Hi, I'm doing a complete refurb on my bathroom and was wondering about boarding the floor prior to tiling. Floor is currently floorboards and is a little uneven. I'm also considering electric UFH but want to minimise any increase in floor height. So... would 6mm Marmox multiboard be OK...

Thanks John. Good info

Thanks both.. Would an airbrick vent without flaps cause me issues with wind blowing back into the ducting?

I'm about to start fitting my new kitchen and am planning on venting the extractor outside. Problem is the house is bulletproof ! It's a 1950's semi built from 'Newport Star' Engineering bricks. The electrician did offer to core a hole to fit the vent but now knowing the difficulties of...

Thanks Ryler. Loving the domino joints.. Now I need to find someone capable of doing that !

Hi all, Looking for advice for a waterfall worktop - where the worktop continues down to the floor. Planning on having Oak on the kitchen island and on one end having it 'waterfall' down to the floor. There will be no other support on this end apart from the vertical worktop as it's a sort of...

As a landlord when replacing a Gas Hob does it need to have FSD's? The property is just a standard dwelling and NOT a HMO or flat. All the info I can find suggests it's only a requirement on HMO's & flats although I just called the HSE gas safety line and was told that all new/replacement hob...

Thanks both.

The existing gas hob in a property I rent out requires replacement. Do I have to comply with the current regulations regarding clearances? When i have had the landlord Safety Check done in the past it has been noted that the clearances are NTCS but is still signed off. If it needs to be to...

Thanks.

Here's a pic of the timer... Bizarrely after knocking off the power for a while again and turning it back on it is working again ! Will be good to know how to bypass is though as its only a matter of time.... Thanks

Can I temporarily bypass the timer module so i can get the heating working?

Just my luck! Yeah I tried the reset button but no joy. Was thinking of replacing it with one of these anyway plus I'll benefit from having a room thermostat...

Hi all, Got a problem with my Ferroli Modena 102. It was working fine until I switched the mains power off to carry out some electrical work. Turning the power back on and the timer module shows 'F02' on the display and none of the buttons seem to work. To be honest the timer has been a bit...

Don't think I'm that lucky mate... The cistern is definitely not screwed to the wall so I'm guessing it must bolt to the pan with fasteners from the inside of the cistern. I'm hoping there's a flexible hole from the underside of the cistern to the water inlet but looking at this photo I took it...

Was planning on a varnished newel. Thanks for the tip though..

Lookin to rreplacethe flush and fill valves on a toilet similar to this... http://www.victorianplumbing.co.uk/premier-ambrose-short-projection-toilet-with-soft-close-seat.aspx As they're noisy and slow filling... Question is how the hell do I access the underside of the cistern to remove...

Hi all, I posted this in the joinery forum but didn't have any luck... So here goes.... I've looking to add a newel, spindles and handrail to a house I've just bought and am looking for a bit of advice. Basically the newel etc have been removed in the past leaving the staircase open...

Hi all, I've looking to add a newel, spindles and handrail to a house I've just bought and am looking for a bit of advice. Basically the newel etc have been removed in the past leaving the staircase open to the living room on one side (wall on the other side). It's a closed string type of...

Thanks both - I ended up doing it on Saturday. I went with wrapping the pipes in duct tape prior to cementing them in. The wall is dot & dab but after cutting the channel out it was quite poorly supported so cementing them in had added a bit of rigidity.
