Thanks for your help, my next question is do I get one stay or two? At the moment my cabinets (4 in total) just have one per door.

Ive got some rubbish cabinet stays on my top opening kitchen cupboards. They dont hold the doors up, ive got to keep tightening them up. Im thinking of changing them to pneumatic ones. My doors are 900 x 350, would I need a stay at each side or would I get a way with one? Also, while looking...

Hi all, Recently had a loft conversion done, rads were added to my system which comprises of rads for my house and wet under floor heating for my extension. Recently noticed that when my underfloor heating came on my downstairs rad became warm. Problem was traced to the return water of the...

Many thanks Boilerman2. I thought it would require a non return valve just wanted someone to back up the idea. Now to see what my plumber will say, probabley want some extra money to sort it! lol

2 years ago I had installed wet underfloor heating in my new extension along with a new central heating system in my house. Everything worked fine. Recently had my loft converted with some extra rads installed. When the cental heating is on all the rads work fine, no problems. When just...

I've looked at the cables but not tested them yet. I've noticed one cable looks crushed as it has had a board on top of it. None of the cables look to be nicked or cut. Is alarm cable flimsy enough to be "crushed"? I am going to ask the electrician doing my loft if he can fix it as the...

If I change the fuse then will it be likely that there will be a zone that doesnt work which will indicate the zone or zones damaged cable? Many thanks for your swift replies!

Hi all, I'm currently having my loft converted and my Viritas R8 alarm will not set, all the PIR zones will not set, door contact is fine. When looking at the PIR's there is no red light on them. Before I go to my builder and complain (thinking wires have got pulled in the loft? but alarm did...

Thanks all for your replies, To answer a few questions, the back plat of the tap is fixed to the house wall and the tap srews into the back plate. Was trying to replace the washer in the tap when I displaced backplate and the k rend. Have now bought a new tap and screwed it into the back...

Right, I shall do that. Do you just mix the stuff with water? I imagine its just like fill a hole with filler?

I've knocked my outside tap which has k rend around it (all the house is rendered with K rend), the result of which is a piece of k rend approximately the size of a 2 pound coin has come loose exposing the tap back plate beneath the k rend finish. Not a major problem I know but does anyone know...

Where I want to place my new aerial, the signal should'nt pass through the conversion. I think I will go with the f-type connectors, this sounds simple as I can buy a splitter and an aerial with a f-type connection on it. One last question, the two old aerial leads are plastered into my wall...

Hi all, I've got a loft aerial (old one) and i'm shortly going to have my loft converted so I need my aerial moving. I'm going to buy a new aerial but what are the best connectors to buy for joining or splitting the cable? I currently have two cables connected to my aerial. I was thinking of...

Hi all, I am thinking of having a loft conversion. Had a chap around tonight who is a competent builder and specialises in loft conversions. The conversion we want is straight forward. Bedroom with en-suite, no major structural work to the roof just joists strengthening. I asked the builder...

Hi all, I've had a extension built with a view to having a loft conversion. I'm planning on turning the loft space above the extension into a bathroom (this is long term plan). Meanwhile as the builder put in load bearing joists (7 inch) for the future i'm thinking of boarding this part for...
