Thanks for the reply. That looks OK actually. Where are those tiles from just out of interest?

Been a while since I've posted here... The missus wants rustic metro type tiles on the kitchen splash backs but I'm not sure how the many plug sockets/switched spur fascias are going to sit on top of such irregular faced tile. She reckons we can fill any gaps in with caulk :/ but I'm not so...

They look a lot like the Laura Ashley tiles I took off our kitchen splash backs last year. Not sure how much help that is...

Thank you. Useful site that :)

They retain the gable end mortar at the bottom. Might have to replace some soon when I put off some fascia and have no idea what they are called. Thanks in advance

Found them fella. Sorted and cheers. Easy fix in the end :) The broom was stuck in a corrugated ridge so the door was bunching up at the top when it travelled down. The safety beam functions fine and no children were or could have been harmed. Thanks for your concern though. :love: And as...

Hi lads /lasses, Hope this is in the correct forum? I've a motorised single roller garage door that won't open fully or closes too much (motor keeps running even after it's physically closed) To cut a long story short, I closed the door today with remote (with my back turned) then only to...

Thanks for the reply Keith, To answer your questions: Yes I tried digging out that single stone in the pictures and and replaced the sand \ tried to flatten\tamp down with a block of wood (with the edges cut to overhang the adjacent slabs) I though this appeared level, I still get rocking when...

Hello there Hoping that someone can give a bit of advice as to how to tackle the odd loose\rocking paving stone and also how to secure the edge stones on my patio. I recently removed all the old cracked and loose grout and want to replace it but I know that if I do that it will crack again the...

Thank you for the for replies fellas. I've managed to dig out the manual and of course, the boiler does have connection terminals for a thermostat. Some research and reading required before I try to tackle it I reckon... Any idea how much a competent heating engineer would charge to fit one...

Wondering if any of you fine folk can provide some guidance We have a 14/15 year old floor standing Worcester Bosch Heatslave Combi 25/32 (Oil) which is fitted with a 2 stage heating programmer / timer and no thermostats. The timer can be programmed to switch on \ off twice a day. We moved...

I think I've a similar problem in my utility I think - which is right next door to where the Oil Boiler is in the garage. I can hear\feel the pipes banging on the floor when I walk over the area where they (pipes) cross the threshold from the Garage to the Utility. The floor is slightly...

I've just solved a similar problem with coving...it looks nice and finishes the room off in my humble opinion.

Just an update. All sorted. The internal sounder went off when I took off the cover :) and I have moved the PIR a few inches down the wall. Luckily, there was little bit of 'slack' tucked away in wall so I just pulled it through. I had a massive crater to fill where the previous screw...

I'm sure they are you know...might be wrong but: - 1234 > Enter to arm\disarm. 1234 > Prog and I get into the programming menu - all bottom leds lit? Ah - so the internal sounder will go when it's tampered with? Not the external. Ok Thanks. I'll give it a go. Cheers
