    I have my cooker hood sitting in a run of wall units, as shown: Hood by rarara posted 28 Aug 2018 at 11:31 AM Am looking to cover the underside of the units to protect against splashes, steam (kettle sits under one side and we drink a lot of tea :D) and also bridge the gap to the tiles. Any...

    Corian Worktop - repair a small hole....

    Managed to drop a knife on my Corian worktop - pointy side on impact and its taken a wee chip out of the surface, few mm deep and about 5mm or so across. Any idea if I get the correct colour of adhesive if it is suitable for filling a hole? Only real advise I can see online is for cracks, and...

    Flexi conduit homemade alternatives

    So I am needing to relocate a wall socket a few feet and the existing cabling (from floor upwards) has just been plastered into the wall by the looks of things. I'd rather bury it in conduit when I move it. As is typical, a few months ago I threw out about 9.5m of 20mm flexi conduit :rolleyes...

    Thanks everyone - some good advise :D One last question - anyone got an opinion on Reina? (http://www.reinadesign.co.uk/). They seem to offer some really nice looking ones in RAL colours. Thanks

    Unbranded designer radiators any good?

    Looking to find a large vertical column rad, the type normally described as 'designer' :rolleyes: There are an abundance of unbranded ones on the likes of Amazon or Ebay which look ideal and are cheap (£150) and state 15 year guarantee. Are these worth buying? Or will the quality prove to be...

    Bolt and thread size that comes with replacement letterbox

    I am trying to determine the bolt size on something I am modifying as I need to buy additional nuts but other than it being I think M6 and 1.5mm pitch I am struggling. The only thing I know for sure when looking through my box of spares for a match is that it is the same as the lengths of...

    Interior window sill in white - but not UPVC

    Need to cover an existing woden sill in our kitchen and bridge a small gap to the new worktop. All I can see online are upvc sills but am not sure these are very scratch resistant and this will be seeing a lot of traffic, so are there alternatives? Needs to be white, ideally pre finished so not...

    Built in cooker hood for shallow cabinet - help!

    if I can't get a slimmer hood that might be the only option. Howdens deeper wall units are annoyingly 390mm which would stick out further than I would want - any idea if Howdens hinge position means I could use them on another brands carcass?

    Built in cooker hood for shallow cabinet - help!

    it's an Elica Eliplane so is supposed to be flush fitted to the bottom of the wall unit, which needs to be 320mm deep :cry: and not the 270mm of my wall units

    Built in cooker hood for shallow cabinet - help!

    OK, so our kitchen has been installed and I now have an issue. Hob is under a line of wall units - they are Howdens and only 270mm deep but I realise now that the Elica hood I ordered is 290mm deep :eek:. Had a search online and can't seem to see any that will fit in my shallow wall unit. Can...

    Venting outside - flue that can be fitted from inside?

    Last questions! For a tumble dryer and a cooker hood is a Cowl Vent and a Flap Vent both suitable? I want it to be as protected from the wind as possible, so would imagine that a cowl vent is best as it is more shielded (and can have a backdraught flap as part of it). Its unclear though if they...

    Venting outside - flue that can be fitted from inside?

    Sounds like a good idea, and also a good bit cheaper. One question though - do they all need to be face glued? It seems like an additional faff - is there nothing with a gasket etc? Thanks

    Venting outside - flue that can be fitted from inside?

    Actually, I can see there is a Greenwood FastFix duct which is 100mm - this would be OK for the tumble dryer, but the hood needs 120mm. Any idea of one that is this size?

    Venting outside - flue that can be fitted from inside?

    Had a search but can't find what I am looking for :eek:. I need to vent both a cooker hood and tumble dryer through a wall but the outside is high/unreachable. I need 4" flues that can be pushed and sealed through from the inside. Can anyone point me towards the item I need and stockists? Thanks
