    We are just the process of getting a smallish porch on the front of our house (2m x 3m) and I have been looking at using these smaller guttering (75mm) thats available as I think the standard (110mm) is going to look too big. I have seen the Marley "Miniline" range thats only 75mm wide as...

    Underfloor heating pipes etc

    Could i just use a length of flexible 15mm plastic pipe (not sure how much?) and then fit an inline TRV ? Its not a massive area (only 2m x 3m = 6m2) and so I dont realy want to spend a great deal - We had planned on just putting a small radiator in there so the original budget was around...

    Well I got myself a tub and all I can say is WOW! - Its fantastic for hardwood and you can just mix up exactly what you want. Like you say its just a poweder so it should keep for ages (not a bad price either).

    Upgrading / replacing shower extractor fan

    :BUMP: I know its an old thred of mine but I never got round to sorting it out and the bathroom gets fairly steamy now (the original 70m3/Hr is rubbish). I wondered if anyone knows if any of these three listed above would be OTT for a 2m x 3m bathroom ? The outlet bit connects to a...

    Manufacturers of Spindles etc for hallway

    At the start of next year I am going to review our 1970s style stairs in our house and I would like to replace the Spindles, handrails etc. I have seen in our local B&Q a kit (I think its from Richard Burberage) that includes everything I need including spindles etc but before I jump the gun...

    Indesit WIDL146 - What do these flashing service lights mean

    Well hes just been and looks like they made a mistake in that I dont have a 5 year parts warranty so the 1st thing he said was that the call out is now £67 plus parts. He said it was either one of three things: 1) The heater - £30 2) Pressure value sensor - £7 3) The controller / eprom -...

    Indesit WIDL146 - What do these flashing service lights mean

    Indesit WIDL146 - What do these flashing service lights mean

    I have an Indesit WIDL146 washing machine and after a few minutes of operation the "Lock light" flashes along with the "Delay Timer" and "Extra Rinse" lights. The pump also seems to kick in to remove the waste water to the pipe (I guess this is some kind of safe guard panic mode). Upon...

    Blocked drain / roots

    Thought about that but to be honest, one of the main reasons now why I think that CCTV would be a good idea is peace of mind. God knows what kind of problems I would have (subsidence etc) if theres another fault somewhere else. I might have another word with the insurance company as I would...

    Blocked drain / roots

    Yep cheers ! The only problem I have is that the insurance company need to have proof that the issue is casued by roots and the only way I can do this is to have a CCTV survey done (which costs £100 and the insurance company will not pay for). So all in all I have to pay out £100 for the...

    Blocked drain / roots
