Thanks, but still interested in the idea. actually been looking around at these wisqo lights http://amzn.to/2gT5cFe . Seem to have decent reviews and uk links, even their install video is from the uk. I could fill my house with them for about £250. I`d probably save £500 from not having all the...

Hey all, The house we own requires a rewire and i`m wondering if its worthwile using wireless controlled ceiling lights. something like these http://amzn.to/2yDxKMy Thinking it would probably save a bit of money not having to rewire all the light switches in the house. Anyone tried something...

Thanks SFK, some helpful stuff there. I`m wondering whether a wetroom style would work with this, so avoiding a tray and door. something like this must be around the size we`re looking at?

Thanks, yeah was thinking of going to try out some shower trays. Blagard, the door would be outward opening for this bathroom, or maybe a sliding door pocket door. thanks

Hi All, We have recently moved into a new house that has an outside toilet and a larder next to the kitchen. We are thinking of taking out the corner of the garage to open up the kitchen into a large rectangle and then turning the toilet 180 degrees and turning the area into a small wetroom...

thanks, i`ve bought some dark gap filler thats in a sealant gun so hopefully can just fill the gaps.

Hi all, recently moved into a house that has a draughty front door through the gaps in the timbers, see photo. Any suggestions on what product to use to fill these gaps? Thanks alot Paul

Thanks, will give the viakal ago and if that doesnt shift it , i`ll try the kilrock.

Hey All, After 9 years of installation our concealed toilet cistern decided to continually run water down the pan. I removed the cover and reset the drop down plunger but everything looked a bit limescaled and gunged up. Any recommendations of what is best to clean it up with? I sprayed a load...

Hey all We have some teak furniture which has been painted (by our tenants grrrr) and I'd like to restore it back to its original wood appearance. It's flaking as it is so it maybe that the jet wash removes most of it but wondered if there was any of way of doing it. Also im guessing it'll need...

Thanks. Well the idea was to put in an kitchen island so making the kitchen more rectangular would help that. Taking out the toilet and cupboard would just create a longer galley kitchen which we were trying to move away from. Was sort of hoping that doing the garage conversion would be a...

thanks, like that idea. But the price, really that much? We had a quote for an 10x2m extension out the back for £40k

Hey All, We`re considering extending the kitchen and was wondering if a cheaper option than going into the garden/patio would be to take part of the garage. Anyone hazard a guess of whats involved , i`m assuming as the garage wall is load baring to the floor above it would need some RSJ`s for...

yeah, thats probably why it only lasted a year and a half. i`ll get one anyway and see if I can swap the cartridges, otherwise i`ll replace the whole thing. thanks for the help

actually think i found the whole thermostat shower valve on ebay for £27. it has the same decals on it but slightly updated appearance and the attachment is on the bottom not the top. Maybe i`ll ask them if they sell the cartridge separate. or like you say just get a whole new mixer.

No , nothing written on it. Think its probably just some cheap chinese import. I noticed there is a kind of grub screw underneath the thermostat side. So i`m guessing its just undo that and a philips screw on the end behind the cover to remove the cartridge.

I`ve touched the inlet pipes when its been running and they are around the correct way. Main question is if it is the cartridge, can I just take it out and take it down the plumbers merchant or is it more complicated than that, ie finding the make and model of the shower thermostat first?

Was installed about a year and a half ago. ta

Sure, its very similar to this.. havent removed the cartridge as i didnt want to do anything until I know i can get a replacement

hi all We have a thermostat shower in our shower room the type that has the mixer exposed in a long chrome barrel , power on the left and temperature control on the right. It is very sensitive to movement of the temperature control, it goes hot to freezing with mm of movement. I'm assuming the...
