    Hammerite direct to rust

    Cheers mate, can't believe the state of them. I might get a generic metal paint and roller it on, see if that helps, should have bought the cheap stuff in the beginning

    Hammerite direct to rust

    Nope, metal. That's why I can't understand the state of it, if it was cheap paid I'd understand but this is probably one of the most expensive. Not impressed

    Hammerite direct to rust

    Would normal gloss go on this to make it better? So disappointed with this product as not cheap. Thank you

    Hammerite direct to rust

    Cheers guys, there was no rust it was just weathered, assumed it would be ok and all that screwfix had in, would the "normal" satin paint sit ok on top of this? Not happy tho

    Hammerite direct to rust

    Hi, my galvanised gates needed freshening up so I put this stuff on. Looks ok on the bars, but on the bottom panels you can see every brush stroke, looks worse than before. Gave it a light stir as directed, but the top of the paint maintained a sparkly look, just doesn't look right, is this the...

    Removing tile adhesive

    I have taken the wall tiles off and wondering best way to get the adhesive off the wall as she doesn't want tiles as high up the wall as previous ones? Don't know whether to get an electric sander or wall scraper (wallpaper)? Thank you

    Built in double oven on plug

    In the grand scheme of things, when you go to the expense of building an extension twice the size of the original house and you are set to make over £100k profit, would the expense of a cooker cable and switch break the bank, that was my point.

    Built in double oven on plug

    Thanks guys for your advice. Yes, the original house was a 2 up 2 down, so renovated to add a further 2 bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen, entrance hall and downstairs wc which more than doubled the footprint. Shower is on combi boiler, just can't understand why there's no cooker point as it...

    Built in double oven on plug

    No, but I might ring him to see if he can remember if he fitted 1 or not. There is a 40A in the consumer unit, but it doesn't seem to turn anything off when I switch it off!! Behind the oven there is a single socket, and a gas hob above. When I turn the 32A fuse off, all the kitchen sockets...

    Built in double oven on plug

    Wouldn't surprise me, it is a double extension built onto an old house, and the electrics astonish me, switch 1 fuse off and some lights downstairs and upstairs go off, all over the place, there is a certificate, but I'm not impressed!!

    Built in double oven on plug

    There is a 40 amp fuse in the consumer unit, I turned it off but it didn't seem to affect anything in the kitchen. The trouble is although the house was built just 12 months ago, there are no labels on the consumer unit indicating which fuse does what!!

    Built in double oven on plug

    Just checked it and it seems like all the sockets in the kitchen are on this circuit. All we use is kettle, toaster, fridge/freezer, washing machine, oven and the combi boiler is in there too. The only things on continuously are fridge freezer and combi boiler, which I assume draw a small amount...

    Built in double oven on plug

    The house I moved into for some reason hasn't got a red switch for the cooker as it's a small built under 1. We now want a double built in oven, but all the ones we see mention they have to be hard wired. I have checked the consumer unit and the circuit I am looking at has a B32 fuse on it...

    RADIATOR NOT HEATING

    Thank you. I will try and balance them, they have been like this since I moved in. The rad has a sticker reading inlet on the left hand side, which is also the side where the hottest pipe is, so can I assume it's fitted correctly? Thank you for taking the time to help.

    RADIATOR NOT HEATING

    I have 2 tower radiators in the living room, 1 is boiling, the other rarely gets luke warm. I have drained it and refilled it, bled the whole system, yet it still fails to heat. The inlet pipe us really hot, yet the return pipe is cool. I have turned all rads off in house, including both valves...

    Unable to remove euro cylinder - no screw

    Thank you- I did think that but didn't want to hear a snapping sound! As I am facing the front of the door, do I twist towards me or twist it away?

    Unable to remove euro cylinder - no screw

    Thanks very much, i took the screws out, the top was loose but middle and bottom wouldn't budge, didn't want to force it! I could see what looked like metal brackets at the side but as I said, didn't want to force and break it. I assume this door is safe as I did manage to change the other lock...
