Hi, Thanks for all your replies. I have to go see the designer at B&Q soon (when they ring back to make an appointment) so I can ask about the CCU then. There is a guy from Magnet here at the moment (he's measuring up whilst I write this) so it will be interesting to see if he says...

Hello, Just had a B&Q kitchen designer / consultant around to measure up and give me a quote for a new kitchen. He seemed a pleasent enough guy but he did talk fast and I couldn't take in everything he was saying / pointing out (and I'm a bit of a doofus anyway). I'm sure he said that my...

Hello, This drain keeps overflowing when there is anything more than a little light rain. I've tried to push a length of flexible pipe into the orrifice at the bottom but it will only go a couple of inches. Don't know anything about drains so not sure what path the pipe takes. I have to pay...

Hello, I want to lay some new vinyl on the kitchen floor (in preperation for selling the house). My kitchen floor has a sharp declevity over half it's length and also many depressions. I want to fill in the depressions - the worst approx 10mm deep. Also the depressions 'run down' the slope so...

Hi, This is my varnished kitchen ceiling. It's been cladded for longer than the eight years I've lived here. I'm planning to paint it white. After I've sanded it do you think I should still treat the knots or are they 'exhausted' after this long? Should I sand back to the bare wood or will...

Hi, I intend to paint my cladded kitchen ceiling white. It is varnished at the moment. I don't want to sand by hand so will buy an electric sander but I'm not sure what type to get. Do you think an orbital or a belt sander would be best? The varnish is not very thick. Thanks...

Hi, How can I get rid of stains caused by untreated knots on a door frame fitted three years ago? Will I have to sand back to the knots and treat or will it be OK just to re-gloss?

Hi, Forgive me if this is a daft question but is it necessary or advantageous to have tiles over a concrete floor before laying carpets? Look at my photo: A lot of the original tiles broke when pulled up to re-route CH pipes and also many are broken where the carpet grippers have been...

Hello, Is there a filler available that is suitable for filling gaps between chipboards? The fillers at DIY stores all say that they're not suitable for filling gaps in floors. I am about to lay new carpet and don't want the gaps (some approx 1/8", 2mm ish wide) to telegraph through.

Hi, [Stone chippings are a thing of the past!....Mineral finish is what you want,a decent quality 2 layer system will do the job..] This 2 layer system - is that like a 4mm underlay put over the existing felt (after removing the chippings) and finished with a mineral felt top layer...

Thanks for all your replies. The rad is a 600w x 974h (570 between center of connections) Hydroline - Harmony, bought from B&Q three or four years ago. Removing the element because hardly seem to use it and it weeps very slightly where the tee connects to the rad. Difficult to tighten...

Sorry no, I'm not that hi-tec yet. I suspect theres no easy solution or by now someone would have said "You need one of these". Guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and move the pipe. Thanks anyway KP.
