Wall cuboards

Hi, sorry this might be a bit of a silly question. We are fitting a kitchen and had planned for the wall cabinets to line up with the bottom of the cooker hood. Stupidly forgot to account for the cornice on the bottom when fitting, so I'd like to move them up 20mm. Question is as it's such a...

Hi, we have fitted a new kitchen and wanted to install LED striplights inside a couple of wall cabinets, as plinth lights on base units and under a worktop on the island. The wiring has been put in place by an electrician but we are installing the lights. Can you buy one large roll of...

Great that certainly helps as you've experience of what it was like on a one pipe and then the two. Did you have all the existing pipe work taken out or was just an extra feed added. My plumber only mentioned adding in an extra pipe, but as he is having to take up all the floor to do that I...

You guys like to make assumptions!! I'm just looking for some facts so I can make a properly informed decision, I like to understand why something needs to be done a certain way than just be told because.... What I've read on the internet was a couple of years old and a lot of it was...

Our house has an old boiler and imperial rads and although it is all working well at the moment we thought it will eventually need replacement so would be a good idea to do it now before we redecorate and put in carpets and flooring (whole house needs doing) A plumber came round yesterday and...

I don't feel confident enough to mess about with pipework, I'm guessing it would involve welding? Would it be a bit pricey to get a plumber to do as it would be about seven radiators to change and they will be done one at a time, as we decorate each room?

We were looking to replace our radiators as we decorate each room as they are looking a bit tired and the ones upstairs are only single panel, but they are imperial ones. I have looked into what we can do and have come up with three ideas and was hoping for some advice on which people think...

That's not a bad idea but we aren't going to be able to get the house done before it gets cold again. Would it be damaging if the new rads had the same sludgy water running through? Should I maybe get a powerflush done and then replace the rads one at a time when the rooms get decorated?

Hi, I'm looking for some advice. We've moved into a house which needs complete redecoration and eventually the replacement of a very old boiler (probably in about two years depending on funds). As we are decorating each room we were also thinking of replacing the radiators (they are being...

Thanks is there anything a bit more decorative that could be used as the cupboard will be open?

I have an in built cupboard which I'm putting shelves in and it will also need a top. The walls were re-skimmed and now cover up to the wood on the right hand side and back of the cupboard so the top does not have a lip to rest on (front and left side are fine). What type of wood would...

I'm preparing some doors for painting and I've spent ages trying to sand them flat but there are still lots of brush marks from when they were previously painted. I will be using sikkens rubol BL satura to paint them is this likely to self level over the previous brush marks? It does seem...

Looking on the sag calculator MDF seems more likely to sag, would thick plywood be stronger couldn't see it on the list?

Thanks for the idea's I like the sound of using scaffolding planks and will look into that. 18mm MDF might also be an option, would that also only need batons down the side? I think a free standing shelf unit might be quite difficult for me to make relative to putting in some shelves. We...
