Thanks for the link, never heard of them ! Will give it a go and try some. Cheers Brian.

I realise that is basically a commercial product but trying to get 'anyone' to do the job is really frustrating. I can accept an email response saying that they cannot help, just a polite response but at least six companies/shops/flooring outlets can't even be bothered to respond. We are rural...

I would like to have Altro Pisces laid over old ceramic tiles in our shower room. The floor has part large tiles and mosaic tiles in the shower area with a drain in the floor, no shower tray or cubicle. I want a unified look, warm on the feet so no more tiles. Shower area will be divided from...

Thanks all for the information. Looks like more detailed investigation is called for to see what is or is not there ! Cheers Brian.

A bedroom extension was built onto our bungalow in 1980 (well before our purchase). It is not the warmest room by any means (sorting the loft is next summer's job !) but I was wondering if Building Regs around 1980 would have insisted on cavity wall insulation ? Outer skin is brick with a...

Thank you.

I would like to have a rough idea of how much it might cost to have a concrete pad laid to park the car on. Ground is at the side of the house, basically garden soil, clay subsoil. Size is approximately 16 ft x 10 ft for the concrete. So roughly, how much should I budget to have the soil...

No tag that I could see but original paperwork from 2009 installation says 11.2KW. I assume it's the same.

Thank You, will not do it ! Cheers Brian.

Many thanks for the advice. All noted. Cheers Brian.

It was already installed when we bought the place. Unit is about 6 yrs old (Altherma LT), feeds 11 rads and 2 towel rails, Works perfectly OK. No idea what KH it is. Cheers Brian.

We moved into our 1970's built bungalow about 18 months ago. As a result of a kitchen /diner extension build I was wondering .... The structure of the bungalow is .. Outer brick skin 40mm air gap Building paper 12mm Ply 4” stud walls with polystyrene infills Foil membrane Plaster board and...

Many thanks, will do that. Cheers Brian.

In order to save the wife's sanity and my rising frustration levels help is required please. Last month we purchased a new gas hob for the new kitchen (extension and rebuild). We are out in the sticks and wife wanted "gas on glass" again. It had to be LPG compliant and choice is very limited. In...

We moved into our bungalow just over a year ago and I want to now remove a small rad in the utility room and replace it with a towel rail (far more useful). The c/h system is an 8 year old Daikin Altherma LT air/water heat pump set up and I was just wondering if there was any special procedure I...

The control unit for our Homefront electric blanket .. 5 pin ACHPFD Aug 2011 .. has packed up. No life at all, not a flicker. Changing fuse made no difference. Ebay chappie says if the unit is dead he can't repair it ! Homefront have no idea when a replacement unit will be available, if at all...

We are having a new kitchen fitted after the extension build. Rather like the look of the Magnet Alpine Graphite colour as it's not a solid colour but textured. Only problem is that wife wants it in a gloss finish, not matt ! Does anyone know of a similar grey textured finish that comes in a...

Thanks. All very helpful. Cheers Brian.

The opening is around 120cm and they are marked as "French Doors".

We are about to have our kitchen/dining area extended out onto the patio/garden. We were going to have 'standard' double doors fitted (architects suggestion) but the builders who have been to give quotes keep mentioning Bi-Fold doors. The doors will be well used as this is the only exit from the...
