Just finished my bathroom project. I installed a new shower, with tanked walls and aquapanel. When grouting i used "Bal Grout" that all is says on the bag, which is greeny blue and states "suitable for swimming pools". Question is, when showering, i notice that when wet the grout...

I ride a motorcycle to work and each morning i must pass about 4 lollipop people working at Zebra crossings. Surely this is a pointless act? I think its safe to say that UK drivers are generally good at abiding by the rules of the zebra crossing without the need of a person dressed in high...

hi, I was going to buy a bamboo veneer from Ikea, yes the layer was thin, but after taking out one plank in the store and having my girlfriend walk over it with heels, it left indentations. That was only walking over it once, couldnt imagine what it would look like after a week, let...

This is my floorplan, ive done a few rooms before, but this time i want to have a flush floor merging from one room to the next Where would be the best place to start? I was thinking of number 1 as a starting point. Laying planks 90 degrees from the window right. Any suggestions or...

Hahahaa! :lol: I should have seen that one coming! heheheh We were both shocked, shes only small and walked over it normally. I feel sorry for anyone that buys that flooring.

Ah i see yes the stuff we have been seeing is about 1-2mm. Would you bother with a veneer? With just a thin layer on top i guess this stuff dents really easily? Had some Bamboo out in ikea (told you i was desperate) girfriend walked over it once and left dents! Thanks again

Thanks for the reply :) I didnt realise how difficult this could be, maybe im just fussy. We dont have many options (Croydon) just B&Q Floors 2 go etc all crap. Saw a few on google, just that they dont sell to the public. The hunt continues! Oh im looking to spend about £20 per...

Hey guys, Im in the market for new flooring, been reading posts on here, most on here rightly slag of B&Q Wickes and homebase etc. However there are no suggestion on where is a good place to buy? Where do the pros get their materials? Websites? Its difficult for the average DIYer to...

Just looking at these http://buy.maplin.co.uk/Free_UK_Delivery/PIR_Wall_Switch_45045_v2.htm Wondered if anyone has installed one and if they actually work? My hallway light switch is near the kitchen, and when stepping into the house at night i have to walk down the hall to turn on the...

One more please ;) Was looking at the house over the weekend, and instead of running the cables under the floor (concrete floor) and up the walls, i thought it would be better to run them up through airing cupboards into the loft, then down through built in wardrobes through to both the...

Just had a brain wave, we are also in the market for a small dog (in the next 6 months or so)! How do dogs and alarms mix? Do i have to buy pet friendly pirs, if so, are there security disadvantages to using these? Can i keep him in the kitchen and disable that sensor via the control...
