Having just spent most of Sunday decorating the bathroom in sealant, I just wanted to check the best method (as i didnt use masking tape) having read past posts: 1) Apply masking tape 2) Apply sealant (has anyone invented an easy gun to use yet?) 3) wet finger and smooth over 4) remove...

ok, what happens if walls arent primed properly?

I have some questions which are similar to a previous post (they are different in my mind...): Having stripped a wall using a steamer, after removing the wallpaper some of the paint below has also come off, leaving patches of plaster coming through. Do these patches have to be sealed...

Thanks, sounds good to me

Looking to re-fix a new hood to the external wall, although the fixing points in the cowling are only just wider than the hole in the wall. I think any new drilled holes may give way into the main hole so thinking about gluing it instead.....is this a viable option? If so, can anyone reccomend a...

For those that were gripped by this saga, it was the lamp holders on the majority of the lights which were sourced from a good co. on the internet in the end. Homebase/B&Q seem to overlook these.

It wasnt...Carpetright

er..more like 12V 50W ones....sorry So would you still think it could be a transformer problem ir there is no distinct pattern to the failures (like one floor out ot something)? ill take a look for a piccy of the lights

What made me think it was more localised is that there doesnt seem (to the untrained eye) any pattern to the lights which arent working (just moved into this house). On average 1 light per room, the most is 2. Also a couple of the leads which connect to the bulb are broken/damagaed, which led...

I dont know yet, this is why I am asking questions. So model specific or spring loaded arms? No, the light did not operate with a new bulb so I am assuming that it is the connector. Can you suggest something else apart from sarcasm? ELV?

So I have got the bulb out and it seems that the, ahem, wire thing it plugs into is not working. (Would they fail after 4/5 years?) So to replace this, it now seems I have to take out the whole recessed light from the ceiling to get at the wires..... This seems to have happened on half of the...

Thanks. I have been advised by the company that they should dissapear 'over a coupleof weeks' FYI, otherwise they will come back out to re-fit. Despite the fitters trying to rip my partner off, I'll give them the benefit of doubt for another week or two.....

I am in a similar position to TwoSheds regarding his early posting. I had a carpet installed in my lounge on the 23rd Dec, woven with underlay. The carpet has a 3-4 crease lnes which run part way across the width in a few positions. The fitters reassured my partner after the fitting that...

i'm all ears too....!

Thanks guys

My alarm system, the 'Karizma plus' with all the bells and whistles, has developed a minor fault. Having been turned off at the fusebox and then turned back on, the code was then inserted to stop the alarm going. Once silenced the display now displays an error message. To my suprise I am advised...

hi, I have the same problem, one cold rad (inc both pipes) all others working. tried turning off all the rest and leaving the one open, but nothing happened. Should this be done a number of times/days? Any other suggestions please?
