Thanks again. The cost of the heat pump goes beyond our budget so we will be looking for alternatives.

Thanks for your answer but your talking to someone who doesnt know what a heat pump is. Could someone explain a bit more and is it something i could install myself. As for air con things are begining to sound expensive on the running costs. I have a dehumidifer but it is a small ebac which...

Hi all. Looking for general advice on following topic. I work in a unit where condensation and humidty are high (cant do anything to change this) and need to construct a room approximately 4x5 metres within this unit. The purpose of the room is to dry out wet doors and furniture after...

Well thanks for the help everyone but it looks as if i have to build the deck as i originally planned because of the twelve inch clearance requirement. My mother is keen on the composite and i agree with her. Its not so much her age thats the problem but a disability she suffers. As for...

Yes sorry you are right cleaning is obviously a part of maintenance but a small jetwash should do the job.

Hi and many thanks for your replies. If i follow Deluks advice and use slabs to slightly elevate the joists (to combat damp i guess) then with joists at 2x6 and board at 25mm the total height will be 8 1/2 inches above existing patio height. However having just read the brochures from the...

Hi all, I am going to lay decking in my mothers garden next week. I have researched thoroughly and am well prepared and financed to do a 100% by the book top quality materials job that involves removing a patio digging out large area, digging 24 x 2' post holes (concreted posts)building frame...

By this i take it you mean to actually make all three switched spurs part of the kitchen socket circuit and therefore not really spurs but actually in the ring main. Am i okay to site these "spurs" and sockets on the opposite side of the wall to keep them out of view.

could do but this a new kitchen and the whole panel would need to be brought to a finish standard so as not to stand out and that is just too much grief when the panel supplied is already matched to the rest of the kitchen. Again thanks anyway but the tiling will finish where most normal people...

Thanks for confirming. A panel would add to the thickness and make the finish edge too proud of the unit edge. I think this is going to be more agg than needed. Tanks any way

Ok i can see there are lot of topics posted on hobs and ovens but non specific to my enquiry so i will be as specific as poss. 1 x single oven fan assisted (moulded plug) 1 x Gas hob with moulded plug (for ignition) 1 x Extractor with two core flex, bare wires at end. Can i wire a double...

I am going to tile between wall cabinets and worktop for my mothers new kitchen but she wants to tile over the side panel of the larder unit to match the wall if you catch my drift. Is this advisable and are there any precautions i should take to prevent tile movement. What concerns me is the...

Cheers peeps. Top tiles here i come.

I have Unibond ready mixed "tile on Concrete" adhesive and grout but the area i originally thought was concrete had a small area of vinyl tiles. I removed the tiles but this leaves a bitumen problem. The tub says not to tile over vinyl but has no reference to bitumen. A tiler (career...
