I bought a B&Q kitchen over a year ago and had ansolutely no problems, everything was delivered in one shot exactly when they said it would. Mine was ranged at the local store so no issue in picking up a few extras. For the money I thought the quality was good. Watch out for designers...

Good on you, that took some balls. Clearly a lot of natural talent there, good luck with it.

I could ask you the same thing...... I don't think the rest of the world has the same opinions as you for a start. If you look at North Sea production its certainly true that the elephant fields have been discovered and that we are unlikely to find others of that size. However you cant...

Seems that way. Ah well if it makes him happy....

I happen to be right. GLOBAL demand, not CHINA demand. I am privy to a more realistic picture of available reserves than most. Certainly more reliable gossip than you are privy to.

My 2 cents worth.... The general opinion is that the recent hike in the oil price is related to supply and demand. It isn't, last year supply exceeded demand by 1%, this year it is projected to exceed demand by 2%. Global demand is pretty flat at the moment. It is accepted that the only...

I recently had a combi installed and put in a mixer shower. I can tell you that compared to an instantaneous electric shower its a million times better! However if you have a pumped shower at the moment I think you'll be a bit dissapointed. The boiler can chuck out about 10 l/s of hot but...

I'm no plumber so take my advice with a pinch of salt but I think the vast majority (if not all) combi boilers are modulating. This means that they will automatically adjust the burner to keep the hot water flowing at a constant temperature. So you should have your hot water at a constant temp...

I have the Mira combiforce 415 and cant fault it. One thing to note is that its pressure balancing and not thermostatic, but assuming you have a modulating combi this will amount to the same thing.

When I bought a new Panasonic DECT to replace my broken BT Dect I thought I could just use the old BT phone cable for the panasonic and save myself the hassle of pulling the wire out from behind furniture etc. Problem was the Panasonic didn't work. Then I noticed that the supplied telephone...

Forgive me if I've missed something but the OP is referring to a WB 28i Junior which is not discontinued. The link leads you to the 28i RSF....

I recently had a new ch system put in by BG (flat previously didn't have any form of CH) WB24i junior, 4 rads, vertical flue. Cost was approx £4k. They weren't that uncompetitive compared to the local guys but I made sure the salesman was aware of the prices quoted by others and I think that...

Is there a difference? Is there any reason why you couldn't paste the wall and use a 'normal' wall paper? I'm a bit of novice at hanging paper, the only time I've done it was with paste the wall and it worked really well. Now SWMBO has chosen a conventional paper and I was wondering if it...

I recently purchased some super stain removing oxygel action kitchen cleaner which did indeed do a great job of removing stains.....and the markings from the washing machine control panel and oven. Pretty annoyed as there was no warning this could happen on the bottle. That and the oven is...

Indeed, though in fairness the front of the property is on a fairly busy road and would have meant closing the pavement for a time. But not impossible. More irritating was the fact that there is a 2m high wall at the back of the property adjoining a car park. He could have taken the...

No - I can appreciate that! The issue is is that I was supposed to be having a central heating system installed with a vertical flue exiting on a pitched roof. Problem was that when the roofer came round he reckoned (without actually trying it) that his roof ladders wouldn't fit through my...

Can you generally detach the 'hook' from roof ladders or is it only some that have this feature? Thanks, Ron

Pretty much as the title says, I'm having a boiler installed on Monday onto a lath and plaster wall. I took down a kitchen unit to make way for it and noticed that the plaster has seen better days. Is the most likely method to span a couple of studs with plywood etc? If so I think I'll need...

Reading that back its maybe not clear that I meant the shower will shut down if either the cold or hot water supply fails, not the boiler.
