Pics of things that need sorting in the kitchen

Too late now, but I've just come across these - M6 connecting screws, complete. They would have been perfect! Thought I'd post this in case anyone else finds my original thread and could use the answer. Apologies for bumping this, but I don't like leaving things unresolved...

Hi all I am just finishing building my kitchen and I have one thing left to do. I have a 250mm gap between the fridge and the wall and I want to put a narrow shelving unit in there. It will be 2m high and 250mm wide, and about 500mm deep. I was really hoping to find someone to just sell me...

All, Many thanks for the responses, I really appreciate it. I've been away from home for a few days but just checked - it's 4.4mw. It is going on a brand new circuit with a 30a fuse. I should have been clearer in my original post - it was never my intention to use a plug on this...

Thanks. I bought the cooker second-hand. It is a double oven and so a plug is unsuitable and was definitely added by the previous user. I suspect the cable was too. I want to replace it with heat-resistant flex, because that seems a lot safter than simple twin and earth to me. The FCU and...

Hi all I am doing up my kitchen and have run out of money, so bought a second-hand built-in Bosch double oven. Model number is HBN13M250B - it's a double oven. The oven has come with a length of twin and earth cable fitted (with a plug on the end, which is a bit worrying!). I could just...

Thanks all. That product I linked to was no good due to weight limit - thanks for pointing that out! I've gone for a resin anchor - wish me luck!

Thanks. It's a solid brick wall, although an old one! I'm thinking of some sort of resin anchor, or plug-it pollyfilla: http://www.transtools.co.uk/store/prod_5523/painting-and-decorating/decorating-fillers-and-adhesives/polycell-plug-it-polyfilla-wall-repair-26g.html Thoughts?

Hi all I'm put up a kitchen wall unit next to a full height unit. I've made a bit of a mistake because I forgot to put the cover panel on the side of the full height unit (15mm thick). This means I've had to take down the wall unit, and will need to put it back up again 15mm to the left...

There are plenty of companies that specialise in doing replacement doors. They come around, measure up, and make you doors to fit. I'm not going to recommend any because I've never used one, but google should tell you who the local ones to you are.

I'm doing an IKEA kitchen at the moment too, and have exactly the same setup with the gas pipe. The backs of the base units are flush to the wall, so you need to drop the gas pipe to plinth level as it runs across to the position of the unit for the gas hob. IKEA make two different carcases...

Hi all Simple question, this: I'm fitting my kitchen. I have a wall unit next to a full height unit, and there is a cover panel in between the two. The width of the carcases for the wall unit and the tall unit is 18mm, and the cover panel is 15mm wide. So total width of about 50mm. My...

Right, another quick question: I plan to put down aquapanel boards over my new floor before tiling, because: 1) they look like they would give me a nice flat surface to work on; 2) they bring the level up to exactly what I want to meet the floor of the adjoining room at a lower cost (and...

I find it irritating when people start a thread like this and never let people know how everything turned out, so just to update the people who helped me (and more likely, novice DIYers like me who end up searching for Ardex DPM on this forum): I put down the DPM 1C today at about 7am. I...

Thanks Dazlight. The guidance on the technical datasheet says a suitable V notch trowel so it is good to know exactly the one to use. Really appreciate your help. As regards the price: you are right! I did gulp when they told me the price at the suppliers, but as long as the floor is solid...

Daz, Crazydaze, thanks for your help. I had to get the floor down today so spoke to the technical departments at a few suppliers this morning, and they advised me to go with Arditex NA, and Ardex DPM 1 C as a damp proof layer. I'm putting down quartz tiles ultimately. The technical guy at the...
