Sounds like the best method would be to remove as much as possible i totally agree. In my kitchen there is an internal stop valve in the kitchen on the wall (not under the sink) I do recall trying to turn this once before and couldn't. I will have another look at this over the weekend and see...

Hi Turning my old kitchen into an office at the moment and want to future proof it as much as possible. I have a few feeds for washing machine/dishwasher and taps etc, all of which have an isolating valve before them. These are all turned off so no water is coming out but the plan at the...

I'll have a look at those, they look interesting

I do have a gas line but no flue

What i am going to do is remove the top layer of floor tiles. I believe that the kitchen itself is part floor boards part concrete. Once i have removed the tiles i will put some plastic down and see if there is any water after a couple of days. I might take up one of the floor boards to see how...

Quick note on this, existing floor is part tiled on top of tiles. I guess that when the house was originally built it was a coal store or a pantry or something (1930s). Would it be better to remove all of the tiles (both skins) and remove the concrete and joist it up to allow ventilation etc? or...

Hi all Looking for a way forward. I am currently looking at converting my old kitchen into an office and need a heating solution, looks like a solid concrete floor so not much chance of being able to install a radiator in there without it becoming a real pain. So, radiator is out. Underfloor...

Hi All Just finished building new extension and now has kitchen in it so i need to decommission the existing kitchen and turn into an office. I have removed all of the appliances and units etc and now am left with a shell. There is quite a bit of work to do in there as it would appear that...

Trimmed it all in, trimmer just arrived but I ordered the 110v version so thats going back grrr

I have offered it up and it looks to need around 6mm off of the handle side from the bottom to about just over a third of the way up

ok so what we are saying here is work out where it is larger than the doorway. I have a 1800mm level and it does look like its just a few mm out in places. When we say offer the door up I guess you mean put the door against the opening and draw a line on the inside of the door to see what is it...

Hi I have a 686mm door which I need to hang. Just measured the frame size and it is not entirely square it is 690mm at the top and 691mm a bit further down and then ends at 686mm at the bottom. Shall I just take a few mm off of the entire length, I'm not entirely sure which side it is out, to...

Yes and yes

Aaaah ok So mine is 165 in diameter so half that is 82.5 plus half of 12.7 is 6.35 82.5 plus 6.35 is 88.85 lets say 89mm away from the line I want to cut and use a baton not guide bush

I have a 40mm worktop I want to cut. I have drawn a line where I want the cut to be made. What is the measurement for working out where it will actually cut? I will be using a 30mm sleeve so I am guessing that that I need to put the router 15mm away from the line and then half the radius of the...

Its one that can be adjusted to the sink so should be relatively straightforward

OK i get it now, i have the guide bushes and they will fit into the jig (30mm and 16mm), with them on, i just do multiple passes of the worktop, gradually lowering the bit with each pass, 10mm per pass maybe? Regarding the drip groove, there is no manufacturer instructions on it, its a 6mm wide...

Hi All Getting a 40mm Oak worktop delivered on Saturday and i will need to cut this down and install an opening for a 800mm butler sink. I am going to get hold of a butler sink template but not too sure which bits to purchase for the router. According to the spec, for the recess (which i am...

I probably could tbh, i do have one, but the bit at the front is pretty much where i would want to support it from.

Hi I bought a 800mm wide butler sink and have 'modified' and Ikea unit to support it. I basically reduced the height and cut out a couple of bits out of the sides and inserted a 40mmx120mm timber to support the back and on the front used some spare colored plinth i had lying around. These are...
