I am converting a garage into a gym space. Size wise it's somewhere between a single and double garage. It has a horrible old artex ceiling that I'm going to have skimmed. There used to be a couple of old CCFL lights, which I have replaced with temporary pendants. My question is, is there any...

I understand that installing laminate over original parquet flooring is a bad idea due to moisture coming through the floor, getting trapped and blowing the concrete/parquet. However, if there is a DPM beneath the concrete slab, would it then be OK to put laminate over parquet? The reason I...

Thank you. I hadn't thought of wallpaper paste, as to my mind this would dry clear/opaque? As I say, I'm no expert so could be very wrong and maybe it's just yellowed with age?

Hi all, doing some decorating in our 1930's house and we've stripped the wallpaper and old polystyrene insulation off. There's a very thin layer on top of the plaster of what looks like yellowish paint which flakes off fairly easily. Doesn't look like it was for decoration. Somebody has...

What do they do then? Does this mean I should be using the wall-mounted thermostat to control the central heating temp? i.e. turn it right down to switch central heating off? I do think there is something not right with the central heating as it comes on briefly, as I say, red hot, then...

I assume it's a combi as there is no hot water cylinder in the house.

Yes, the orange mains light stays on. There does not appear to be a viewing hole for a pilot light, just the orange light.

Hi Agile, the problem seems to occur regardless of how high the boiler heating control is set. In fact I have tried it on all of the settings.

I am living in a rented house with a Worcester 24i boiler fitted. There is a thermostat downstairs and one on the boiler itself. It seems that no matter what we have the thermostats set to, the central heating comes on red hot before going off after a short while. This happens regardless...
