I can see how that could feel. It doesn't have to be that way though. You can chose to let them get on with it and turn your attention elsewhere. For more; google 'detach with love'. Some people don't want to be fixed or controlled. I advocate letting people make their own mistakes or make...

I'm gonna have a look at the hinges and get back

The kitchen is installed and can't be changed design wise I wondered if an experienced kitchen fitter would say " ah I know; what that is you need to xyz" Perhaps it is adjustable on the hinge, reluctant to try without knowing what I should be doing. Or maybe it indicates the cupboard was not...

Really appreciate the tip TTC

Thanks for coming back so quickly TTC I am not an electrician ... but I'm thinking technically it could still get splashed ( although unlikely) I wonder what do the regs say about where zone 1 ends when a duct is involved ? My situation is that it would have to sit in the duct in the wall...

yes 100mm diameter. Thanks for suggestions TTC Both those options I have never seen before. The outside one looks like a monster ! The Ruck in I could not see the rating for what Zone. It needs to go in zone one.

Shower room adjustment going on. We need to push the position of the fan up because of the shower enclosure profile now clashing with original vent hole. Unforseen complication. Space is tight Vent is on outside wall I noted a Steeple 12v fan has frontplate dimensions of 156 x 156 Can you get...

Thanks for input. The kitchen is small and limited options for design. Its the way the way the door swings open after a certain angle of opening and really picks up speed that bugs me. It looks "OK" when it is shut

Just had a new kitchen fitted Howdens, soft close hinges, L shape layout One of the base cabinets (the corner unit) when I open the door past a certain amount, it picks up speed and ends up hitting the built in oven handle. The oven is at 90 degrees to the opening of the corner cabinet, 200mm...

I had a dripping shower valve once and turned out to be a bit of grit somewhere in the valve. My plumber sorted it.

Thanks woody It's hard to find data for that foam stuff

I had a workman in my loft and he discovered timbers from next door's loft conversion visible though 4 holes in party wall and rubble from where the stone/plaster from the wall had been blown off onto our side. Their house was last sold in 2008 and the loft conversion was done before that...

My regular plumber who is the same height as me managed to adjust all the legs with a grip. Tray now quiet. Thank goodness. Made my day. The question now is were they always like that or have they unscrewed themselves over time. ? I will be checking regularly from now on.

Smells can come from waste traps from sinks/baths and loos that don't have any water in them. For example due to evaporation after not being used in ages. As the loo is removed could that be the problem of the smell ?

Hi Tom I am not an expert. But hear is my take. Don't use feet because I have lost confidence in my riser legs and it's why I am here on the forum. If you have a read around you will see that bedding on mortar is a favourite method. As you have a concrete floor it should not be a problem...

Help ! Need some input from you guys Shower tray (install 5 years ago by tradesperson) has been making crunchy noises when I stepped on it. It's on riser legs. Walls on 3 sides. I looked underneath the tray and it appears that the legs at the back may not be supported and need adjusting. I will...
