Thanks, I will do that today. Doesn't the fact that there are paint stains on the pipe under the sink that goes into the ground mean that the hole is not sealed properly? Or does there need to be some breathing room there? Thanks.

Hello. I hope you're all keeping safe and well. We hired a decorator to plaster the ceilings of our new house and do some painting. We don't have an outside tap so he used our kitchen sink. I have noticed that the kitchen sink waste overflows into the garden (only one wall between them)...

All done and working. I used the flex that came with the oven. Thank you so much for your help. I can't thank you guys enough. Yes, I only use two rings at a time, but only God knows how many rings the previous occupants used (or they replaced a blown plug just before putting the house on the...

Yes of course:

OK, looking at the circuit board, i believe it is 32A. Please see the photos. The labelling is done by myself. I'm not really sure what the leftmost fuse is for. I did have a previous immersion tank boiler which I got replaced with a combi boiler last year, but the leftmost fuse does not...

I'm not sure about the circuit board fuse, I'll take a look. I did think that 5.8 is way too much for the hob. Crazy. Thanks for the link. I will update

Hello. I hope you're all keeping safe and well. I have bought a replacement built in oven in my new house without realising not all ovens are built equally. This was my old oven (and current hob) https://www.beko.co.uk/built-in-fan-oven-and-ceramic-hob-package-qsf212x The new oven is rated...

That would be amazing. I just put the valve on myself but haven't screwed it in. Let me find a youtube video on how to use a bending spring.

I haven't permanently drilled the bracket in. The bracket and its hangers are very forgiving, and the inlet pipe has some up/down movement so I am ok there too.

Can I buy a pipe bender and bend it in-situ?

I've tried the first suggestion. I can't get any more because the movement is now blocked by the floorboards, and I don't want to attempt keyhole surgery in case I hit the pipe. I'm happy to do the second suggestion if that is safe for the radiator pipe. Can you advise please?

Yeah, I did see that haha, I fitted it the short way. The other way will come out more.

Thanks. Pics attached. How do I alter the pipe? Is it ok for me to just bend them using a pipe bender?

Hi all. I have just replaced an upstairs single wall radiator with a double wall radiator (for more heat) but I did not consider the inlets. I do not have access to the pipes as they come out of the floorboards and are then covered with laminate. There is a little give but not enough to...

I'm definitely gonna have two rails, with shorter (and rarely worn) items at the top, even if I need a stool to get to them. How about a curved rail so it only goes along the back wall and the side wall then? I mean a pole with a 90 degree angle (i'd rather a really wide 90 degree angle, not a...

hmm, I can't visualise it, can I have a diagram pretty please? Thanks!

Ah man. That is disappointing, I wanted to use the space as efficiently as possible.

It was this one https://www.wickes.co.uk/Setcrete-Latex-Floor-Levelling-Compound---20kg/p/133779 instructions state that floor must be primed. It wasn't. I wish I never gave the builder free reign. Am I supposed to second-guess his actions and doubt him when he claims he has "17 years...

Ok. The compound was latex levelling compound. Should I now pull up all the floor levelling compound that is already there and lay down ardex NA? Sorry, this is all new to me.

I thought I uploaded a photo. I have uploaded it now, thank you. Please see the photo. What do you think? If there is no "off the shelf" solution then I may have to just get a few straights.
