I think they are around 1972 prices. Thats when the house was built! Think I need a re-think, cheers.

Hi Everyone, I’m after some advice on house extensions. I’m looking at buying a house which would need extending and I’m after some ball park figures on how much it would cost. The extension would be 2 story of brick built construction with a tiled roof, built onto the side of a 1970’s...

After a few e-mails to the manufacturer I've hopefully resolved it so here's an update for anyone with the same problem in the future. Turned out that I had the hot and cold the wrong way round! The shower has little red and blue stickers on inputs but it turns out these where put on the...

Just tried that but the temperature control dial only has a 3/4 turn adjustment on it before it stops in each direction so that doesn't work :?:

Hi Everyone, I have a question regarding the shower I have just fitted and hope somebody can help. The shower I have is a Thermostatic Bar Mixer Shower and is the same as this http://www.plumbworld.co.uk/1673-15906 I have it connected to my hot and cold supply. The hot is supplied from my...

Don’t worry about where is has rubbed, that was my fault as I had something resting against it. I’m guessing that the paint will need to be quite flexible when it dries to stop it cracking/peeling off as the door bend and flexes onto the roller?

Please help, I have a roller shutter door on my garage in a rather dated 80’s style burn orange colour and I want to paint it white. The question is what paint should I be using, I’m guessing ‘normal’ paint will fake off when the door rolls up? I’ve tried talking to garage door...

Right then first question..... The floor I will be tiling onto is a chipboard suspended floor. Is this alright or do I need to be putting a layer of plywood over the top of it? The only problem if I do that is that the floor level won't match the adjacent rooms.

Does anyone have any idea of typical power ratings of single built in fan assisted electric ovens? The reason I ask is I have a IGNIS AKL887/IX coming with my kitchen and I’d rather just feed it from a 13A fused spur rather than a dedicated cooker supply. I’ve searched the net but can’t find...

Cheers for all the advice. Looks like I'm going looking at tiles tomorrow.....

OK then, say I do tile it. Should I be tiling the room first and then building the kitchen on top or should I be cutting the tiles around the kitchen?

When I say laminate I mean the laminaire that looks like tiles. The point is it is much easier to lay than 'proper' tiles.

I was a bit put off by tiles as a) I'm not very good at it b) They can be cold underfoot plus I thought tiles where more expensive than laminate?

I am about to install a new kitchen and laminate flooring. I appreciate that the conventional way of doing it would be to install the kitchen, then the floor and hide the expansion gap behind the plinth. The problem I have is that the kitchen I’ve bought has loads of vertical breaks in the...

UPDATE Over the weekend I removed all of my radiators one at a time, took them outside and blasted them through with a hose pipe, this seemed to remove a lot of sludge from the system. While I had the radiator with the blocked pipe off I opened the valve to see how much flow came out of the...
