Great thanks!

Thanks! All very useful!

Hi, Could anyone suggest a really good router and table they've experienced? I've only ever really done DIY woodwork in the past but making the transition to more professional stuff (simple cabinets and furniture) and so need something really hardy and long lasting... Thanks in advance,

Hi, I hope someone can help as just working on a new project and a bit lost! I'm making some large ply wardrobes and wondered if I should be worried about the ply warping. It would be made from Grade BB 18mm pre-lacquered birch ply. I'm mostly concerned about the doors as I'd like...

Thanks for your help. Refilled it and seems to be ok. Actually I'll be painting behind all the rads eventually and tiling behind another... Believe me I'm not going to drain the system unless it was essential... Wish there was an easy way to do it...

Hi I have a Vaillant Ecotec Pro. I needed to drain the rads to paint behind one. Although i still need the hot water. I shut off ch isolation valves, then drained the system. However, it's now coming up with an F22 'dry fire' warning and no hot water. On investigation I noticed one of the...

Hi I'm replacing an old fire surround for a coal fire. I just want to attach concrete board to the front face and tile it. However. The is no lintel existing and the metal frame (reusing the old one) opening is lower than where the chimney starts. Therefore there would be about a 5-10 cm gap...

Hi Londonboy. Actually, just realized the old 2BA screws are a bit too long for the new ceiling rose, if the offer is still there??

All finished and working perfectly already! Thanks very much everyone!

Thanks very much - will try that tomorrow. There are two black wires but assume that doesn't matter!? I think I'm OK for screws thanks - they are the one thing that didn't disintergrate! cheers

Hi, I hope someone can help? I need to replace a ceiling light with a pendant light. It's a hall light with one switch. The old rose was old and disintergrated when I tried to unscrew it, leaving the light as per the attached picture. Now I'm not sure what wires on this I should...

Yeah - I'm not too keen on it now either. There doesn't seem to be any neat way of covering it up either. The skirting is concrete moulded on the walls too and is badly chipped and damaged on the edges so just runs into the bitumen in a bit of an ugly mess - which I can't fill because the...

Yes it did - but I sanded in Feb and assumed it would have settled by now if that were it?

Thanks but I've one floor that's not been oiled yet and another which I varnished instead. The bitumen is oozing out the edges of all of them. It's a veeeerrry slow ooze though - just as though it's heated slightly or something. However, I can't think of any change that's happened to all...

I brought a property a year ago. It has 50ish year old parquet flooring which I've since sanded and oiled (hardwax oil). The parquet seems to have been attached with bitumen. This black stuff is bubbling up at the edges slowly. Does anyone know why this is and what I can do about it? I just...
