Hi Dan Thanks for your replies. Do you have experience with a salus model? From reading the manuals, I think I understand how to set it for her needs. I've seen you can set 6 program times for each day, do you know if I need to set all 6 programmes for each day or could I just set say...

Hi Dan, Thanks for your reply. The video is basically showing the same as the user manual shows. I went through the program settings and had a quick play around. Silly question, the temp that you enter, is that the temp that you want the room heated to? And will the boiler switch...

Hi all, My mother has just had gas central heating installed and the installer has put in a Worcester Bosch Greenstar 24i junior combi MK IV boiler. He has also installed a Salus ST620WBC wireless thermostat, yet neither my mother nor me can seem to find out how to program it to suit her...

Hi foxhole, I have to have sliding doors as there will be a cot infront of the wardrobe so won't be enough room for standard doors to open. Did b&q make yours to measure? Or are standard size? Problem I have is, because it's a garage conversion, the ceiling height is low at only 1990mm...

They look good foxhole, How did you go about making them? I'm not very diy savvy :( I'd like full mirror like yours as they should make the bedroom look bigger (its a converted garage) but with oak surround as the furniture and bed are solid oak. I'd happily have a go at making my own...

Sorry for the late reply, I've been working away all week. In the end I just ended up screwing the joist as far into the wall as possible, although its not reaching the breezeblocks, the shelf is holding fine as the 2 ends are screwed into the breezeblock so are solid and the wardrobe has 2...

Hi all, Today I've started to build some built in wardrobes in one of our bedrooms but have come across problems already. The bedroom is a converted garage. I'm looking to fix a baton to the wall as a support for a long shelf, I went to B&Q and got some 10mm x 135mm long frame fixing...

Thanks for your reply foxhole Are them pictures of wardrobes you have done? I was looking at sliding doors but seemed to be priced around £1000 for size I'd need so was thinking of using a curtain pole and voile curtains. Reason is I want to keep costs as low as possible due to a baby...

Hi, I'm looking to build some built in wardrobes in our main bedroom. They will be of a decent size, roughly 2.8m long x 2.3m high x 24" deep. What would be the best wood to use for the internal structure? MDF? If so, which thickness would you recommend to help prevent bowing etc...

Thanks rob5, Didnt think of the aluminium channel things so will look into that. The high shelf will be fastened to all 3 walls as well as having 2 upright supports, I'll also use some long shelf brackets fastened to back wall at different intervals along the shelf so this should hopefully...

thankyou for your replies, Ill have a look around and see what I can find. I'll look at the wickes master range as well as the dulux trade range. I've never seen the leyland or gliddens ranges, where are they available from? Andy

Hi, I'm looking to redecorate our living room and master bedroom. The walls are going to be wallpapered but looking for some paint for ceilings, doors and skirting boards. I'll be using gloss for doors and skirting boards and likely matt for ceilings. I've been told that the wickes...

The bedroom is a converted garage so doesn't have a loft. It does have beams up in the rafters but no way of finding where they are without drilling hole in ceiling to get mirror and light in. Thinking I'll go with a high shelf, supported from the 3 walls and 2 uprights, effectively...

thanks for the reply foxhole. I'm starting to think that dividing the wardrobe up into section with upright supports is the way to go. It would mean that to fix the uprights to the floor, I would have to screw them into laminate flooring with brackets. This possible? As you can probably...

Thanks for your reply. I should have been more clear, I also plan on having 2 or 3 full length shelves along the bottom of the wardrobe which aren't a problem as they will be fitted using shelving brackets, but it does mean that access to the floor for supports isn't possible. One idea I...

Hi, I'm looking to build a large built in wardrobe in my master bedroom. The wardrobe will have 1 long clothes rail, approx 2.7m long. The problem is supporting the weight, obviously I'll need 2 or 3 supports along the length of the rail to prevent bowing. The end supports are not a...
