Hi, I have a detached (18ft x 18ft)double prefab concrete garage that desperately needs re-roofing. I've had differing answers as to whether the current roof is asbestos containing or not, but in any case I have made enquiries on disposing of this safely and that is in hand. Now, I've had...

Hi, We've a nice new sink with a click waste. I can't figure out for the life of me how to remove the cap to clean underneath it. Any ideas?

Thanks :P Presume when joiners fit kitchens they leave a bit of a gap if they know an appliance is going in there?

Bugger :cry: So the chances of me sliding a 600mm machine into a 600.5mm gap are slim to anorexic..... On a built in machine, will the door from a 600mm cupboard fit on the front panel? Sorry if these a stupid questions, but I know nothing about units or dishawashers!

Ugh - I feared that. I presume built in dishwashers are designed to fit without removing the carcasse of the neighbouring units?

Hi, Following on from my last post, we're looking to buy a dishwasher in the very near future. One thing has occurred to me though..... I'm going to remove an unused 60cm floor cupboard to house the dishwasher. Will this be OK for a full size (60cm) dishwasher? Or is more space required...

As ever.....Thank You much!

Oh..... so a dishwasher only requires a cold supply? :oops: In which case I've got one already :D

Hi, We have a spare drain and spare cold supply under our sink from the old dishwasher. When we got a new c/h supply, the plumber asked me if we'd be getting another dishawasher to which I said no. A few weeks and serveral sink loads later, we've changed our mind. So....rather than having to...

Just getting some estimates for some new windows and doors. The most attractive estimate so far has come in and includes windows and doors incorporating Fuhr locking systems. Does anyone have any opinion on these?

Thanks guys. After I posted the topic I got a second email from the guy and turns out he mistyped the estimate - he hit a 9 rather than a 4 :oops: :P :P :P :P

I need a room that's 2.5m x 2.5m boarded and plastered. I'm advised it will need taking back to the bricks, battening and boarding/plastering. I've had a quote from a local guy who says he would cost £950 (inc materials) which seems mighty steep...

Thanks very much for the reply. I'd like to stain the floor as we've lived with "natural" lacquered floor in our current house for 7 years and fancy a change. I do have some experience with staining wood having refinished a teak dining table a couple of years ago with decent results. I'm...

Anyone?

Hi, So, I've got the drum sander and edging sander hired for the week. I've got a few queries that I've read mixed opinions on.... What's the best method for filling gaps and imperfections? I've read about wood filler, dust mixed with resin, dust mixed with PVA, dust mixed with stain or...

Hi, We're installing a new bathroom and the plumber has specified he is going to replace the original 1930s cast iron soil pipe that runs the height of the house with plastic to the ground. Is this the done thing? As far as I can tell there's absolutely nothing wrong with the cast and it...

4inch I'm thinking cross battening it with 4in and then flooring it with 18mm pressure treated contract flooring (8x2) would do nicely.

You've lost me.... I need insulation up there because I don't want my hard earned cash to spent on heat going out of the house through the roof..... I don't need a loft specialist...I want to do it myself. The guy I had advice from is a friend of a friend who was doing some other work for...

Purely storage. I intend to have a Fakro loft ladder installed before starting the job...
