Will do, thanks John

Thanks John, wondered what was going on there, the place is quite an age now. Any ideas of any new bricks that might match up close to the existing? I'm not expecting anything to be exact but if I can get as close as I can it'll be good. Cheers

Hi all, I need to make repairs to my house wall, I'll be removing an old vent and will need to replace around 10 bricks. I'm having real trouble trying to identify the bricks to use, the house is of an age and construction where it could be a mix of anything! approx size is 2250 x 650 x 110 mm...

Hi, just after a bit of advice.. I've visiting a friend in Aberdeen next week, a long way from me in Kent! Their Amica oven has stopped working, it has a combined oven and grill. The hobs are still working and no circuit has tripped. I'm guessing the element needs replacing but i only get...

That's probably it! I'll take a look in the morning. Thanks!

Hi, thanks for the reply, this model doesn't have those caps. This is like a whole silver cap that sits over the end, the while thing turns. All I can see is the little bar handle that sticks out unscrews but I'm not sure what to do next. Thought the cap might just pull off but I can't seem to...

Sorry, I was trying not to go on too much and have ended up being too vague! We bought a house a few years ago with a seperate annex. Recently we have been looking into the possibility of seperating the two and selling off the annex as its own unit, getting a new address etc. The annex was...

Hi, I wonder if anyone can shead some light on this for me! I have a planning application submitted to register a 1 bedroom house as a house for residential purpose. The work to convert this from a garage was carried out many years ago but has only ever been registed as a garage (rather...

Thanks guys, Thats a handy link to have, but this is the issue I'm already stuck with - a recommendation for 10mm & the link suggesting 16mm - although it seems a 50A breaker is correct! Different sites are suggesting different cable! The board will be new and everything fitted and tested by...

Hi All, I'm having trouble finding the answer to this... My father in law wants to have a new 10.8kw shower installed, I have offered to buy and run the cable, breakers etc. but am not sure what to go for.... The cable will be run through a loft (not insulated now but will be) and the...
