Thanks Richard, I am tempted to rip up the chipboard and replace the flooring with 18-25mm WBP Ply, the first one I am doing is 1.8mx1.7m.. If I overboard, and then tile, I think there will be quite a step into the en suite. Thanks Again. Bob

Hi, I am redoing the en suite and main bathroom. Ripped everything out, had a fight with the tile adhesive, I won…. Now I am going to be tiling the floors, I have taken up the laminate, (waste of time laminating bathrooms, especially when you have small children). The chipboard floor...

Ok that makes sense. Bob

I have just replaced, and relocated an existing photocell. This is on a wall switch that once switched will come on at dusk. We have some patio lights that are on a second switch, that I would like to run off the photocell aswell. I have tried various options, but I can only get them working...

Hi, No switch not touched before, but I have found out that there maybe possibly a fault/short on one of the spotlights fot the garage, each has a transformer on, so I need to check them. They do power up for a minute, and then go off, does this sound like a faulty transformer? Thanks...

My girlfriend has lights that come on at night, by photocell. They were not working, so I replaced the cell. There is a group of three switches on the wall, one for the lights in the garden, and one for the garage lights, which when turned on the photocell clicks, and the lights go on, but...

Ok I went round and rebled the rads, most were coming out with clean water, but one was really black, is this significant? I really want to get this sorted, as the pump is driving us mad.... Thanks

Well I took the cap off the pump, just a dribble of dirty water came out, put it back on, and this morning it was noisy as anything, I turned it off. The rads were hot, but you cound hear the pump from the other side of the house. I kind of regret fitting these TRV's now. I know they are...

I think that is the vertical one on the top of a bit if piping, if so I have tried that and it just comes out with dirty water, is there somewhere else?

Yesterday I put trv's on the radiators, drained the system etc, all straight forward. Refilled the system, and at first not all the rads were getting hot, turned heating off, balanced rads (from nearest boiler first) then bled, now all hot, but the pump is making a hel of a noise, unlike before...

Ok thanks, I will have a look. The kitchen was fitted before we moved in and have no idea where it came from. Thanks Bob

I got three pics....

Breezer, you are quick........ not it was not you, my bad html, fixed now. Thanks

Hi, We have one of our kitchen drawers that have broken, the front hs been loose for a while. I need to find the below fixing, I can not find one ( I will try and get a few spare) anywhere. Any ideas? thanks in advance Bob

We have moved our shed around 5 foot further into the garden, therefore we have an alcove, shed on right, fence panel on back, and to the left. Can I put a roof from the shed over to the left fence panel, thus covering the alcove. If so any suggestions about water drainage, as I dont suppose it...

At the weekend, our kids were having a shower, well to cut a long story, water ended up all over the bathroom floor, and started to leak down into the lounge, through the ceiling fan. We have not turned the lights on for 3 days (used lamp) tried them tonight, and all three of them flicker and...

OK it makes sense. I think he wanted to use armoured from CU in house, into garage. I will let him get on with it... Cheers 8)

Now I am worried, as every socket in the kitchen has two 2.5mm in them making the ring, how can I detirmine whare the garage supply comes from, house is only 6 yrs old...

Currently the td is in the garage, I wanted to have an extra socket to use for my bike charger, radio, etc as I have to keep moving the td fwd to get to the socket. The feed from the house is 2.5mm, I understand what you mean about where does it come from, all i know is it is on the kitchen ring.

How do you mean, this cable has been there since the house was built, it comes from the house into the garage ( the garage is staggered to the house but had 2 -3 foot joining the house) the garage is also on the kitchen ring main (tuble dryer goes off with kitchen power)
