The one I use is from B&Q, its triangular in shape (Orange in colour) with retractable snap off blades, its easy to follow the contours of the room. Keep the blade very sharp and its easy! Only a few pounds too! Not sure of its correct name.

Hi All, Any ideas when I can get a small battery operated heat shrink gun. For heat shrink sleeving while away from the house. Thanks in advance.

Tried to get wall tiles off kitchen plaster board wall!! They will not budge without knocking holes in the plaster board. Any ideas? Please. :oops: :oops:

Thanks for your answer, but its not much use having a short flush if it makes a loud-ish thud and you feel you don't want to wake all the family and neighbours at night. (haven't yet that i know of) Perhaps I'll wait for any complaints, before doing anything! Just wasn't expecting this...

I also wondered if 'Capital Bathrooms' could through any light on this, as they were the supplier. (good supplier) I'll send an e-mail.

Hi All, Have just had a new bathroom fitted, including with the 'Vitra' Berwick close coupled pan & cistern inc. top flush. Question is....when the short flush is operated it gives quite a loud thump noise as the seal closes and shuts the water off. I asked the fitter who just...

Nothing I would think, just need some ideas as to how to?? Flashing, Material/wood, height above door, pre-made etc.

Thanks Noseall, some good shapes and sizes there! Was hoping for some plan type drawings/sketches as these might well be too expensive!

I would like to build an apex shaped roof over the front door of the house, not a porch, just the top section, but have no ideas as yet where to start! At the moment there is just a flat cement section jutting out from the wall at 90 degrees, about 30" x 12" ish. Maybe could utilise this...

Got mine on ebay, very good, just search for your requirement.

Wait till it's at least 2-3" tall. then cut the top off, but as already said not tooooooooooo short, or it will pull the new ones out by the root.

Thanks Dan. I remembered it from years back, a plumber used this idea and I've always remembered it, saved a few bob no doubt!

Cut a slot in the end of a piece of wood (approx 1" thick) to match the width of the spout of the tap and deep enough to hold the tap from rotating. Use about 18" + so you have some leverage. With one hand hold the tap spout steady with the piece of wood, now you will be able to put more...

Hi All, Could anyone tell me where I could buy a tuffspot, or builders mixing tray. Wickes say they don't do them any more! can't find them on B&Q! Its a preformed rubber tray about meter sq with raised edges. Don't want to pay the earth, maybe about £20 Thanks in advance. 8) 8)

Thanks for all your suggestions!! Yes we did have a conventional boiler before with tank in loft (expansion tank) and in airing cupboard (large immersion tank) As previously stated, it bangs when the stopcock is turned more open and when there is NOTHING being used, noticed more during...

I'm not tight, just a bit careful, just thought if they created it they can get rid of it.

Thanks for your help, Would/could I get BG to do this (FREE) as its a result of them fitting the boiler? Yes, the filling loop has been turned off and disconnected, also its set at about 1.5 bar. When it was first decided to have this boiler their rep said we have a good water pressure...

It has started since the new boiler was fitted, on the very day in fact!! We don't have any hot water tank! in fact NO tanks at all!. There was one radiator that he said had the trv at the wrong end as it was rattling like a good'un. this he replaced and has been no probs since. It does...

Hi thanks for your prompt reply. The boiler is upstairs and the banging pipes is coming from downstairs behind sink, dishwasher and washing machine, mains stopcock. As for not realising BG fitted Ideals, the fitter, who came to replace a pump (after only a month or so) couldn't find it on...

Sorry your ball is in for repair!! I'll help you out then. Lol. The boiler is Ideal Isar HE35. Condensing Combination.
