Hi All,I am almost ready to tile my bathroom and have coated walls in diluted pva (as stated on the tub of paste,but read a few posts that totally go against the pva as it drops the tiles off after six months!). I wonder if that is for all plaster walls or just for ply board,(which I have...

Hi All I am slowly doing out my bathroom,ceilings done and the lights ,working my way round ! I have a water heater tank in the corner and would like some fancy new cupboard with upper shelving to hide it and store towels in ect above. There is no way I am capable of that , so wonder if there is...

lovely Jubbley :D Makes you think though, that if they really were looking out for the safety aspects of householders ,they would`nt charge an arm and a leg to check out the work, and get it certified , all they have made people do is "twist a bit" to get around the regulations! A bit like the...

people have got downlights and as Im (trying) to do my bathroom they look good. but other people have had a false ceiling fitted which I dont want to do. How do I go about removing the ceiling rose up into the loft to be wired on to do and I need to make or buy a special junction box...

yes I get you ,If I change the tank the ch water still needs somewhere to go as the boiler is linked to the primatic,without the primatic and with a combi installed no such problem.

cheers chris, it is a wacky system though init!! was this out before the average combi boiler and if i did just change the emmersion heater and keep the boiler would that be ok? or would I have to get a new boiler and an emmersion heater or are they both linked to the primatic set up? I...
