Thanks SFK. Think I agree. Going to go for the stacking kit and stick it directly on top of washing machine. Thanks for advice. Steve.

Hi all Just bought a Bosch heat pump / condensor tumble dryer WTW87560GB. I really need to wall mount it due to space restrictions. Can't really find what seem to be appropriate brackets online. Is there anything anyone can recommend. Its depth is 590mm and weighs approx 55Kg. Any suggestions...

Hi Just dot and dabbing boards onto brick wall in garage. Looked at online tutorials and started mixing. The problem is the mix. Using Knauf adhesive and no instructions on mix ratio. Started mixing it and what a hard job. using a whisk with 18V cordless and the cordless struggled. Eventually...

Hi I am renovating my garage into a utility room with toilet. There's quite a few unsightly pipes and I want to box them. It seems boxing with ply and timber battens is popular. I was thinking about timber frame with plasterboard and skim. Is there a problem with this?? Any advice greatly...

Brilliant. Cheers for you help.

Thanks Roy C and others for help. Dot and Dab it is. Say hello to roughcaster for me if you see him. Was a great help 4 years ago!

Hi all, Have had read through the forum but can't find specific answer. What size (type) screws for fixing studs - 80mm ? 100mm etc Should I use pilot holes, if so what size bit. Should they be countersunk. Can I just get a self screwing screw without the need for pilots? Any help greatly...

How many frame fixers per board if I tried that?

Sorry sooey. I haven't been very clear. I still have the electric showers as I don't think things would improve much off the combi as the hot water output is only 7 litres/minute. I just thought that the electric showers worked better when gravity fed off the loft tank ( I could be wrong though...

Thanks Sooey. The Combi has reduced the gas consumption massively. Do you think it would of been better if fitted on the ground floor? Any ideas for improving my showers? Thanks Steve

Hi all. I recently had my loft tanks removed as I had a new boiler fitted in the loft and thought I would get rid of my electric showers for a Combi boiler heated shower. The WB 30 is capable of outputting 13 litres of hot water per minute but due to low mains pressure only does about 7. It has...
