Thanks everyone, I didn't expect so many replies. The guys that fitted the Macerator Toilet, said to avoid them, but I assumed that's just because they want you to ask for a proper toilet and they can charge a fortune. The problem with coming back once I've found a property is that they sell so...

Hi, We're currently renting a bungalow whilst we look for one to buy. When we buy we will need 2 toilets, we haven't been too bothered about that as we can install a Macerator Toilet, however, the landlord of the rental had a Macerator Toilet installed, it's a Grundfos Sololift 2, I think this...

Thank you :D

Thanks again, this might seem a daft question, but how to I know what pipe is the return (are they labelled on the boiler? Or might the bolier instructions \ Installation manual tell you), I have done some pipe work, so I guess I can fit this myself, the Youtube video loooks straight forward...

Thanks all, I've jut been watching youtube, looks good, it does require maintenance 'Adey MC1 MagnaClean Protector Liquid' £19.99 at Wickes, any idea how often it needs to be replaced, I guess a bit depends upon the system? I'm guessing you can use this on Microbore, that goes to a manifold...

Thaks for that, I'm not a plumer, so I don't know that much, but I had a feeling that it went via a manifold. Is there any In Line Inhibiter I can put on the Pie out of the boiler, not sure if that is 15mm or 22mm, but I guess you can different sizes Maybe something like...

Hi Guys, Hope you can advise, I'm looking to buy a Bungalow and it has 8mm Microbore, I've read some of the information on the web and it looks like it's OK, question is, should I flush it through or get a plumer to flush it though for me. Should I put Fernox or similar in the system? Is...

Thanks for that, there are a couple of timber floor specalists in the area, I'll take my spare piece of flooring there and see what they say, maybe they do an oil touch up kit? As the scratch isn't that deep I'm not concerned with filling it, just getting good colour match, unfortunately it's in...

Hi, We had an Engineered wooden floor layed @ 5yrs ago and it's lovely, unfortunately there was a tiny stone on some furniture and now the floor has a scratch, I would say 1mm deep @ 6"" long, can I repair this myself? The floor is oiled rather than waxed. We do have some furniture wax that we...

Thanks, I see you can get that at Amazon, might see if I can get it locally first Steve

Thanks for that. When the decorator did it, I think he used Dulux Gloss, I was thinking of something that might last a bit longer, the Ronseal one says 10 years, I think that there is a 7 year version as well, but I find it hard to believe that any paint would last that long. The front of the...

Hi, I had my house repainted 2 years ago now and the guy did the front door, frame around it and the windows next to it, these are all wooden frames. The paint is looking tatty again, so I can do this myself, I was wondering what paint to use, I did find Ronseal Weatherproof 10 Year Exterior...

Thanks for that, not that it matters just for a replacement cylinder but I measured the distance from the centre of the rim to edge of the door and it's 40mm. The Yale P1109 arrived and half way thorough fitting it, my wife mentioned that it doesn't match due to the rest of the door furniture...

Thanks, to be honest the problem doesn't happen that often, I've ordered the cylinder, will that be easy to fit?

Hi, I have a wooden Framed front door, it has 2 double glazed panels (1 top and 1 Bottom), I would like to replace the door lock, we have 2 locks, the one I want to replace is a Yale cylinder lock (The other is a 5 lever mortice lock), i'm not sure what to get, on the inside of the house the...

Yeah, I did think about that, it means that the writing would be at the back. Ror the time being I have removed to rod from the small button to stop it catching and falling off. I was wondering if it was possible and if so easy to remove the small button to see why its happening?

Mine has only got 2 lungs, I did try to turn it around, but couldn't, let me see if I can take some pictures

Hi Guys, I have a problem with my Ideal Standard Dual Flush Valve, at first I thought it was the button, rather than the valve. The problem is, when I press the small button (presumably for a short Flush?), the button stayed down and the Bit of plastic that has the teeth on it fell out. I have...

Actually, I think I have it sorted. Adjustable Bracket http://www.wickes.co.uk/invt/165026 And I can get the shelf a bit cheaper at wickes as well http://www.wickes.co.uk/melamine-white-shelf-18x230x600mm/invt/533807/ Steve

Hi Guys, Hope you can help. I need a small shelf for my loo, I have purchased http://www.homebase.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=110&storeId=10151&partNumber=009070 But it's too deep. I might be able to put the depth, but I to get a hink that might look a bit messy...
