Hi In the process of fitting a new 760mm square shower tray in the exisiting shower enclosure in an en suite ( 3 sides are existing walls with a gap for the door). the old tray was raised on 2 x 4's laid flat to allow for the shower trap/waste to drain away. is this a common way of fitting...

Hi as well as a new kitchen, bedroom, living room, pretty much the whole damn house! we are looking to renovate our ensuite. we want to put in one of the wash stands with a counter top basin. I foresee two problems however: 1) the depth of the wall. The showrooms/magazines all show the small...

Thanks. will see what deals i can get on the porcelain

Hi Trying to make a decision on what floor tiles to put down in the kitchen. Haven't got a huge budget and i know there tends to be a difference in price between the two. Porcelain being the more expensive from what i've seen. What would everyone recommend? Cheers

Also, these lights work fine -...

Hi Am looking to change the wall switches from plastic to metal/chrome ones. I have a question about the earthing - Basically the metal back boxes are already earthed in that the earth cable is wired into them. The red and black cables are self explanatory, but i also have an earth connection...
