    Tiled in skirting board

    Tiled in skirting board

    Hi, My previous builder decided not to remove 15 year old skirting board and tile the floor up to it. What would be the best solution here to replace the skirting or at least tidy the job up somehow? I guess i could remove the grout, replace the skirting then regrout? Thanks

    Shower mixer problem

    Hi, in the photo the flanges are sat on the nuts, these discs are. Not part of the nuts. i did this in the photo so i could show the gap. Re: the backplate screws, i was only replacing the valve and the instructions show the only screws in the box being used to attach the backplate. There is...

    Shower mixer problem

    Hi, i used the screws that came with the unit. The valve is in the backplate correctly and the back plate is flush to the tile. All i can think is that the ive over tightened the compression nuts on to the pipes, but they arent that tight really.

    kitchen extractor position (moved from Projects)

    Quick question, does moving my extractor fan away from the chimney and using flat ducting mean I cannot have a chimney extractor?

    kitchen extractor position (moved from Projects)

    I think the hob needs to move to the right, then I will use flat ducting as flameport suggested. Then I can have DW, sink, then DW, followed by a cabinet going to the left. On the right wall I will have an integrated oven and fridge freezer. Do you think I will encounter any problems with this?

    kitchen extractor position (moved from Projects)

    Yep I can, its just the positioning, if I put the sink up against the wall it means the sink and hob are directly next to eachother, also, the dishwasher and washing machine would need to be next to the sink so it would be hob sink DW and WM all crammed together. I am reluctant to cut into...
