Ok guys I have a new question if I can please? Wasn't sure whether to start another thread or not? I have just started taking the kitchen cabinet apart to create the space for the dishwasher but there is a copper gas pipe that runs to the cooker with an earth connection. Is it ok to still put...

Great answer, Thank you. Now it makes more sense. I will just have to be careful to make sure I get the decline right and keep it secure so it stays in place. Thanks, I am gonna try this way.

Ok great, thank you. It might not be as far as I originally said. It depends what can be done with routing the pipe. It might be more like 1.2m.

Hi everyone, I just bought a dishwasher for the first time and I have everything I need but I have a question about the waste pipe set up from the dishwasher. It is probably 2m away from the sink connection round a corner so maybe 3-4m with the high loop/s. My question is basically do I need...

Ok thanks for clearing that up. The confusion was that they installed it at the same time as the central heating. I haven't even really looked at it to be honest. I am just asking on my nans behalf.

Yeah it's to do with the central heating. Lol yeah probably fitted 10-15 years ago. I am glad you said that because I just boxed it in! Appreciate the info. Thanks mate.

Hi, My nan has this filter I have attached below and she asked me to find out what she needs to do with it. I am guessing you turn the supply off then remove part of it then add some chemical cleaning liquid? I tried looking on google but I couldn't find quite what I was looking for. Can...

It's about a 1m² patch. Yeah my house was built in 90's and has artex ceilings. Probably not asbestos though. I would have definitely preferred to have skimmed it and I have done it before but it's for my 86 year old nan and she is kind of set in her ways. She only rents the place although...

Yeah shocking price. I bought a kit for £30 that is supposed to do upto 3m² and it was well reviewed so hopefully it is worth it. The brush was £15+ anyway.

Yeah apparently it was done without a stipple brush but I don't know how or what method. I have bought a stipple brush to have a go at getting as close to the pattern as possible.

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate your inputs. I am still on the fence about it to be honest. The bit near where I would need to drill is weak as well. I could just attach some wood to the skirting and build the frame up from there. It wouldn't look as professional but it wouldn't matter...

Ok so basically I need to box in some pipes for my nan behind her toilet and obviously it would be a lot easier if I can drill into the wall for the frame but I am nervous about there being asbestos. She recently had her bathroom converted and they have drilled a handle on the wall but I don't...

Also I forgot to ask if it's a bad idea to drill into this for boxing in? I think it was done around 30 years ago so is ot likely to contain asbestos?

Yeah something like that maybe. I know it's a bad idea to hack at artex. She still has polystyrene ceiling tiles as well! I think she would just say leave it as it is rather than skimming as she only rents. I don't think the landlord would help. They would just say it's ok as it is. I was just...

Hey guys, I am doing a few odd jobs for my nan and I am painting the bathroom and doing some boxing in of pipes and she has a patch on the wall where she had the boiler moved when she had central heating installed a few years ago. I said I will ask here as you are a knowledgeable bunch...
