Hi all Our kids decided to draw on our oak table and whilst removing with some detergent we`ve removed some of the colour stain. We want to sell the table and just wondered what is the best way of fixing it, would rather not have to rubbed down the whole table. Any ideas, thanks..

thanks for the responses. Think we resolved the issues with a meeting. I`m currently holding back money until they complete certain works in stages. Which oddly enough means they actually seem to be turning up to do jobs.

Hey all We've come across some porcelain cladding 1500mm X 1000mm X 5mm that we are interested in using as a splash back in our kitchen wall, which is approx 2400mm X 680mm. We need 3 sockets cut in as well. Just wondering if this sounds like a viable option. Just concerned about the cuts...

My concern is more the tiled shower room where they used the slc to bring up the level in half of the room and put the electric underfloor heating in there aswell. Think it needs to be connected up and see what happens. I just wonder what will happen in the depths of winter when its going from...

Hi its SEALOCRETE SEALOFLOR https://www.buildbase.co.uk/link/1/3000271_31459_t.pdf Taping it seems ok, maybe where the cracks join it sounds a bit noisier. Thanks

ok thanks, not what i was wanting to hear. It also goes under our newly tiled shower room. Will it have to come up? or is there a chance it maybe ok. I can only see things are going to get worse when the underfloor heating is on.

Hi We had self leveling compound laid about a week ago by our builders in our shower room and through to our kitchen/diner, i`ve been cleaning today and i`ve noticed cracking (5 places) and breaking at the edges near the patio doors. It was laid onto plywood boards (in the kitchen area) ...

ok hows this idea. part shelf on the floor to give some height for the closing doors. Then a stacking unit like this for the washer / dryer. I`ve given 4cm to the side of the washing/dryer to allow access. Plenty of room at back for waste/water and electrics...

Thanks for all the replies, those are great. Yes now I think about it on the floor wouldve been better, and yes I`ve seen a universal stacking shelf that even has a pull out shelf for putting the clothes basket on. I did give about 5cm space to the sides of the washing machine/dryer so it could...

Hi all, We`re wanting to add a utility cupboard to an alcove down stairs thats about 1.3m wide for washing machine/dryer and cleaning items. This is the design i`ve come up with. Anyone care to glance over it and see if it would work? I`m going to use cut up kitchen end panels and doors from...

hi all we`ve had a wetroom shower tray installed , the tile onto type. the room had a cement screed by the builders that was about 10mm higher than than the shower tray and with the shower tray incline towards the drain there is now a good 25mm+ from the side to the drain. So now the tiler...

Id say probably both, heat to touch and heat the rooms. We have a couple of friends who both have had underfloor heating put in with wood flooring and they both said its great. Actually had to turn it down as it was warming up too much. But theirs is around the 12-14mm depth. So am just...

Hi , thanks for the replies. As someone asked its electric underfloor heating and a ply floor covering. I think will probably go for something around 12mm thick engineered board, at least then it will be within the general UFH manufacturers guide lines. Would rather not have tiled or vinyl...

Hi All We`ve found some engineered wood flooring 20mm thick with a 6mm wear layer that we like for our downstairs, and i`m reading conflicting statements about how well it works with underfloor heating. The board manufacturer states its compatible, with UFH but some sites say the boards should...

ok thanks. yeah been reading about them. Think we will try and remove the chimney lintel to get the ducting outside.

Hey All We`re having a new kitchen installed. We intended to have a ducted in-ceiling extractor above the island but when the builders ripped out the ceiling they found that there was an old chimney and steels in the outer wall where the extrator ducting wouldve run and they can cut through the...

Thanks, yeah i was looking at one that was about £350 from hudson reed, hoping that is a decent brand/price.

Hey all, Anyone installed something like these towel panels, wondered how they are in practice. Installation and use? Its to be used in an unvented megaflow system. Thanks

Thanks, I`ve come across a 1600x800 corner type bath, its just slightly curved on the outside edge. It has a straight shower screen so thats easy to replace in the future which is my main concern. It does hold 230 litres mind, we are going to install a megaflow boiler and a 210 litre cylinder so...

Hey All, Happy new year! We`re building a new bathroom and we`re considering a whirlpool bath with shower. Am considering an P or L shaped. I`m concerned that a few years down the line the shower screen will leak or someone will crack the side panel and will be a right pain to find a...
