Hi All, My son's radiator is either on full pelt or off. If he turns the rad stat off the rad cools down but even if he clicks the stat up to 1 or 2 the rad is burning hot. Anything I should look at first? Cheers Daz

It was the Micromark one...well done...shame not available anymore!

Hi All, Years ago, probably 25 years ago, I had a mains extension lead (8 gang or so) they didn't use the standard UK mains plug. Instead, you cut that off and replaced it with a plug which was much smaller. It was neat and compact. Does anyone know if something exists like this today? Cheers Daz

Thanks for the replies. I've drawn a sketch (not to scale) of how this plank should look but am unsure, even if I manage to make it, how I'd physically get it in! What do you guys think?

Hi All, Attached is a picture showing the space for the end of row laminate plank and the stair post with two returns. I've undercut the post by about 20mm to hide the laminate under but cannot figure out how to cut the plank. Any help would be really appreciated. Cheers Daz

yes, saw them, but thought the price was very high. Maybe I should readjust my expectations but £32.75 excluding delivery for a 4.2m length of primed MDF skirting seems a lot of money to me.

plus neither of them have primed MDF 25mm thick.

yes, very expensive as I don't have an account with either of them.

anyone?

Hi All, I'm based in London and am looking for recommendations for where to buy 4.2m 25mm x 170mm high (approx) primed MDF skirting boards. Seems lots of suppliers online but very expensive. If anyone could recommend a supplier that would be great. Cheers Daz

can I use Polyfilla? It's such a thin difference I was worried that Polyfilla would pull out when sanding.

Hi All, A while ago we had a leak from the bathroom which is directly above the kitchen. After it dried out I scraped the flaky paint off the affected areas and used Zinsser BIN on it. Now I'm left with a slightly different level between the good ceiling paint and where I've scraped the damaged...

brilliant. For such a small job can I use my filler knife to smooth it out?

Great. Now just need to find somewhere who has it available for delivery!

Thanks again. What product would I use to cover the box? Cement or something similar I assume but could do with some advice please.

Thanks Johnny. Sounds like a good plan. I'll order some 5mm thick plywood from Wickes and build a 'box' which I'll screw / glue to the floorboards. Would there be any need to fill with foam?

A plasterer I'm not but I'll give something a go. Would be a lot easier for me to replace with new skirting boards!

What about expanding foam. Could I use that? My question about plaster is whether I should use mortar or something else?

Thanks. One of my concerns is that you can see the floorboards go right inside the gaps too. Unfortunately, I don't have any scrap bit of plasterboard and don't fancy buying a whole sheet. What would I use to plaster over the holes once I've put a brick or two inside?

Hi All, Below are some images of our dining room wall where all the skirting board has been removed as it is not wanted. This has left two large gaps either side of the chimney breast which I'd like to repair. The larger gap is approx. 30cm wide, 10cm deep, 8cm high. We want to wallpaper over...
