    Quartz Work-top

    I also came to that conclusion but grabbing samples friday. Good point about antibacterial but had a tiled surface for last 5 years and not gone down with anything - and they are worst for harbouring nasties in the grout ! Thanks for a full answer though

    Any special gas requirements for a 6burner range ?

    thing is, the kitchen has been designed with a range, so i need to be sure it will work, before one is ordered and fitted, if not, i'll need a re-design and a re-think so need to know what is the "correct pressure" needed thanks

    Fitting Conservatory Roof Blinds

    At a price often much greater than supply only. In the case of hillarys, over four times the difference between ordering from their on-line DIY site (weblinds.com) or Hillarys direct (someone comes to your home to measure up, then they fit them) - so if it is truly "free fitting", their sales...

    Using a router to cut aluminium?

    I can only imagine it would tear/rip. Think a router is too fast. With a cheap bit, slowest speed and caution, I might be inclined to at least test the theory. How many and how long are these slots to be ? How accurate do they need to be ? What's it for ? additinal...

    gravel driveway please help

    what you've made is a "gravel-trap" what they use to stop 200mph formula 1 cars ! let alone your run-around ! As above, you need a solid base and just an inch or so of gravel. Not recommended but years ago I had the knock on the door "excuse me sir, we've been working in the area and...

    Granite worktops

    not too bad a guess and to be honest it kinda surprised me. There's little saving on doing any of it DIY so having them do the lot is the way to go. £2,229.72 for the stone £678.00 for cutting & polishing £615.00 for templating & installation £4,139.19 inc or £3,577.78 for topaz gold

    m8 Flexible tap connectors

    To be honest, the correct connectors MUST be available (somewhere) and I really don't fancy the hammer, araldite, new thread cutting or solder options :? Thanks

    m8 Flexible tap connectors

    No chance as it has a machined lip to take the 'o' ring and the threads are too close together so two 10mm threads would probably clash. dunno but was told "it aint british mate, get a british tap" useful :-\ Nope, got no tails. This tap "fell off the back of a basin" in a plumbers...
