Hi - I'm resurrecting this thread as some work has finally been done...and by a plumber, not me you'll be glad to know. ACLPlumbing, if you can offer further advice that would be great! Main original requirement was to increase the shower pressure - currently only the main bathroom is used...

Good points :-)

Thanks guys - good advice. Yes the bench isn't the sturdiest but I think I'll fix to the wall and look at cladding, thick MDF top for securing vice, upstand is good idea too. What are your thoughts on some vinyl flooring over the thick MDF top?

Hi all, I have just bought this workbench - http://r.ebay.com/IMC7CN for my garage. I am going to be using it for mechanical work and general DIY. I want to cover the work top with something that will suit. A couple of options I thought of: Metal covering Hard rubber Formica -...

Thank you so much for the instructions and advice, good of you to take the time!! :) There is certainly a fair bit of work like you say especially for my current skill level. I'll digest properly this evening and make a decision whether to do myself or seek an expert. I'll let you know...

Hi again, really do appreciate your advice and no offence at all :) I put my hands up, I'm an absolute novice in this field but trying to learn and not bodge up at same time. So I really need to decide on sticking with this pump or going for the dual as you suggest. In my old house a similar...

Hi, thanks very much for your quick response and advice!! Good job I checked :) Yes the pump is for all the hot water outlets. Ah yes the pump booklet does mention a recommendation to fit a flange to avoid air as you say. So if it needs to be connected to the top pipe and pump needs...

Thanks guys. I see what you mean about optical illusion - I went to look and had to download a spirit level app onto my phone to check it!! It is level :) Nice one for providing that link and good tip with the timer. So presumably that pump would be for hot and cold? Any...

Hi, Thanks for your reply. It's a bit daunting, having not done anything like this before but hopefully with the right planning can do it right!! :-) Could someone give some advice regarding measurements I have given - what size frame & door I should be looking at please? Also any links to...

Hi guys, Thanks for your replies. Firstly, here are a couple pictures in the airing cupboard: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9lxy8di4ifve8jj/2014-11-01%2012.25.29.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/mj0pcprybtu1fbk/2014-11-01%2012.25.50.jpg?dl=0 We have 2 bathrooms upstairs - en suite with...

Hi all, Our cold water pressure is ok but our hot pressure is pretty rubbish. I have decided to go down route of fitting pump, although not sure which one is needed - don't want to spend a fortune but at same time, would rather not be disappointed with the end result. Not sure if pump should...

Hi all, I've not done an awful lot of DIY but really want to do this, build some confidence and learn from it....just want to make sure I don't botch it! My double garage is detached from the house and already has a side door, which I understand is referred to as a personal door. It isn't...
