Hi all, I have trouble with paint peeling off my bathroom wall. Ive decorated it a couple of times but now all the layers of paint have peeled off (see photo). Obversely its best to peel all the paint off back to the plaster but what do i do next? It looks like the plaster was never mist coated...

Hmmmm. sounds like i need an electrician !

Seen a Vent Axia with a timer but wondering how easy is it to fit a live feed for the timer to work? My current extractor operates from a switch outside the bathroom door.

Just looked at that. was worried about the "2 speed " element of it. Would i need any extra electrics installed to use this? Also i have flexible ducting. Have you used this with the fan? Many thanks

Hi, I have a in line extractor fan in my loft which i don't think is powerful enough for my bathroom so what could i replace it with ? My bathroom is about 12ft by 7ft by 8ft high. It has a shower and bath. I run the extractor while in there and a little after we use it but still get...

I was going to leave the cable above the insulation as it is now. Would 2x1 timber screwed to the joists ok?

Hi, I'm going to partially board my loft of my 1900 terrace and wondered what is the best way to deal with the lighting electric cables which are lying on top of the rafters and insulation. The area I'm boarding is about 3m x 5m. Many thanks

Nice one, the old oven is hard wired so hopefully the circuit will be ok. Wanted to make sure otherwise i would get another 3kw oven to make sure i don't need a new circuit and extra expense.

Anyone help??

I have found the oven I want and will be getting an electrician in to install it. The only worry I have is my old oven is 3kw and the new one is 3.8kw. Bering in mind the electrics are less than 10 years old would there be any case that the separate feed would need to be rewired? The feed has a...

Thanks for the reply. The old oven is about 8/9 years old. We bought the house from an electrician who done the house up at about the same time so the electrics are pretty modern. The new oven is going to be the same but I will check the wattage and amperage against the old oven

I'm buying a new electric oven and was wondering if I need to get an electrician in to install it or can I do it myself. The old oven has its own trip fuse and I'm very competent with replacing like for like electrical items but didn't know if there are any regs for doing this. Many Thanks

Hi Thanks for the reply. I have no outside corners as window is flash to wall. No sockets on that wall and plenty of finger room for the taps. Have you any ideas on how to finish the top edge of the tiles?

Hi. I want to tile over my existing splashback in the kitchen. The area is 30cm by approx 110cm. It will be difficult to remove the tiles because of taps and a window. The existing tiles are firmly stuck to the wall and the tiles are small (75mm by 150mm). I know I have to degrease the tiles...

Read on here that it's a good idea to put over the frame

Hi all I have just finished my deck and have noticed that after rain I have water collecting under the deck. Before I laid the deck boards I put the garden membrane over the deck frame, not in the gaps of the frame and that's where the water is collecting. Will this be a problem or do I need to...

Hi, Can anyone give me advise on how to treat my new deck and what products to use? I don't want to stain it a colour as i prefer a natural wood colour. Many Thanks

No. Didn't think I needed too as wall was only 3 foot high and only separated 2 parts of the garden.
