The skirtings are going to be wood. They are not being painted, they are being waxed and polished throughout the house. Mdf obviously won't work for that.

Hi I am prepping some rooms for plastering. In the past I have fixed a 20mm timber around at floor level to fasten the skirting boards to after the plasterers have finished. The plasterer then plasterboards down to the timber and skims up to level with it. Simples. This time, for some walls...

Yep. Was just heading back here to say that I'd found that one. Thanks.

No. Any help with the fitting?

I am fitting a cloakroom. As part of that I am fitting an Ariston Water Heater. In order to do this I need to fit a hotun to the pressure relief discharge. The hotun flows out into 22mm. My waste system will be 32mm solvent weld. Is there a product/fitting that enables me to connect 22mm...

I've just bought a Wagner 250r airless sprayer second hand on eBay. (In the next few weeks I'm planning to mist coat and then emulsion an entire floor of my house). I am nor ready to paint anything yet, but I did want to test the thing in case it didn't work too well. I set it up and...

.... So in the end what I did was: I had the tree surgeon back to stump grind and at the same time sort the brambles and ivy. We had to take down part of the fence on the other side of our garden and, thanks to a neighbour, bring a digger across his and my garden and in to the new piece of...

I recently acquired a substantial piece of next door's garden. I bought it because they had let it overgrow massively and it was beginning to cause a problem for us. I asked them either to clear it or to manage it or in the alternative I would take it off their hands and manage it myself. I had...

Okay. Thanks. I'll certainly look into this one.

Okay. Thanks. Can you point me at somewhere that can give me some idea how to do that please?

I'm going to get a sparky in to do the first fix for the entire job so I'm sure that if there is a potential problem he'll point it out. I guess if there isn't enough ... I'll have to go to three phase ... and then I 'spose I'll just "hafta" get bigger workshop machines :whistle::whistle:

Thanks for the clarification.

So I was right not to understand? Given that, as I said in my OP "The hot water in my house all comes from a large Combi boiler on the ground floor." This idea is not relevant to the situation here? I am guessing that "our" idea of using this, for the wash hand basin on the second floor was...

Okay. This I do not understand. There are no showers currently on the combi. There is a kitchen sink, a bathroom sink and a bath from the water side and of course radiators on the heating side. Could you please explain whatyou mean by "pipe shower back to the boiler" or perhaps point me at...

Thanks for all the info chaps. I think that this is the way I am going to go. It's smaller, it's more discreet, and it only uses power when it needs to heat water. A toilet and the second floor may well be used 10 times in a day and then not used at all for a couple of weeks. Seems to make more...

I disagree. The kitchen sink is right next to the Combi boiler and from turning on the tap to getting out sensibly hot water is about 30-40 seconds. Add that to the push through from the ground floor back to the second floor front of the house and we are looking at some time. Having use the loo...

Hi I am currently undertaking some renovation works on the top floor of my three-storey Victorian house. As part of this I am updating the toilet room on that floor. The room consists of a toilet and a wash hand basin only. The hot water in my house all comes from a large Combi boiler on the...

Yes of course it is. Duh. Thanks :)

Hi I am having my gas line replaced from my meter to my appliances, (boiler and cooker), by a Gas Safe engineer. Should he provide a saftey certificate with the work? Would that normally be an additional charge to the quoted job? If not, how do I evidence that the work has been done by a Gas...

Thanks very much.
