Damn. That will ruin the look somewhat. I had intended that the washer would be sat on the floor in the cupboard I'm not sure how stackable integrated washing machine and dryer would look or work.

Is there anything that can be done to make it fit? Or other options to look at from Howdens? Or - would it be best to get a Integrated Washer/dryer? But i would not know how to build that in to a cupbaord that was full height.

Hi, I had planned to have a Howdens "larder" kitchen cupboard and put the washing machine and tumble dryer in it, stacked one on top of the other. The more I think about it, I don't know how it would work. The cupboard is 600 wide and 575 deep. A washing machine is just as wide and...

bernardgreen - Thanks fo the advice. How much should i expect to pay for running wires and fitting the whole system to a house of that size? Thanks re the home insurance, yes definitely something to consider. Thanks.

We actually want the Burglar Alarm system. But thanks for the idea.

Hi Guys, We are in the process of renovating a house and build costs are getting a bit much. We ar hoping to find a cost effective solution to the burglar alarm. The house is mid-terrace. The front has a ground floor bay, 1st floor bay and then a velux on the roof. The rear has bi-fold...

Thanks very much. I did not realise that Vented required a higher pressure/flow than Unvented

Hi, I am after some of your worldy advice. I had asked a similar question re combi or cylinder, and have decided on cylinder but I am now seeking a bit more knowledge on venter or unvented and any other types that exist. Firstly, I am not installing anything, I will be getting...

Thanks all for the advice - really appreciate it.

Hi, I've done a search, and I've also hunted around the net and spoken to a few heating engineers. Very few people seem to be able to provide a balance pros and cons to the various methods of heating/hot water systems that are available. I am planning a house renovation will require a...

Thanks all for the comments The reason for the pre-fab is ease and cost, I was not sure if I could get the same extension for the same price.

Hi, All going well i will be the owner of a 3 bed terraced Victorian house, in desperate need of a refurb. The works that need doing are: - loft conversion (with a full width rear dormer) bedroom + ensuite - rear extension (4m wide x 3m deep) - knocking down at least one load-bearing...

Thanks very much. I'm in North London so probably on the higher of the cost-scale. The house is a terraced 3 bedroom (two floors) house of a reasonably decent size. The conditional report i imagine would go to some length to tell me that the electrics aren't dangerous?

Hi, I am looking at purchasing a house that is in need of renovation. How will I be able to tell if the house needs re-wiring (other than the obvious things not working). Our intention is to re-do the entire kitchen at some point in the future which we would probably want to co-incide...

Just in case anyone wanted to know... Blocked venturi - and the blue angled tap ahd actually won, so need to be taken off and turned by pliers.

By that do you mean the blue angled tap - or the vale with the screw or both? - I've tried but failed with those, as said above....

Hi danny. No idea, maybe because it was installed 20years ago? Could anyone please tell me how to top up the pressure? Many thanks R

Thanks Tony. How can i top up the boiler - to up the pressure to 1bar? Thanks R

Hi there, I'm back ... after a year of no troubles, following last year's mess, the Vokera has decided to play-up again almost a year to the day! There is no hot water or CH. This is a problem that largely largely just started happening, rather than a gradual build-up. Last year, the...

I was talking more of colour than grain. I just want to try and match the tones. I thought that would be fairly obvious. I'm looking to avoid products that when put on turn the wood orange. Also, seeing as light oak is a popular colour with bedroom furniture, and pine is prevalent, I was...
