Hi guys, Anyone know somewhere that sells black silicone sealant please? A store or online is fine but if its online then needs to have reasonable postage... only need one tube and most places that do sell it, the postage is usually double the cost of the product. Cheers

When you say rough fill any holes, is it ok to just use a general purpose filler or is there something specific I should use? I'm not taking big holes through the plasterboard here, just where the plaster has come off the plasterboard - about 4 inches diameter. Apart from the two holes...

Thanks for the reply mate. Further to the last question... i'm still imagining problems: The current connection to the freestanding cooker is shown below. Obviously when my gas fitter comes to install the new hob he will have to fit solid pipes as the current flexible pipe that I...

Hi guys, Just planning a cut-out for my new gas hob in the kitchen... The instructions state that the minimum distance from the back wall should be "A" and it later says: A = 60mm (combustible) or 25mm (non-combustible) I am going to be tiling the back walls with ceramic tile so...

Thanks John - I guess if i'm buying varnish then I might as well do all the joints with that if its ok? BTW "proprietary oil based polyurethane varnish" is a bit of a mouthful to recite in B&Q and I doubt they will have a clue so can you recommend one or at least a brand name... or will...

Oh and should I water the PVA down at all or just straight on?

Hi guys, Just about to fix my new kitchen worktops down and before I do I believe I need to seal the cut edges. I'm going to use colour fill on the top edges to hide the joins but on the bottoms of the joins and around the sink and hob, I have read on here to use PVA. Is there a...

Hi guys, just had a look in B&Q this morning for a downcut jigsaw blade for my worktop cut outs. Found what I needed but the packaging states it could cut up to 30mm depth. My worktop is 40mm.... Is there another blade that will cut deeper? I assume there must be as obviously other people...

Cheers guys, much appreciated - will get cracking on it.

Hi guys, Have just taken the old tiled splashback off the walls in my kitchen. Came off reasonable easy thankfully. I have scraped all of the loose adhesive from the wall where the tiles were but do I need to get every last bit off or will it be ok as long as all of the loose stuff is off...

Hi all, not sure if where all the gas chaps hang out so hope this is the right place... Just about to start installing my new kitchen wall units today (didn't have any previously) and wanted to check clearances around my gas hob which will be fitted by a gas fitter in a week... Looking...

Hi guys, Refitting my kitchen and need an extractor fan (over hob type). Was wondering if these normally connect straight into the mains or if they have a standard plug fitting and plug into a socket. (Obviously going to get a spark in to do it but just want to be a bit informed before...

Cheers for the replies Bon and Steve. Steve, not heard of an electronic high frequency strip light... do you have a link to one so I can have a look? (Just Googled but found nowt)

Right guys, new quandry... Current free standing cooker is gas. This will be replaced with a built under ELECTRIC oven and built in GAS hob. I understand that I need a registered gas engineer to disconnect the old cooker and then re-connect the new hob to the gas. Problem is I will...

Thanks for the input guys, much appreciated. Unfortunately new units isn't an option, would prove far too expensive and we only propose to be in the house another 2 years or so. After that we either want to rent or sell it - either way it needs a new kitchen but obviously we don't want to...

Hi guys, The wife and I have finally got fed up of our kitchen which is the same now as it was when the house was built 14 years ago. We have not wall units, a freestanding cooker that food always falls down the sides, badly sealed worktops so wated gets down the gaps, very little storage...

Thought the same thing myself :?

Looking great mate, can't wait to see more pics on the progress.

Not sure at the moment, have looked at both solid wood and laminate... Will this make a difference?

Looking nice. Were the worktops from the same place as the units (from the other thread?)
