Hi All I have built some panelling in my bathroom out of 18mm marine ply. Top half will be tiled and the bottom half painted to match the matt walls. What's the best way to finish the painting on the ply? cheers

my apologies, i should have been more accurate, I meant the plastic supply speedfit couplings. I ordered a load online but needed a couple of extra 90 deg angles and didn't want to pay postage on them - but I guess I will. thanks for your answers

Quick question - are the various makes of pushfit compatible? Or is it best practice to stick to one range?

the problem I have is that I have taken two weeks off work to work on the house - i was suppose to be starting in the bathroom. So i really need to be cracking on with something. So I am trying to salvage a couple of walls, and will have the rest that are just beyond repair, reskimmed next...

Thanks for the replies. I have taken a few photos, although it is difficult to appreciate in pictures: I suppose i broke a golden rule of not taking a personal recommendation, but I thought i was doing the right think, keeping the cash in the...

Hi All I am really at a lost at what to do next. I have moved out of my house so i am able to finish renovating it. i had just got to the stage where living in it with a family and doing work was impossible. i have spent the last 12 weekends prepping, stripping paper etc. A family members...

yeah, alright so cutting wood and spelling are not my greatest talents :oops:

i really wish i could, but this pattern only comes in a standard width

ok thanks, i have a circular saw. i was worried it would chew the wood up, but i will give it a go

Hi All I am replacing the door architrave as part of a house renovation. The new stuff is about 2cm wider than the old which is ok for the most part, but some of the doors are too close to the wall for the new stuff to fit without cutting down. So my question is what is the easiest way...

they look pretty damn close, thanks!!

Hi All, Desparately trying to source some floor tiles. These tiles are terracotta/brown in colour and 15cmx15cmx12mm, some have a rounded front edge. They are currently being used for the floor in the porch, by the front door, and i need to replace some damaged ones. The...

Yes it is at mains pressure, and it's near to the mains pipe in. Could this have busted the valve.... do they come with different pressure ratings? Silly question :oops: how do they come apart? I can't see anything to undo. It seems to be a sealed unit. Lee

Hi I have a relatively new lav that has just started to constantly overflow. I have tried adjusting the water level but the water still overflows down the internal pipe. The only way I can stop it is to push down on the black "button" that sits on top of the filling pipe. However...

Ok, I followed the procedure and emptied and refilled my system - I even added inhibitor this time :lol: After bleeding all the rads I could still hear alot of air/gurgling in the pipes and the boiler still registered error 5 and wouldn't fire. I wired the pump up to permanent live...

mmm I have one of those auto valves, red plastic cover slightly undone? Otherwise I can't see another bleed point. Anyway I must have biffed this up, I will start from scratch tomorrow. So I have a fighting chance of getting right, how should i do it properly? :oops: ie valves in...

ok Dave, Set the boiler temp to 38 I have put both valves to manual, The pump is on 3 (already) I have bled all the rads I bled the pump I bled the point on a pipe coming from the bottom of the cylinder. Boiler still trips, and still sounds the north sea is running through...

nope, I just untied the ballcock and let it go. Should I move the valves to open now?

Hi Help! I have tried refilling the system but am still getting the same error. I have fitted a rad in the dining room and put boiler valves on the pipe end coming down from downstairs. I have let the system refill and have bled all the rads. When i turn on the boiler there is a lot of...

Great Thans for your help. No doubt I will back on tommorow for advice after I fitted a couple of rads :D Cheers
