We've got a power shower and Id like to swap the single small head for one like the below with two heads. Is there anything that can be used to simply screw into our unit? Like the one attached Everywhere I've read says not to used ones like the attached one, with diverters, as they can damage...

I'm looking at sorting the walls out in our bathroom as the plaster was all blown. I wanted to leave the tiles in place as they're all okay but just replace the plaster around them Would it best to take all the painted walls back to brick and re board / skim or try and patch without taking too...

I need to replace some blown bricks but I'm struggling to find a suitable colour match for the mortar. It's a kind of in-between grey/buff I think Does anyone have any suggestions on what to use? Thanks

Thanks, is there a good way of removing the existing one?

Has anyone got any ideas on the best way to join edging to this? Is it even possible? Or would it be best to try and remove it and put a whole new strip on?

Sorry I meant to route them under and then straight back up through holes in the cabinet floor so they loop up and then back down into th spigots It might be a case of dry fitting the sink and seeing what space I'm left with

I'm going to be fitting the sink on Monday but I might need to rethink the plumbing underneath as space is going to be very tight. Has anyone got any suggestions on the best route to take the waste pipes from the appliances? I didn't know if it was best to drill out holes under the cabinet and...

Great thanks. Just to double check, DPM down, then insulation block, then screed?

I'm replacing a door and window with some double doors. I've been left with quite a deep gap though that seems just just be crumbling brick and dirt What would be the best way to fill it before self levelling. Could I just use concrete to fill the void and then self level over the top? Would I...

Thanks, I just took the boiler cover off in the end and disconnected it, then routed it through the joists

I've got a bit of an awkward one that I'm hoping someone might be able to help with? I've got this cable running from the boiler to a unit upstairs that I need to run through the joists so it's out of the way and hidden in the ceiling. At the minute it's sticking up from the RSJ so will be...

I'm trying to keep costs down as much as I can so I want to try and prep the room as much as I can ready for the plasterer to skim everything. What would be the best way to patch up these from where a walls been removed? Plasterboard to fill the gaps and then scrim the edges?

I'm currently trying to renovate the kitchen on a somewhat low budget! The first hurdle is the pipes coming from the boiler and them being mounted on the wall that's coming down. I've been quoted 1k to move the three pipes into the ceiling! I'm thinking about just leaving them in place and...

I'm looking at reconfiguring our kitchen space and taking a few walls down to make it a more useable space and I'm looking for some advice. We have an airing cupboard upstairs with a hot water tank in and pipes for the heating. Directly below in the kitchen is some kind of storage cupboard...

We're in the process of ripping out an old 60s gas fire. The idea is to plaster the brick and have it boxed out inside so there's an empty space for an electric stove. We'll then mount the TV above. There's currently sockets either side on the walls near the floor but I want all cables...
