There are a couple of flower beds that I want to grass over. So far I have dug out all the existing plants and raked over a few times. I moved here not so long ago so not sure what else is lurking beneath! It has been a pile of soil for a month as I wanted to see if anything is likely to...

i cant remember how much they charged extra for plumbing works... i would have preferred it to be replaced. as it happened i discovered the leak on day 2 of boiler installation lol.

thats interesting... yes it did leak and i did pay extra!!

well fingers crossed, i'm sure it will be fine! i think they've seen enough of me now lol.

When you say fresh water viaa the filling loop, he was doing something with the flue... I guess I won't find out about the central heating now until it gets a little colder.... watch this space!

Hi John, they did tell me also to keep an eye on it. Probably because I asked what I should be looking for to indicate there may be a problem whether be it with the boiler or with leaks to come! As nice as they were, they cost me too much money everytime they come round!! Ha ha.

I hope!! I can't possibly be that unlucky!!!

Thanks everyone for your answers. Had the boiler guys round today and it turned out the shower was leaking behind the control unit and into the wall! Taking into account I have only been here for a couple of months, my guess is that this was an ongoing and undetected problem. The...

bit of a weird question. basically im trying to keep costs down at the moment as there is so much diy to be done to the flat i have just moved into... prioritising what is urgent and what is worth spending on. the bathroom needs re-gutting as i don't really like the current syle however this...

ok, painted the bedroom and hallway matt. overall happy with the finish apart from one thing... i have a dog! very quickly discovered matt doesn't like to be wiped! ran out of paint so decided next hallway will be in silk which can be wiped. clearly with the silk it isn't as forgiving as...

Phew as long as any problems are apparent sooner rather than later. I'm in the process of redecorating the whole flat so I don't want to be in a position where it all comes undone later on down the line. I think maybe they checked the bath taps for leaks but forgot to check shower!

With the leaks, do they tend to occur pretty soon after installation or am I going to have to keep checking for years to come?

to be honest, i always prefer to be told the worst case scenario! its a good job i am running behind schedule on the decorating of the rest of the flat - otherwise that cupboard would have been used for storage... also, if the shower couldn't be used, i would have preferred them to mention...

i would have preferred if these things were mentioned. i had quite a few quotes and not one of them mentioned anything!! i am a little bit cross because after day 1 of boiler installation when the toilet issue occured, i did ask them to go through and check that nothing else that could leak...

the pump shower was already there. the shower seems to connect to the cupboard where the water tank is so i am assuming it has just been plumbed into the same water supply as the bath taps? it's nothing fancy just an old thing! i recently moved here so everything is still new to me!

He is coming tomorrow. I just don't want to be taken for a fool!

how to showerheads that are powered by pumps work? are they connected to the watertank? in which case something would have been done.

to cut a long story short, had a combi boiler installed to replace a water tank boiler. there were a few complications during the process including the toilet leaking due to the high water pressure. they installed a new valve which sorted out this problem (at my expense obviously). the...

Maybe I'm calliing it the wrong thing. Here is the link I have seen: http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/categories/departments/kitchen/19121/ This pic looks as though the panel is running across the length of the kitchen...

Hello. I'm trying to think of a quick solution to revamp the kitchen! It isn't too bad but I'm not liking the tiles! I know to do the job properly they should be removed... at the moment the previous owner has tiled over tiles and I know that when I start the kitchen properly, there are...
