    At long last the kitchen is (almost) finished

    Hi Mark I love the Elica Glide and want to use one myself but I need some advice about the size please. My wall cabinets are only 30cm deep (without the door fitted) and my hob is 80cm. I was going to use the 90cm Glide however when I look at the Elica dimensions at...

    Is this a fair quote for fitting rads and Magna Clean?

    Just went back to check the quote and the exact words are as mentioned in my OP "Fill, flush and test all works undertaken. Add protective inhibitor solution on completion." I just assumed a flush was a power flush - apologies - not very au fait with these terms :oops:

    Is this a fair quote for fitting rads and Magna Clean?

    Hi all We live in a hard water and I was thinking of fitting a water softener. Our plumber suggested a Culligan Waterside MC 450 and said he could fit it so that we have soft water upstairs but downstairs only the hot water would be softened. However on doing some research I have...

    Help Easter weekend and no hot water or central heating!

    Plumber came out and says he can't fix it - water is getting into the tank or something. Says he will try and get the Baxi guys out sooner. Don't think I can face a week without hot water - wish we had our trusty old boiler still.
