Seems like you've got the same problem as me. I'm trying a dehumidifier and it removes 5 litres every three days yet it is still damp in the loft. My loft is very low - army crawl required within loft space. We have our house quite hot most of the time - do you think that the existing (probably...

Steve. you can get away with just unscrewing the body and replacing them. The only concern is whether the bodies will match - 1960's copper will be in imperial measurements 3/4" and todays will be in metric 22mm. Turn off the supply to you house from the stop-cock located outside your...

Hi, I am wanting to fit a Bath/shower mixer tap to my current bath. I have been warned about water pressure on the supply to the taps - the cold water feed is mains pressure and the HW is from a combi boiler (and the pressure is much less). Is there anything I need to take into consideration...

ok here it is 1) you can decorate plaster board wiyhou skimming by using tape then covering it with a jointing compound. But the plaster board must be tapered edge. 2) also before painting you musy apply a dry wall primer BUT FOR THE ULTIMATE FINISH SKIM THE CEILING THEN PAINT.

There is an isolation switch in the unit, and I have testing equipment to check for live wires before proceeding.

excellent,,,, thanks for the help

Thanks for the reply AttM. Yeah that is what I am doing just now but the cable dangling down somewhat annoys me. I dont like the sound of "if's" so I might scrap the original idea. Would forgeting about the sockets and tapping into the upstairs lighting circuit be a better option and just add...

I had cherry UPVC glazing installed three years ago by a well known firm. The windows are now fading from the cherry colour towards white. Has anyone else had this problem ? and if so what was the solution ?
