Sorry to hear that. I'm dreading the stuff not turning up right after I've ripped out the old kitchen. Sounds like I might be letting you know how I get on rather than the other way around. Where did you get youre colorfill from by the way, or are you not using it?

Oh, and in case you haven't found them take a look at these video tutorials. http://www.unika.co.uk/page.asp?page=videoclips&lang=GB

Thanks again for your help. I've a local firm coming out to have a look and will see what they say/quote.

Have you done the real thing yet Gary? Curious as to how you got on.

Will have a look. I believe it is grey though. How long would it take to put the damp proofing down that you mention, and is it expensive? Do you have any web links that may be of interest? Thanks again

Nottingham It actually has some sort of base under the existing lino, but it just pulls up and flakes apart. Perhaps that is what you are referring to? If that is the case would the method to follow be: Pull up existing lino and Damp proofing or whatever it is underneath up, revealing the...

Sorry, I should have said its a 1955 house in the midlands. No signs of any damp anywhere, but have no idea about a DPM - from what you have said probably hasn't got one. Where can I go from here then? Pulling up the quarry tiles and installing a DPC is a no-no. I've a kitchen being...

I am currently re-doing our kitchen. The old units are being replaced, and we want to put new vinyl lino down over the current lino we have. I'm intending to do the kitchen first, then get the vinyl/lino done afterwards. My main problem is knowing what to do with the current floor i.e...

Thanks. That puts my mind at rest a bit. Think I will order the tools and have a go.

Thanks. I look forward to hearing how it goes. You are probably doing it about a week before me. I'll have a think about what I plan to do.

Thanks Gary, I did read your post and was keeping an eye on how you got on. The link from RayGirling was great. Just what I needed. Curious to hear how you get on for real. Are you doing this anytime soon? Are you happy (so far) with the quality of the jig and router etc. Seems a reasonable...

Sorry to go through this again. I've waded through quite a few posts but still in two minds whether to try the butt and scribe joint or whether to bottle it and just use a metal strip to cover it. I have a U shaped kitchen so need two 90 degree worktop joins. I've access to a router but thats...

Thanks I can confirm it is pumping downwards. I'm also pretty certain water is not coming out of the vent pipe as I have been up there a bit over the weekend, though I never got as far as putting a jamjar under it. If it doesn't turn out to be air in the water from the recent water fill...

Thanks again guys. WIll have a look tonight re the direction of the pump. Will also take another pic of the tank cold - the heating was on when I took it. As for inhibitor, the rads were removed and flushed about a year ago. It was cleansed for 2 weeks, then emptied and refilled and...

Thanks for your help chaps - please dont turn it into WW3 though. Maybe these pics may shed some light. Enjoy http://kjpublic.dynalias.com/heating/

"the water level in the F&E is too high" How do I know if this is too high? What am I lookig for? Cheers

Thanks for the responses. The radiators were drained, cleaned and inhibited about a year ago, and nearly all had new thermostatic rad valves fitted. Its also been very recently drained and refilled (with inhibitor) so I dont thing that is it. The pipe in the loft that goes into the feed...

We have had problem with air in the central heating system since we moved in. The pipework has been looked at and nothing fundamentally wrong with the setup has been found. Have had two plumbers in but still have problems. We need to bleed regularly and have gurgling from the radiators. So...

Thanks All, There isn't a lot of heating pipes in that room. It is the first room past the bathroom door though, so there is a good chance it is getting the moisture from there. Not a lot I can do about that - we have an extractor fan though it doesn't seem to be great to be fair. I dont...

We are having problems with condensation in our back bedroom. There was previously damp due to leaking flashings around the chimney stack, and the ceiling wall near the chimney was damp. This was resolved, but now we are getting condensation in the same place. It is literally dripping off the...
