Currently doing a bathroom. Looking to tile right down to floor level. New laminate floor going in. What's the best way to tile down to floor level, and finish the wee gap where tiles meet laminate, given that floor needs to be "held down" at edges? Looking for as neat and clean meeting of the...

I had the same thing on a fabulous old Victorian banister handrail - lovely old beech, it was. What worked for me was Nitromors worked in with steel wool, left to soak in, then scraped - or should I say shaved - off with a very sharp Stanley blade held at 90 degrees to the wood, removing a fine...

Took out scabby old shower in recess. Originally had formica panelling. When took these off, found 1 side was sheeted in hardboard, 1 side in plasterboard, and 1 in ply!! Original job by Bodgitt and Leggitt, I think. :lol:

Plaster skim and then paint - you'll never have to paper again, and can change colours at will!

shower in full recess (3 sides) what is aquapanel?

Valtti do one that I have used - costs a few euros, but piece of p!ss to use. Only does their own colour range though, but good to give you an idea of what different colours might look like: http://www.tikkurila.com/index.jsp?cid=colourplanner&hid=1.1.1.3

Apologies if this question has been posted again (and again, and again!), but life's too short to trawl through all 19 pages of forum :lol: We lost some fascia/bargeboard in the Hogmanay storm, and what came down was rotten plywood with flaky paint, and some of it appears to be the dreaded...

Brilliant idea - thanks for your help. Cheers.

Prof... it's a big system (12 rads), and draining down through a rad leg will involve a lot of bowls of water, and potential carpet disaster! Bones.... dunno why I'd need to disconnect the filling loop - that's why I'm asking you guys! Can't see any other way of draining from the boiler...

I have a Vokera Linea Max floorstanding in our basement. I need to drain down the CH system to replace TRV\\\'s, but can\\\'t find a drain cock on the boiler. The filling loop is connected at both ends, and there\\\'s a \\\"dummy\\\" unused pipe connected to the front plate next to the filling /...
