‘Question is should the flue which will go up through the roof and be circa 2m long be single rigid pipe or a twin walled flexi pipe’ not quite sure how you interpret my original post in the way you have. Anyway, your help to others is to be applauded but if you want to give advise I suggest...

Well get you! It’s a pity your training didn’t include ‘how to communicate in an effective and non patronising manner’

There you go!, thanks for that Bernard and lostinm, very helpful. It’s what I call a teeny bit of pragmatism which is all that I was asking about. So much better to be helpful than send smart arse replies. Cheers

It’s a quality antipodean produced cast iron stove I’d have you know !

What a juvenile response that is.....I didn’t for one moment suggest the answer was incorrect and I think you and your fellow keyboard warriors fully understand that. My question was simply intended to allow an examination of what allowances, if any, might be sensible bearing in mind the...

4.5 metres that would take it 2.5m above the roof. Presumably there is room for a pragmatic appraisal of what will be sufficient

It will be very occasional use and is aesthetically more appealing than a modern stove.

If I’ve pressed the correct button there should be attached a photo of a small Yukon pot bellied wood burner to be install into a man cave. Question is should the flue which will go up through the roof and be circa 2m long be single rigid pipe or a twin walled flexi pipe. Thanks in advance of...

The property is a 30 year old semi with full dpm protection. The tiles that we lifted were commonly called ‘Marley vinyls’ they are not the very old stuff from the 40’s so asbestos is not an issue. I’m thinking something like Ball Stopgap 1200 might do the trick.

Hi, as the listing says I am about to lay 25m2 of Polyflor vinyl tiles(it’s the same as Karndean). The previous covering was carpet under which there were those very old almost plastic 300 x 300 tiles. They have come up very easily and have left a very thin perfectly smooth black coating on the...

I’ve been trying to find out who this arrested minister is

Hi Woody, the area of each of the three areas is about 20m2 and the only use will be for the occupants of the house as a light use patio......no vehicular traffic so hopefully I can get away with a hand job so to speak! My lads are pretty good craftsmen. Cheers

Hi guys, anyone had any experience of Tar and Chip. I am doing a renovation and have three areas of flat smooth concrete already laid that I want to make more aesthetically pleasing to the eye.....exam are is about 20m2 An option is to apply a bitumen and spread over a washed gravel, press into...

....bog standard black 300mu membrane will do the trick ....place directly to the rear of the sleepers about 150mm down from the top for aesthetic reasons ....tack into place.....this will keep the membrane roughly in place until you put the backfill in place ....put a drain hole in every 700mm...

I think it’s based on a true story

Pina Colada Song by Rupert Holmes.......brilliant lyrics that tell a full story in less than four minutes

So MDF is a no no ??

Hi Guys, I am over boarding an existing floor (after removal of old 18mm planks) so that the finished level will be up to the existing skirting. Question is can the over boarding be MDF rather than ply ?? Cheers

Hi guys, anyone happen to know if the vertical flue for a Heatline C24 Compact fits the Heatline Solaris. Trying to get some info from Heatline/Valliant/Glow worm is mission impossible Cheers

I am renovating a row of four terraced houses. We had to change the position of some of the windows and doors which meant the smooth rendered exterior needed to be patched up. It was not possible to achieve a perfect, none-noticeable join between the old and new and I am now looking for the...
