    Extension Ladders for DIY - Which Should I Get?

    Hi Daniel, I ended up getting the Lyte ELT330 from Tool-Line here: http://www.toollineuk.com/product.php?section=&sn=LYTELT330 the price looks to be the same as what I paid - £109.99 which was the most competitive price around. They arrived much quicker than the stated delivery time so if...

    Kitchen sink mixer (Paini) leaking from handle and spout

    Hi, Our kitchen sink mixer is leaking from the handle and spout. The brand is Paini and the leak is on the left hand side which is cold. I removed the ceramic cartridge valve at the weekend, I think that the rubber washer nearest the handle is too compressed which might be causing the...

    Floor tile adhesive to use stone/self-levelling/porcelain ?

    Hi, Following on from my dishwasher thread - in the kitchen I've now tidied up the floor area where I cut out half of the cabinet and have applied self-levelling compound to the area to roughly match the self-levelling compound at the sides which was already there. The floor underneath was...

    Installing a dishwasher in a kitchen not designed for one

    Hi, I have a couple of full tiles and some part tiles in the cellar left over from the previous owner but I'd need to buy the self-levelling compound, tile adhesive and grout.. Would it be possible to just put down some kind of concrete as a quicker and cheaper solution, or is there a...

    Installing a dishwasher in a kitchen not designed for one

    Hello! It is me again, I've done a bit of careful hacking and I'm getting there now; the unit under the draining board is pretty much removed. My main issue now is it appears the kitchen was never fully tiled; it's only been done to just behind the unit base boards so I'm left with a large...

    Lead Lined Stone Guttering Leaking - Sealing & Permanent

    Hi alastairreid, Thanks for the response, is there a short term alternative to acrypol? What do you think the grey stuff that has already been used on the cracks is? Ideally if I could get some of that I should be able to seal temporarily until I can get a roofer next year? You say the...

    Hi, Our house was built in 1847 a mid-terrace in a group of four, it is constructed from sandstone and has stone, lead lined cornice guttering. Had some issues last year with a leak around the join between two sections of the stone gutter, directly above the front door. Water was dripping...

    Extension Ladders for DIY - Which Should I Get?

    Hi, Thanks for both of the replies! Hmm, Andy, how do you know the first section of the ladder comes off? Do you have one of these? I think, foxhole, I'm more on the heavier side so perhaps that particular ladder isn't the right one for me.. the Lyte ELT330 that I linked to above has a...

    Installing a dishwasher in a kitchen not designed for one

    Hi buck51 unfortunately if I don't get an electric dishwasher soon the manual one is going to go on strike! Thanks for the helpful post Burnerman (John). This leads me back to being interested in a slimline dishwasher, but my original problem of how do I alter the existing unit to accommodate...

    Boxing new boiler pipes in kitchen

    Hi, Recently had a new boiler fitted, old pipes were boxed in and looked okay but new boiler is physically larger and with the pipes in a different arrangement, so the old boxing had to be removed and now looks ugly as heck. There was simply a couple of battens screwed to the wall either...
