Thanks gregers. Apparently it's equivalent to an Intermediate construction Award which does have some NVQ exemptions (Level 2 I think) but because it's only workshop based I'd need to be in the trade full time to be assessed on the job up to NVQ standard - which I unfortunately can't do just...

Thanks Sleepyhead, I've found a cab on Screwfix that I think may do the trick but if not I'm going to try track down the brackets as per your suggestion. Cheers Pete

Thanks big-all, that's really helpful. I thought my circular saw may be overkill but i'll give it a whirl in the knowledge that I'm using a tried and tested method! Thanks JohnD, will see if I can afford 14 of them! Gregers, I am intending on doing lots more actually - I just finished my...

thanks gregers, will do - measure twice, cut once! :) thanks noseall - have been looking at the Axminster power planer as I haven't used one before and trust Axminster's build quality. I guess that's what I'll go for unless anyone has any more suggestions of efficient ways to trim...

Thanks for the replies guys. jj4091 - tried that, still can't see one that'll suite - mostly brings up eye-level units. Diyisfun - not side by side mate, one on top 'tother. Total height is 720mm so actually only 20mm bigger than standard base cabinets... I guess going on bended knees...

Hi Symptoms, by 'out' i mean, when i pushed the 2 worktops together i found that they did not fit snugly, there was a gap of about 4mm between them and so i had to take my sander to the rounded curve of the masons joint to sightly change/soften the angle and reduce the gap.....does that make...

Hello, I'd like to replace my oven with a double under oven - the one i'm after is 72cm height. This is too big to fit in my current oven cabinet and I'm having trouble finding one big enough to house it. Homebase and B&Q have told me I don't need a cabinet, just a plinth to attach to the...

Hi, I have decided to replace all my internal doors. I have bought the new doors (solid, pine) and now need to hang them. Can someone please let me know: 1) the best way to trim them? (no idea how to secure them while I cut/saw/plane/sand!?) 2) the best tool to trim them with...

I have a similar if not worse problem with an Erbauer router I recently bought - when cutting the masons joints in worktops the depth stop basically doesn't stop the router from plunging further during my cut! I've tightened the screw handle as much as i can and can't move it when the router is...

got it on order. Thanks Technotim.

Hello all, I recently tried to use a 'Forge Steel' Kitchen worktop jig from Screwfix to cut 2 Standard 90degree Female joints and the matching male & bolt holes. The worktop was an Ikea one, laminated chipboard, that measured 620mm width. The problem I had was that when I came to fit the...

Hello all, My shower seems to have developed a problem last night - it's an Aquatronic 4. The pressure on the head has gone RIGHT down to little more than a trickle - to co-incide the 'overflow' (?) outlet pipe thing located directly behind where you connect up the shower head is running...

Hi Eeejit. I say a few months as I only moved in a few months ago so can't say prior to that. I haven't drained it in the past and have no idea if it was before i moved in. I have opened and closed valves several times as I have had 2 new bathrooms and a new kitchen fitted since moving...

Hi All, I got home last night to find there is no water, or at least a really small trickle from my cold water taps (bath and sink) in the upstairs bathroom. I checked the Cold Water tank and it's full up. The Hot water is fine. The mains is also fine as the Kitchen tap works fine. All valves...
