Hi, I’m fitting a B&Q Santini / Gloss white slab kitchen, I have matching clad on end panels for the wall and base units. This is more in regard to the wall units as I have the 790mm type clad on panels that stick protrude above and below the wall cabinet so that you don’t have to mitre the...

Having a new boiler fitted to replace my old cast iron Ideal, I have non-barrier plastic Hep so am expecting to have system corrosion caused by the oxygen infusion. To minimize problems with the boiler should I go for a boiler with a stainless steel or cast aluminum heat exchanger? Looking at...
