Thanks all. I found a shop 10 miles away that sells BAL. I got a bag for £44. I am tiling 6 square meters and BAL says it will do up to 6 square meters so if I run out I'm not paying another £44 just for a few cuts. I will get the granfix and see what I think of it. Its just over £20 a bag...

I have nowhere near me that sells Bal rapidfix flexi. To order 1 20kg bag from Trades-Direct will cost me £50 with VAT and delivery. My local tiling store sells a Granfix rapid setting flexible adhesive for porcelin tiles for £21 for a 20kg bag. Anyone used this or would advise against it...

Thanks. Is there anything I can do to the black tar adhesive to help the Bal flexi stick or will it be ok?

Hello, I am going to lay 400mm by 400mm ceramic tiles over some vinyl tiles in my kitchen. Half of the vinyl tiles have been painted with that black tar like adhesive as there was some more flooring glued to the top. All the tiles are sound. I was thinking of using a BAL flexible adhesive...

I will not be able to get it fixed by the weekend. If it is what you think. Is it OK to drive I'm driving about 120 miles away tomorrow morning.

Thanks. That is what I have done.

My Ford Focus TDCI 2005 that I have had from new started making a funny noise yesterday. When I put my foot down to accelerate in any gear I can hear the sound of air blowing from the dashboard area? Its not the blowers or aircon. I turned them off. It sounds like a pressure leak or...

Thanks for that. I am fitting the cabinet next to the washing machine at the moment. How much larger than the machine would you leave the gap? I was thinking 10mm max to give 5mm either side of the machine!

They could be I suppose! How do you secure the machine to the units either side? or does it just slide in? Wont it vibrate out of position?

Hi. Yes, it is a built in washing machine with a door covering it.

I am having a go at fitting my own kitchen. I am about to fit a built in Washing machine. Am I right in thinking that I just leave a 600mm gap between 2 units for the washing machine to slot in? And the door attaches to the washing machine! The fitted washing machine comes with these...

Just to let you know. I emptied a bucket of water from each pipe and on the second pipe a large amount of air spluttered out. It now works fine. Thanks for all your help.

It might go back to iron or plastic somewhere but this bit is copper. its gone all green.

No. After fitting the kitchen I am tiling under the units for a few inches before fitting the plinths over the tiles.

Fitting a new kitchen and I can see that the copper water supply pipe before the stop tap is travelling through cement and has a green copper oxide residue on the outside. Should I be worried about this?

the new glass is now fitted and secured by the 4 clips. Does it need testing for air tightness/fumes or anything?

I am fitting a kitchen and will tile the floor afterwards before putting the plinths on. I can see a problem approaching and wonder what others have done in the past. The end panels on the kitchen come out further than the plinths and go down to the floor. So how do you tile around or...
