Hi guys. We had some work done on our house a couple of years ago, which included a bigger cold water tank in the loft, moving the hot water tank downstairs into the newly created utility room and the installation of a big shower pump to feed 2 showers also installed with hot water tank. The...

Hi Guys, I am starting to cost up how much I need to get rid of my old sheds and get a nice new Log Cabin in my garden. When we bought the house a couple of years ago, we knew we would need something bigger as we did not have a garage, so this has always been the master plan. I am looking at a...

Hi guys. We are getting our bedroom floor carpeted in the next month in our 30's house, and one of the things I wanted to do was to fix the squeeking and movement before the carpet gets put in. For some reason it is the only room that does not have floorboards but Chipboard. As I was going to...

Just the power head. I don't think it is the 3 port valve itself. I think the wiring could be wrong. Thanks. Nick

Hi guys. Before Xmas I had a bunch of work done on our heating system. One of the things we had fixed was a new Honeywell 3 port valve. Since we had it installed, in the mid position (heating and hot water) it ticks / clicked once evey second or so. Heating and hot water is working fine. I...

Hi all, I am looking to get some solar reflective film to put on our glass conservatory roof. I have contacted sun x and the quote so far is coming in at about £670 inc installation and vat for their basic dark silver film. This is a pretty big conservatory (5m x4m ish) Has anyone got...

I might look at waxing too. We have oak floorboards downstairs and they look nice. I am sure they are waxed. Thanks. Nick

Calm down everyone. This issue with chipboard is that it is ugly. If you wanted exposed floorboards like myself and Richard, chipboard is not good. If you have carpets, then yes it is fine. I have had varnished floorboard in my last 3,houses, and yes they door get scuffed and scraped. In my...

Thanks Richard. I have seen floorboards cut from joists for sale and not too sure what that was about. when I lay them, do I butt them up tight together? Is the gap between floorboards due to shrinking then?? Thanks. Nick

Sorry it was the little wenlock. I ordered that myself.

He is talking about the chipboard in the bedroom. The stairs is another question. I am going to cost up how much new floorboards are vs reclaimed floorboards. At the end of the day, it is gonna cost the same as nice carpet... I am hoping to do the floor for about £25 a Meter

As promised here are some pictures of the stairs. You can see the light coming through on the first 2. With the next 2 pics you can see where to bar has broken at the end. I was thinking of putting a piece of wood from the floor to the broken bar to hold it up. Is this what I should do, or...

Hey guys. We have got a company coming next week to fit our stove (Aga wenlock classic). They are coming in to remove old gas stove and fireplace, line and insulate chimney with a multi fuel liner, install stove, put in slate hearth and oak beam mantle and make good the opening with...

Thanks guys. I was hoping I could incorporate some of the rubble into the base so I wouldn't need to get rid of it. I am going to have a good look tonight and see what I can do. Thanks. Nick

Hi All, We have just bought a house which has a 3x3m shed that is on a concrete base. I want to knock this down and put on a 5x4m log cabin workshop. I was told that I can expand the pre existing base to cover the new required size. Is this something that is pretty simple to do? I am aware...
