I forgot to say I have GU5.3 fitted. Thanks

Hi I have 12v downlighters in my kitchen. The are halogen and hot to touch. Currently I am running 12v 50w bulbs. Is there an alternative to these bulbs as I don't really want to have to change the fittings. It can get quite dark in there so we are reliable on having the lights on quite...

Thanks both for your views. The TF 1 seems to be more readily available and at a good price so and looks easy to fit according to you tube. Regards

Hi there. Planning to fit a filter on the central heating this weekend. Can anyone advise or reccommend the Tf 1 or the compact which are both the same price at screwfix. Thanks for any advice.

Hi there I am looking at re doing my door frames and skirting boards this weekend due to freezing weather - no chance to go camping. I have seen varied reports about dulux trade brilliant white satin wood. Can anyone recommend this or a similar produce that won't yellow? I have some...

Thanks all for your replies. We have a Johnstone paint outlet near where I live so will have a look and see what they have. Cheers

Hi there. I am planning a spot of DIY for the easter weekend (mad I know) and looking at starting to do all of the ceilings. I have heard about an indicator white emulsion that is pink when it goes on the turns white when dry? Is this a gimmic or is it worth paying the extra for it? I...

I hope these photos work!

Hi My old chaff system boiler seems to have found a new lease of life. After having a new thermistor fitted it works like new. I would like to fit a Magnaclean or something similar to catch all of the muck I can here charging through the pump. The Magnaclean website reccomends...

Hi there. I am planning to box in a run of plastic 40mm waste pipes that run vertical up the gable end of the house into the loft cavity. The pipe runs from a toilet saniflow system. I the battens will have to be in excess of the 40mm pipe diameter. I have looked at wickes and not sure...

Thanks Hugh I drained the pipes back in December and I had 3m worth of water gushing down through the Solvent Waste access plug. I will have a look around for a way or re routing the pipe. I don't really want to have to box the pipes in as this will turn into a bigger job than I want to do...

Hi A relative of mine has a saniflo in a downstairs bathroom fed by a shower and toilet. The waste pumps up on the outside of the house into the soil stack in the roof. The only problem is the wate pipe is not insulated and in the winter it just splits spraying the contents of the...

The electric boiler route didn't sit comfortably with me. The installation was also considerably more expensive than a gas boiler with an increased running cost. I have just popped in to see a neighbour who had an identical system to the Chaffoteaux but has had a new system boiler fitted in...

Thanks for the reply. I was told by one company due to new building regs it would almost be impossible to fit a like for like system hence an electro option was suggested. I think the combi is more for ease if the installer and not for what we require. A neighbour has had a system boiler...
