Thank you :-)

https://www.screwfix.com/p/manrose-cowl-vent-white-125mm/54366#_=p Bought this product, but the round collar does not fit inside the tube/flue. Sizewize, the collar is exactly the same as the flue so it's millimetres too big to connect. The flue has been in the wall about 15 years. It's a...

I use a dehumidifier from autumn to spring. And I have a heater. Just want to make it that its not too hot to use in summer. I have a beautiful space but, often it's too hot :-(

It's my hobby room - sewing etc. I also use it for peace and quiet whilst doing admin.

Really surprised. I telephoned Dunster House and they said they insulate the roof and floor only using 25mm PIR.

Thank you. Any idea on how to calculate the thickness needed? The cabin measures 3 x 4 mtrs.

Hello I have a Dunster house log cabin. I have had it for three years almost. It gets too hot in summer and too cold in winter. I now understand that I should have had it insulated. So, what product and thickness should I buy? I guess once insulation is in place, it will have to be held...

Thank you for not taking the mickey lol :-)

OMG! I am such a wally! It didn't occur to me that I could only half turn the knob. I just tried it and less water comes out! Thank you.

Hello My shower uses a huge amount of water, it comes out very fast. Is it possible to reduce the pressure so that I use less water? I have a Vaillant Combi Boiler. If so, how do I reduce the water pressure? Many thanks

I have been down that route. The regular engineer I use had to go in and sort this because it wasn't covered by D&G Platinum. I actually feel like I need to get away from the regular engineer as well as D&G. I am not convinced he has been done things right. I feel like he has his own agenda.

Can anything be done about this? Conventional Boiler located downstairs in kitchen. When heating isn't needed, but hot water is, you can't turn off the bathroom radiator. I.e, the only way to get and store hot water is having to put up with a hot bathroom even in a heatwave. Is there a...

I honestly don't know. I am going round and round in circles. The boiler and system is on a repair plan. But D&G constantly give me different stories as to why whatever fault there is, it's not covered under the Platinum plan. I am sick and tired of spending hours on the phone having...

Hello I have an old boiler which heats radiators and it heats water to be stored in a copper tank. I believe it is about 18/20 years old. It is a very small compact baxi solo 2 30 PF and it is located in a kitchen cupboard - the flue goes straight out the back of the boiler through the...

Hi I have an acrylic based eggshell on my wall. I want to go over this with fresh paint, different colour. Can I go straight on the top with the same product? Do I need to prepare the surface? Thanks

Hi Could I have an experienced recommendation for which masking tape to use? I have a feature wall which has wallpaper on it. The other walls are painted. I want to change the paint only - hopefully getting away with not having to strip wallpaper off etc etc. Which would be the best tape to...

Thank you. Appreciated.

Hello My front door is painted a traditional period colour - I think it is British Racing Green (the door is an original Victorian over 120 years old). I want to change it to a nice traditional Navy Colour. Once fully rubbed down, filled etc - do I apply a grey undercoat before applying two...

Hello My living room walls was last painted in 2013 using a great quality Johnstones paint (the walls still look great!). I want to change the colour to a white but I can't remember which product we bought. Any opinions would be welcome (please be nice though!). It has a very 'slight'...

Thank you. I will post pictures tomorrow. Ceiling is 120 years old and it has a few cracks.
