vibrobullit407, you did not get my point. Sorry. I really wanted to know what types of light should I go for and where to place them rather then anything else. RMS, thanks for this. I think for simplicity reasons I will simply get 3 lights for zone 1 so I can install them in any of the...

Hi, I'm slowly getting to an end with my bathroom renovation project. One of the things left is - lights. My bathroom is really small (around 1.8 x 1.8m) so I'm thinking of getting three halogen bulbs/lights similar to this...

if there is gloss underneath that you could give it a try with a heat gun - it should get the gloss along with the emulsion... Though, I've never tried it myself...

I used B&Q Heavy Duty Grout Remover - it works alright but possibly there are better ways of getting the grout out. Other one is mechanically - Bosch All Rounder with appropriate blade. In my bathroom is just removed surface grout (like 1mm). There were some holes and some of the grout did...

ok, so if i go for the acrylic paint I should apply mist coat followed by acrylic primer? Or there is no really need for a primer as mist coat serves the same purpose?

bump... any recommendations/advise anyone? Oil based or acrylic?

Thanks for that! How important are soffits to be in a good condition? Is this only for decoration or do they serve any other purpose?

Hi, I've got a leak in my roof and hopping to get a company to fix it. It is a tenements so a scaffolding will be needed and therefore the cost is predicted to be sky hight to do any work. Luckily the cost will be split between all inhabitants but nevertheless it is not cheap per flat either...

I agree.. therefore the need for a mini expansion tank on DHW (that I do not actually have ;) To be honest, I do not remember just now where I found the recommendation on inlet NRV. But I agree it would make more sense to have it on the outlet, though I'm just an DIY person not a pro...

I thought fitting NRV on OUTPUT from boiler is not recommended anymore therefore on the INPUT?

I don't think I will find a single valve of the same length as double one. And I do not want to cut/extend the pipes so I think I will stick to a new double valve... Though, got a bathroom renovation going on just now so this will have to wait for a few more days. Anyway, thanks a lot for you...

do you think I could use this fascia board as window board? http://www.pvcbuildingproducts.co.uk/225mm-18mm-mammoth-fascia-board---25-mtr-39-p.asp

Hi, I'm in the process of renovating my bathroom. On of the things that I really want to exchange is bathroom window cill. The current one is/was made of MDF and is started to bubble and looked very awful (too much moisture). I removed it and now cannot find any replacement :) I think...

if you go for combi your CH will not work when you take shower... is or DHW or CH but never both of them at the same time. This seem to be only a problem when you have multiple people taking shower one after another or people taking long showers - your radiators will become cold then! Re...

right, i had similar issue - trowel marks and some very shallow patches... I went to my second home (b&q) and got some sanding screen... works like a charm for me! Just make sure your plaster is really dry at the first place!

Ok, I'm in the same boat - got my ceiling skimmed and now needs to be painted. I looked through many boards and I cannot get to a conclusion.. Apparently there are 2 approaches: First one being to apply a thin coat of emulsion straight onto the dry plaster and then paint it with...

Hello, I'm looking into replacing my shower curtain with a shower screen (being fed up with the ever lasting mold and dirt on the bottom of the curtain). As you can imagine I do not want to spent fortune on it to get a perfect one, though what are the main things I should be aware of when...

I would not have hot water at all if the valve was the wrong way in? (the valve would block the inlet).. I do have hot water - so I presume is the right way in :) Can I open it to clear the insides? Ie. remove the crap :)
