    Are all baths created equal?

    I already figured steel or cast iron :D , I just haven't seen any baths made of steel or cast iron in the style I was after, so was asking for someone to point me in the direction of any square, freestanding baths made of steel/ cast iron/ another material.

    Are all baths created equal?

    Hi Flameport, Thanks for the advice. If a plastic bath for that kind of money is nonsense, could you point me in the direction of an alternative bath in the same style that would offer better value for money? Or could you point me in the direction of a bath in the same style (and made of...

    Are all baths created equal?

    Hi All, Jsuta quick question. We are getting our bathroom done have had a price for the supply of a bath (Corran Halycon square freestanding bath) at a cost of £1,300 odd (incl VAT). I think this is a little steep and have seen an equivalent (Royce Morgan - Chiswick) for approx £800 (incl...

    New lights in Bathroom and Kitchen

    Thanks for the replies. I am happy that the correct lights have been used in the bathroom (appropriate IP rating) and I have also used fire rated lights in all areas. So on that basis I feel happy. Basically, because I am selling I don't want any come-back later on either before the sale...

    Hi All, I've installed some new spot-lights in my bathroom, hallway and kitchen ("starred" off the exisiting lighting circuit for the original lighting points). I now understand that I should have got an appropriately qualified person to install and issue a cerificate for the bathroom and...

    TV Aerial Socket

    Hi radioredcat, Just been up on the roof and taken a photo into the round plastic box on the aerial and your assumption is correct, the connections look pretty corroded. see below. I have put the cap back on, it didn't seem to be split so I assume it just wasn't fitted properly. I'll...

    TV Aerial Socket

    Thanks for the reply flameport. Just wondering where i might be able to get a new cap and some cable from? The cable has a layer of copper foil through it as well. Will the cap be easy to remove and change? I also noticed that the aerial wobbled quit a lot. It is bolted on and has a wire...

    TV Aerial Socket

    Hi, Sorry about the length of time it has taken to reply, it's just taken ages to find a ladder long enough to get onto the roof :roll: . I managed to take a couple of pictures through the skylight a couple of weeks ago and pop up quickly tonight to confirm. It seems that the cap on the...

    TV Aerial Socket

    Thank you for all the replies. They are really helpful. I completely agree that the housing association who owns and maintains the block should deal with it. Spoke with them again today and I am the only one they have logged as having a fault with my TV signal so they won't deal with it until...

    TV Aerial Socket

    :lol: I probably have upset someone but don't think he is likely to have stuck a pin through the cable, but I guess you never know! The two cables apepar to be the same size (black sheathed coax cables) probably around the 6mm size. One appears to be coming into the box from the ceiling...

    TV Aerial Socket

    I had the same problems with my old TV and have just bought a new LCD TV with freeview which has helped until the last few weeks of bad weather. I also use a signal booster which helps marginally when the signal deteriorates. I am currently using an internal aerial and booster which isn't too...

    TV Aerial Socket

    Hi All, I have a couple of questions that I need cleared up. I moved into a flat 18 months ago and have noticed that in high winds or heavy rain the signal goes from the TV. I assume this is most likely from the aerial moving/ bad connection somewhere? I have spoken with the management...
