solid - concrete.

Laminate boards. Not the cheap stuff so Im hoping it'll be a little resistant at least.

Well behind plasterboard at least. Managed to stop most of it coming out of hole, and quickly turned off radiator feed and drained system. Got emergency plumber coming out to look at. Obviously, hes going to have to cut a hole in plasterboard to get at pipe in the first instance. More...

Confused. On the receipt it said yes (but nothin on the box) and staff in store said no. Been searching and the answer is it depends..... Tried a perm marker on one of them. Wiped off ok a few hours later. So do I need to seal or not?

A 'she'. But this time if its not good I get to kick off and not pay (or at least demand it gets sorted)

True enough. To be honest, it all needs another coat mainly. And the first guy tried to paint gloss on top of gloss which apparently doesnt work well. Nah. Havent seen their work. Maybe I should have? At least I can refuse to pay if this is crap.

One coat already done (by family member who made a mess!). Large living room (two colours split by dado). Large kitchen (same two colours and dado). Small utility room Gloss dado Gloss two doors Gloss window sill Gloss coving in living room/kitchen Been quoted £85/day which seems...

I've got same honeywell at the mo. YELLOW wire going into 1, BLUE into 2, RED into 3, and an earth. I've bought a new digital thermostart which just needs live and switched live. Assume this would YELLOW (live) and RED (switched live)? Neutral (BLUE ) I can just terminate?

Got builder building a conservatory. Glass three sides and wall the other. Wall is brick then breeze blocks inside. Do we have to have this due to building regs? It takes up a 'lot' of the space then. Builder did not make this clear at the time. If we'd known would have opted for glass...

Ok thanks for clarifying. Been reading the party wall explanatory booklet and I thought it was saying if you build a wall, in effect, up to the boundary then the neighbour could in effect then treat it as a party wall. But thanks for clarification.

Hmm but isnt this still covered as a wall build onto a boundary?

Hmmm. Maybe I've misunderstood but by adding a wall that runs up to a boundary it becomes, in essence, a party wall.

Was there when the houses were built.

Although, maybe it is because I am, in effect, creating a party wall? Is this true? Even though its not a wall its just an extra bit of house.

[/url] Been looking at the party wall stuff. Dont think it applies. Both houses are detached. The conservatory is being added to my house and does not touch his at all. Only thing affected is the wooden fence that forms the boundary (and thats attached to my house) which will be replaced...

yes of course that would be an option.

[/url] Well, I did speak to my neighbour who was not bothered either way. Happy for me to replace the fence with the wall of my conservatory. Forgot about guttering though - of course that would overhang a little I guess.

Live in detached house. The back garden fence attaches to my house and runs parallel to the house (in a continuation). So looking at it - the fence is on my land. Having a conservatory build and want to replace part of this fence with a wall (i.e. the conservatory). Can I legally do this...

Need to remove an interior door but I see that the hinge has got some sort of spring loaded chain between the middle hinge and the door. Perkomatic I think its called. I've heard I may need a special tool to remove this? Or can I just unscrew the hinges? And yes I know I need to...

Help. Boiler is making a funny noise and hot water seems to be leaking out of some sort of overflow. Its a sealed system I think - one big boiler and two small bits. Also, any hot water is not kept hot for long. Is it leaking away? Is the pressure too high or something? I can see a...
