    What size tubular heater to keep black mould at bay?

    Hi All, Our bedroom wardrobe (fitted) backs on to an outside wall and one part of the wardrobe wall had black mould which I've now removed. I've installed a Dimplex 1ft 40W tubular heater at the bottom of the wardrobe. Is this sufficient to keep black mould at bay? Cheers Daz

    What to do with concrete pool base...ideas please

    Hi All, We have an octagonal concrete base around 4.5m in diameter left over from an above ground pool which I've recently taken down and it's not in the prettiest condition so we're looking for ideas that don't involve digging it up and getting rid of it, instead, covering it.

    Help needed with toilet cistern plumbing please

    I think, from doing a little research, that I'd need to fit a Cat Risk 5 backflow valve which isn't going to happen. I should also contact Amazon and all the other UK sellers of them in case they aren't aware. That includes B&Q who sell them too and make no mention of it on their website.
