Also just spotted the tiling…. The tiles are the same size….

So he has apparently finished, and a number of things I expected him to sort appear to have been left…. Really not sure inviting him back to resolve is the best solution now. *top of tiling on wall above the bath. Big gap… left open… needs filling as a minimum, but surely he should have adjust...

Thanks for the advice, unfortunately I’ll be away at work by the time he gets to mine.

Hi, just getting a bathroom fitted and apparently the guy will finish tomorrow, but had a quick look round and a few issues making me a little concerned. And don’t want to jump to conclusions as I know many things are sorted when they get tweaked at the end, but: *there is a cut in one of the...

Today its in full use, was lucky to get some low height drawers and cupboards which work well with the knee boards and an oil filled radiator. Used it once a week and then lockdown hit, so it was in full time, been very impressed with it, even the other year when it was -10c the temperature...

Now the fun started with the plastering. Having never done this before it was a steep (and messy) learning curve. It was all butt joints, and no tapered boards! Then there was a lot of debate over the stairs and how to fit a door. Ended up using this neat door arrangement with a pneumatic piston...

Next up came the insultation, I used 100m Celotex, with 130mm rafters this allowed 30mm airflow under the tiles, think modern standards are a little thicker, but when the rest of the house was built 100mm was the regs! The end walls simply had rockwool. Next up was the plasterboard, the sides...

Realised I'd not posted a thread on this. Completed it back in 2018, thinking I would use occasionally, but was a god send during the working from home in the pandemic, and still very pleased with it. Cost was under £1k IIRC. Essentially I moved into a house with a detached double garage, with...

Thanks, i did think of those, but from the position it’ll have to be the self taps!

So just done my annual oven clean on a NEFF U12M42N0GB, this time I decided to remove the plate that covers the fan and element at the back too. I noted there were only 3 screws (instead of 4) and one was fairly lose, but didn’t think anything of it. Anyway, went to put the plate back on and...

Just a follow up on this, thanks for the useful... and less than useful/sarcy comments. Used some descaler in the system which I thought had worked, unfortunately it came back the other day. I found a couple of other threads on other sites for people with similar issues (they described it as a...

Hi, got a British Gas 330+ and it’s starting to make a ‘pulsing Noise’ no way to really describe it (doesn’t match any of the videos or descriptions I’ve seen), I’ve got a short video here, wondering if this is a simple radiator adjustment or need to get a corgi engineer round?! it’s a hard...

So more bizarreness, the E01 disappeared and then I got an E24 code. Turning on it got the rinse aid and Salt lights flashing thenE24. Then the e24 code disappeared and I’ve just got the flashing lights!

Hi, I have a Bosch dishwasher playing up. it gradually was doing rubbish cleans, but also the wash time was getting very slow (3hr wash would take 4 hours and seemed to pause mid wash). Reading up so I cleaned the matrix which was gunked up. Didn’t solve the problem and now had washes that reset...

so I have a British Gas 330+ and just as I was about to remove a radiator blocked with sludge I checked the boiler and has the n11 error (flow and/or return NTC error, wires disconnected fault etc). Couldn’t see anything obvious when I had a look, cables and plugs seemed fine, anything else...

Hi, thanks for the advice, ended up calling out a sparky. Seemed equally flummoxed at first. So after investigation he essentially found two faults, one on a coffee machine (as suspected, although it was still tripping after it was unplugged), the other on the lighting circuit, apparently the...

Cheers The problem is any of the small MCBs will trip the main RCD if there is any current running on their circuit. Tried one at a time, as soon as any current flows, the main RCD trips. Wondering if the main RCD is screwed.

Thanks for replies, seems I've unplugged everything off the circuit that was initially causing the problem, essentially I can turn on any of the branch circuits on individually, but as soon as any current is drawn through it trips the main breaker.

My circuit board has two main breakers, each has 4 branch circuits. Recently one of the main breakers went ( not any of the branch), so I reset it. seemed OK for a while but went again this evening. I suspected the circuit in the kitchen, and turning that on seems to trip the main breaker...

Think I understand what you mean, yes it's symmetrical to the other side of the ladder, I built a small 'box' either side of the ladder legs and cut the carpet all at this level, has the advantage of keeping the ladder stable and in the middle. The edge is angled at the same angle of the ladder...
