Poke it down into the gap in the loft...

Hi, I'm in the process of insulating the loft and have high ceilings in the rooms below which follow the roof line into the corners/eaves. The ceiling below is up against the rafters, which are 70mm in depth, but with the roof felt lining sagging a bit it closes to about 60mm in places. I...

Hi there, We're planning to move our Worcester 24CDI boilier from the bathroom into the kitchen. A couple of people have suggested getting a new combi boiler as part of the move. How much better will a new combi be than the 24CDI - enough to spend up to £1000 for a new one? We're not...

Hi there, I've bought some Ronseal Brushing Wax (as we've been told it gives a non shine finish compared to varnish) for the new natural wooden window cills we've just had fitted. We're after the dark oak brown look so bought this and just applied one coat. Instead of giving the Dark Oak...

I've just had new Rehau double glazed units fitted and noticed that the frames have what is called 'knock-ons' (?) at the top, making more plastic visible and making the window size smaller - not by anything much but obviously with UPVC double glazing the less plastic and more glass the better...

Hi there, I've read through the topics on boiler pressure, but think the problem may be the method I used to replace and refill a radiator - its a Worcester 24CDI boiler. When removing the radiator a number of weeks ago I locked the radiator flow and return valves and the boiler pressure...
