Jeez. Didn’t know this would be this difficult. With the trend seemingly being for every man and his dog fitting doors like this I thought it would a simple case of jumping on the bad wagon and swapping some doors out. Fitting sprinkler systems etc is not an option. The house is decorated top to...

Evening, looking for some advice please. We live in a modern 3 storey townhouse (built 2016). Downstairs we have a kitchen, dining room and living room that we want to change the internal doors from the current ‘new build’ white doors to black glazed internal doors here…...

Evening, I have a kitchen wall unit that needs to be installed 240mm from the wall. What have you guys done in similar scenarios where the offset is quite large. Have you built a framework behind the unit fixed to the wall?? Thanks

Great. Thank you. Yes, thought of that when door is opened

Afternoon, I need to rip out our existing kitchen in preparation for the new kitchen and to allow some electrical work to go ahead. However, this means removing the integrated electric oven that we will still need to use. As a TEMPORARY measure, can I use the oven outside its housing? Clearly...

Has anyone used this? https://www.wood-finishes-direct.com/product/barrettine-fungicidal-wash-multicide

So, removed some wall cupboards a few months ago found a black mouldy area in the plasterboard behind. Realised that the silicone around the base of the shower above needed replacing as water was leaking through and causing this. Left it to dry out for a few weeks and then, this morning, cut...

Yup. Plenty of/normal amount of water

ok, i don’t know who is who but all I was saying was that the original poster stating it’s caused by too many toilets was hopefully joking. Not JohnD

I think (hoping) that was a joke!

Hi Madrab Hmm. What would that look like? There are no visible pipes anywhere. Everything is boxed in with no access panels etc…

Ah thanks. That’s what it is I’ll see if there are any other possible explanations before I start removing toilets!

Evening all, Not a nice post but one that has me baffled. We have 6 toilets. 1 downstairs. 4 on middle floor and 1 on the top floor. It’s a 7 year old house. No water tank in loft etc. Always clean. No animals in house. The top floor toilet, one of the middle floor and the downstairs one all...

Actually, having just measured 75cm it’s not a great height!! Does mounting at a greater height improve its extraction ability?

Hi, do you know how high above the job you installed it? Looks higher than the regular recommended 750mm.

I think the installation height and extraction type is all good. I was wanting to seek advice as to whether the 90cm unit would still extract from the hob effectively. I think from jj4091’s comment it shouldn’t be a problem??

Hiya, it’s extracting (vents through wall). The 75cm is the recommended height above hob.

Thanks for your reply. If I’m using a 90cm unit, is there a preferred height above the job as that’s more flexible. I was going to work to 75cm - is that ok?

Hi All Ok, fitting our kitchen and building in a custom cooker hood. Our range cooker is 110cm wide so the gap between the wall cupboards for a hood is, obviously, 110cm too. Clearly, we cannot fit a 110cm wide extractor unit as there would be no ‘meat’ either side to frame the unit. So, we...

Thanks all. Wife’s heart has been “un-set”!!
