrshire Scotland) has left the company so they couldnt help. I spoke to another independant electrician last night on the phone, i told him i had the SWA, CU and that...

Hi All, I need to install power to my detached garage that sits about 10m from my house. I plan on doing the donkey work myself, supplying as much of the kit myself and getting a spark in to do the scary bits (connecting to the CU at the house and testing). The first number that I have come...

Thanks for the reply... No pics as yet, sorry. The surface that holds the water is not that large, say 3m x 5m. According to the paving expert site, a soakaway would be useless in clay soil... the fact that the water doesnt soak-away from the blocks probaly means that it wont soak away...

Cheers for the help - (no, not you Nige :D ) - I will keep the ball valves turned down a notch and the next time i go to buy a kitchen tap I will buy an expensive one!! Odd thing is that there are no bad views or reviews of the Ikea tap on the web... maybe its a case of peoples expectations...

Thanks. Can you tell me if there will be any 'issues' with keeping the ball valves that I currently have turned down a bit? Apart from a little extra noise that is fairly un-noticeable that is? Thanks for your help Gerry

I have just tried this and it has stopped the mahority of the 'splashing' !! Where can i get these magic flow reducers from and do they do a different job than turning down the check valves? Cheers Gerry

Hi, I have recently installed an Ikea 'Bagvic' mixer tap in my kitchen. The tap looks nice and was 'economical' to purchase but the provblem is that the flow from it is very uneven and splashy - if you get my drift! The mixed water belts out of the tap quite unevenly and when it hits the sink...
