Hi Im after a table saw for general timber work, im renovating an old house. I could probably spend about £300 but couldnt justify spending more. Im keen on the site saws like the makita and dewalt ones, I know the budgets already blown! I will need to store it for a lot of its life so the...

Hi, I am going to be tiling a small washroom floor, its concrete, and Im going to tile directly to the concrete. I have a new back door fitted one of these low threshold jobbies. What roughly would the thickness of the adhesive be once the tiles are bedded? Is it ok to tile straight onto...

I need to cut a brass curtain pole and wanted to use my Dewalt mitre saw so I get a really neat straight cut. It has the original TCT blade on it will it work or will it f*k the blade? The pole is a 100% brass traditional style pole, its NOT plated steel etc Cheers

great thanks. Crank39 I think you helped me out with the wedges! cheers

Hello, A lot of the top hung windows on my house close tightly near the handle but not at the top. Some are so bad there is no squeeze on the seal and air leaks. Its an old house with a mixture of PVC windows of differing ages but they visually look good and the DG units dont fog etc so Im...

Were specing our new sanitory ware and have chosen the bath a steel enameled Kaldewei from QS Supplies. Considering being a bit mental and going for a gloss black enameled version! Anyone seen these or any other black baths in the flesh? Cant decide if it would look stunningly...

I tend to use commercial products in the home thinking they are more about quality and life of product than looking 'designer' do you think RADA would be better than Vado in this case or are all the big names much of a muchness?

I am looking to use a diverter in a new shower room so I can have a fixed head and free handset. I have allways used Trevi valves but have found a company called Vado which seems to have all the bits I need and they have a 12 year warranty! I'm also considering RADA. Any comments, thanks?

yes the timer opens them or closes them depending if that circuit is due on or not.

The reason for the one thermostat would be to control downstairs in the day. Upstairs is a compact 3 bedrooms and bathroom. Teenager likes his room cool for sleeping and so do we so our rad stats are never above 1-2. The kids room gets heated a bit in the morning and a bit at night. We would...

If I have two zones can I use one room stat? the reason the upstairs downstairs plit came about was in our last house every morning before we went downstairs we'd turn the rad stats down so we werent heating upstairs all day when the rooms were empty. We have always been careful with heating...

I have a three channel timer, downstairs, upstairs and hot water. Hot water is on for an hour a day, we have electric showers so wouldnt use more than one tank a day, if were bathing the kids we'll boost the water for an hour. upstairs is an hour in the morning to take the chill off and...

another thing to throw into the mix I had my system split into a dual system so upstairs and downstairs are on different circuits. Does this make any different to the comments made on this post?

I have noticed that my boiler seems to cycle a lot, will the room stat stop this? Also I was thinking of putting the room stat in the living room/dining room as this is the main room used obviously as oppossed to the hall were it was in our last house. I would then allow the rad stats to...

At our previous house we used to leave the room thermostat on the max setting and then control each room temperature with the rad thermostat. The room thermostat was in the hall and we never put the rad on there anyway. In our new house (which is old) we put in a new boiler about 18 months...

Yeah I have, their Plaza suite is the Art Deco, finding Ideal is quite expensive over Twyfords though, almost making Sanitan a good deal.

Yes I think we will give Burlington a miss. Can anyone recommend any decent UK or European based companies, Ideally we are looking for an Art Deco suite but would consider Victorian style etc Thanks

. Burlington used to be a name on high level cast iron WC cisterns- I know where my bet would be placed :wink: What do you mean here? You think they must be a new company pretending to be old? Thanks

Hi, Im doing up a 1930's house which has some pretty horendous 1970's decor. Im looking to order all the sanitory items shortly and want to do this using traditional styles. There are several options out there I know, Sanitan, Twyfords etc Sanitan is a bit too dear for me Twyfords would be ok...

Hi, I am looking to replace my yellow 1970's bathroom suite with matching mustard carpet! back to something inline with the age of the house 1930's. I want a steel bath and want to use one of these double door bath/shower screens which completly encloses the bath (I have young kids!). I...
