Thanks again!

Thanks Mr Therm. Does the Switched go to B or C on the DT90?

I want to replace this old Honeywell stat with a digital stat (Honeywell DT90). Old stat has 4 wires (I’m assuming these are Live-Red, Switched Live-Red, Neutral-Black and Earth-Yellow/Green). Earth is isolated and others are connected, I think, to Terminal 1=Live, T4=empty, T3=Switched Live...

For everyone's info - I contacted a local plasterer and he charged me £50 to REPAIR it. Looks fine Insurance policy excess was £350

Thanks It will be older than 2000. I know I am covered, but I don’t like claiming if it’s not necessary. Sounds like I’ll have to though as this is in a large room and likely to cost a fair amount.

Water leak (found and fixed) has damaged plaster on textured ceiling (see image below). I’m no plasterer. How should I fix it? Could I get some glue behind it and press back to ceiling? Blistered plaster is brittle. Not sure if it is plaster or some other substance that might soften (e.g...

Thanks Winston

Thanks Lucid I suppose there's only one way to find out :) One further thought - if in future I ditch Virgin and go back to terrestrial, is it possible to use the Virgin cable to connect to the standard aerial or would I have to replace the cable again - just in case the co-ax and Virgin...

Considering having Virgin TV and broadband. Want TV in 3 rooms. House is traditional construction. Rooms all have TV co-ax outlets with cables to loft, including the one that Virgin will make first connection to. I don't want cable wrapped around my house. I know Virgin will supply cable I...

I want to replace floorboards with ply prior to tiling bathroom but cannot replace entire area to be Tiled because of where joists fall. At the door to the bathroom I'd be left with about 300 mm of original floorboard. Can anyone see a problem with this from the tiling perspective? i.e. Would...

Yes, we've looked into glass, but, one, it's expensive and, two, there's a bath backing onto the other side of the wall. Glass wall would leave a 40mm gap between glass and bath, which is not enough to get behind to clean and not sure it would look that good either.

Have updated post to correct and include dimensions - wall needs to be 50mm thick finished (not 25mm) as previously stated.

I've found posts similar to this, but not exactly as I need, so please bear with me. I need to construct a stud wall no more than 50mm thick, finished, including plasterboard and skim one side, Aquapanel the other. It will form a side wall to a shower enclosure (2400mm high x 800mm wide x...

There are cheaper versions around, but you need to be sure that they meet the regulations. One, which I'd rather not name, is made in China and makes some less than substantiated claims regarding Approved Document M. The 'Perkomatic' that you talk about is, in fact, called Powermatic. It's...

Guys I've picked this up a bit late, but the issue of slamming with door closers is because chain linked closers are uncontrolled closing devices. The Perko name has become generic for these types of closer, although it is actually a trade name for a product manufactured by Samuel Heath...

I'm building a very low (250mm) sleeper wall to retain a border that slopes down to a drive. The drive is tarmac and has concrete edging stones around it which are set and haunched in concrete. I need to remove the concrete haunching to make room for the sleepers, but cannot remove the edging...
