Cheers. I'm in Milton Keynes. Will look on that site and find someone. I assume if they are interlinked then if one goes off sound will come out of all of them? Definitley want something in the kitchen and something in the garage as both kids bedrooms are above these areas.

I ripped of the skirtingboard in my bathroom when re-doing it so I can tile the floor and fit new skirting on top (which I think looks better). Anyway, I chucked the skirting in the skip and went to look for some new. I can't find anything that matches anywhere, tried TP, B & Q Wickes, all...

Given the news recently about that house fire I have got paranoid about the smoke detection in my house. We currently have 2 battery operated alarms. One in the downstairs hall, and one on the landing. I want to replace them with mains powered ones (with battery backup). I am not going...

I wasn't really answering my own question I was supplementing it with further information :D Thanks for the help!

Had another go at removing it. Will not budge. I guess probably the best thing to do is cut the connector off and fit an solvent weld an extension on and fit a new connector?

I have an existing waste with a pan connector on it. I need to extend it slightly and was going to use a pan extension but the pan connector will not budge. Can I put a length of 4 inch pipe into the existing pan connector and a new pan connector on the end of that? Or is best to rip out...

Thanks John, I didn't know that. Intersting thing is the garage told him that the part Renault sent them was a samll cylinder which went in the assembly. Wonder if they have just replaced the pump part and left the filter? It's going to Renault now anyway as the garage have given up.

I have a friend with an issue with their Megane. Noise coming from the fuel pump and loss of power. I said the pump needed replacing. They took it to a garage who diagnosed the same. They have replaced the pump and the noise has gone away but the power loss remains. The garage said they...

Buy yourself a mixer attachment for an electric drill. They cost about a fiver from B & Q, Topps etc. Best to use them with a varibale speed drill as you are supposed to mix the addy slowly. Not tiring at all then

Thanks for the replies. I though about a flexi watse but I had that they weren't recommended due to stuff gettting stuck in the ribs. I could do that yes, I was concerned because I wouldn't be able to see the pipes connecting. Worried that I will flush and get a shower downstairs.

I've made a slight boob redoing my bathroom. Without realising I bought a flush fit toilet and am having problems with the plumbing. I knew after I tiled the wastes would be at different heights and it was suggested on here to get an offset connector. That's fine but now the waste pipe...

Easier to tile first. Otherwise you will have to cut round the basin and loo. It will look better as well.

Thanks. The section has an internal and external corner so will have to plaster it. Never plastered before so nervous! It is right next to the new shower stall though so eyes will be drwan to my crap tiling rather than my plastering. Cheers.

I had to completely reomve a section as it was attached to a stud wall built by a creting. It is a long thin area. 2.4 metres by about 80 cm which is the whole area.

I've been watching a lot of Holmes on Homes and This Old House and have noticed that they never plaster after installing plasterboard. They tape the joins, sand, then prime and paint. Is their plasterboard different to ours? Main reason I ask is I have had to replace a section of...

Cheers for that. Makes me wonder where else they forgot to install it!

My house was built circa 1997 so should have cavity wall insulation. I am re-doing my bathroom currently and have reomved a piece of plaster board which form an interior window sill which has exposed the cavity. I can't really see the insulation in this cavity. About 8 inches from the...
