Not sure about age or service history but I was considering a pressure equalising valve like this http://www.plumbingsuppliesandfittings.co.uk/Water_pressure_equalising_valve--product--80.html if there was any discernible pressure difference between the hot and cold water supply (which I think...

From my looking at CLS, MDF, T&G flooring, etc. they come out ahead of Wickes when you factor in delivery and the fact that hey can and will cut sheeting for you. Delivered to site for free starting at £250 incl VAT can't be bad when Wickes want £30 or so, an extra 12% or thereabouts. Wickes...

I need a circular saw with fine enough teeth to cut up some MDF and other lumber fairly neatly and wondered if anyone has come across a half way decent one. This job and then occasional use only.

I have a concrete floor and I want to put up some stud partitions. I would like to avoid screwing the sole plate into the concrete. One option I was think of was to lay timber joists with 18mm T&G chipboard as a floating floor and then nail the studwork into that. Another option I saw was...
