    Covering copper pipes in the floor

    Thanks I've been trying Denso tape but there is not much room to wrap it around and I'm worried doing it moves the pipe around too much. Is there anything you can paint on the pipe to help stop corrosion?

    Covering copper pipes in the floor

    Several years ago we had new central heating pipes laid in the floor of the living room which were going to be covered with screed once we did the rest of the room up. Plumber had just covered them in the felt lagging. The lagging was just fabric not the ones which also had a plastic backing so...

    Wickes Flatpack or Rigid kitchen cabinets

    Wickes Flatpack or Rigid kitchen cabinets

    Are Wickes cabinets as good as rigid cabinets? We will be mostly fitting our kitchen with our builder helping us fit the trickier bits and separate installers for the Worktop. Our builder has recommended we buy rigid cabinets not only because they will be easier to fit but that they are also...

    7mm gap in shower corner, silicone or grout then silicone over?

    The bead is done. It does look a bit thick, I used masking tape and a mitre smoothing tool!! Silicone fun by Kitsune posted 26 Jan 2016 at 6:10 PM Not quite as neat as I would have liked but not completely crap either.
