Damage to an engineered floor I take it as opposed laminate. I guess I'm finding it hard to get over the draw of *real* wood though, I just loves the stuff I do.

Oh and what's this warm roof cold roof stuff? I don't fully get that, or actually, at all...!

So this noise thing which is in another thread on here, that's just bad luck and very rare then? Think I'm tossing up between fibreglass and felt at the moment. Guessing I'll just look at the checkatrade type places for those with the most reviews or most established :/

Ooh great stuff, thanks very much :)

Sorry, what's lvt?

It actually looks alright now, I've basically built those things from ply! The infills were quite small so it worked out fine :)

Because 600 wouldn't cover the appliances then due to pipework on the wall. I've pretty much done this now, taking a rather novel approach of slats attached to the main board (a bit like a bed) with the infills dropped (read wedged) in. Which has the bonus I can get them out but pulling the...

Evening everyone, In the recent heatwave our doors have been harder to close, due to expansion.. So we've both been pulling the door pretty hard!.. Result the handle is very wobbly, I'd say about 3-5mm of play... Can I I can't see a way to tighten this, that being the case, is it trivial to...

Hey guys, We need to replace four radiators, all imperial, and mostly ones a bit over 16000. Am I best to just get 16000 and use an extending union, or re-route the pipework? Also, the ones we want to replace just have these tiny little knobs on them, not like the larger ones with temperature...

Hey guys, We are having new flooring in our hallway, kitchen and utility area. One quote for this was around £1,300 for Quickstep laminate, and about £1,800 for engineered. I'm leaning towards the engineered thinking it's basically a real wood surface so I can sand and re finish if I want, and...

Hey guys, It seems the crazy rain last night was the final straw for my quite crap and old felt roof, so I need this replaced... I was going to go for fibreglass until I read some thread on here about loud noise and cracking. Am I best to go with traditional felt? Is there anything to make...

Seems to work fine now, which is good. Red wine stain another matter mind. :/ Clearly yet another reason to favour beer!

Oh and thank you for the reply. :)

I did wonder that when I posted. There is a record label called fuze, that's my confusion after a stressful couple of hours. Was a glass of red wine, which has been cleaned up as good as possible from the socket (and cream carpet, sofa and wall :( ) Also, to add to the complications, it...

Hello everyone, I spilt a drink from a table down a wall and into a socket. This tripped an rcd, so I switched off all other fuzes on this rcd, switched back on again until I found the culprit fuze. I have taken the face plate off, hoping the socket will dry overnight. If this still trips in...

Perhaps I have used the wrong terminology. Essentially the board will be a 600 deep butting up to a boxed in set of boiler pipes, and then will be 710 deep to go to the wall beyond this. So, I got a 3m board cut into 2m and 1m. I intend to cut 11cm strips from the 1m off cut and join those to...

Guys, I have a solid wood worktop 600mm deep which I'm fitting in our utility area. This will be 2m long and for about 1.5m I need to attach an 'infill' of 11cm. I was just going to but join these with pva or similar. A quick Google shows methods using bolts and biscuits. For this small strip...

Thanks, I'll bear that in mind when we do get the new lamps. I certainly don't intend to put any body parts near the lamp holder! Incidentally, my poor mum did this many years ago as a small child, so this lesson has been drummed into me years ago! Oh and pants, a bit of a fib there for...

Nice plan, I like that, I know someone who wouldn't thou! 2 or 3 core, not got new lamps yet, some spotted at M&S. I would assume most new stuff is 3 no? On a side note, some page I read said even when an inline dimmer is off the circuit is still live... I'm not that clued up on electrical...

Cheers, I did see these, but thought if its plugged in behind a bedside table it means it's quite a 'fixed' dimmer - the intention is in the middle of the night when my partner feeds our newborn it's bloody bright - so it's got to be easy!! Cheers!
