Hi, A number of my interior doors when closed seem to have a lot of 'give' in them. When I hold the handle of the closed door and pull and push, it moves quite a bit backward and forward. What is the cause of this please?

Hi, I have a new bath which has raw cast iron feet on it. I have read somewhere on the internet that they need to be treated with something to stop them rusting but I can't remember what it was. I have tried googling but cannot find anything now and can't remember the web page. Can anyone...

Hi, It's electric

Hi, I am having underfloor heating put in in my bathroom - I am getting insulation boards to put on the concrete floor. I have a free standing bath - do I have to put the insulation boards under this as well?, even though there will be no underfloor heating there, just to ensure I have a...

Hi, The sub floor is concrete I don't know how to describe how uneven the sub floor is really - even in some places and some places a few mm uneven - at a guess 5 - 7mm deviation at worst parts.

Hi, Please can anyone tell me what underlay I need to buy to fit a solid wood floor? and do I only need to fit underlay or another barrier? Also will this underlay take out the uneveness in the floor? The floor is not level in some places.

I have read about flushing but am unsure exactly what it is - do you have to do it with a completely new system? Thanks

Hi Agile, The plumber not responding is nothing to do with that - I know why he isn't responding as I know him very well- but yes, I am a cheapskate, because I have to be, at the end of the day you pay your money you make your choice - but I don't know why you are worrying about that anyway. If...

Hi, My plasterer has just done a couple of rooms in my house and has done a good job (I think) but in the bathroom we removed the skirting boards prior to plastering and didn't think to tell him we wanted this part of the room plastered as well we just assumed he would do it but he hasn't...

Hi, I have seen an exterior back door in wickes that fits the opening to my door. It is an aluminium door that says it needs fitting into a timber frame (although it is already in an aluminium frame). I am having trouble working out exactly what this means. :? Do I have to buy a timber...

Thats why I wanted to get it as he will probably get it at plumbers merchants and I can get it cheaper online. If anybody can recommend an amount so that he can get a nice amount of work done I would be grateful. Also, is it usual practice to use 22mm and 15mm together? i.e. will he need...

he offered to get it or said I can get it so I said he can get it but I want to get it myself now and can't get hold of him. Didn't ask how much cause I thought he was getting it. Really need to get plumbing done urgently so want to order it asap. So I just want to get enough so that he can...

The central heating packs from Mr central heating come with 60m of 15mm tubing and 30m of 22mm tubing - why have they decided on 90m of tubing in the central heating packs? someone could need a lot less or a lot more, but is this a good average?

Hi, I am getting my average size 3 bedroom house set up with new combi and 8 new column radiators. The combi is the Sabre 35he. Please could anyone give me a very rough idea of how much copper piping the plumber will need and in what sizes. Although I know nothing about plumbing I am...

Hi, I am considering buying a front and back door off an online company but I have to measure the doors myself. I have been googling and see that I have to measure from brickwork to brickwork in three different places horizontally and vertically which I have done. But I am getting...

Hi, I have a plasterer coming in to do some work and have removed tiles from the bathroom but the adhesive is still there - should I remove it or is it OK to plaster over? Also, out of curiosity can you dryline over black mortar? Last question - I am supplying the plasterer's materials he...

Hi, I need a new boiler urgently but have limited funds. I done a bit of research (don't know if I have done it correctly!) and have found the Vokera Linea 30he and Glowworm 30cxi quite cheaply and within my budget. After reading loads of topics I would like a Worcester but this is not...
