I had a DG door fitted last year and the fitters fitted a cat flap for me. The cat flap is now broke and I want to replace it with a different type. The hole in the panel is the right width but needs to be increased in height by two inches. What is the easiest way to do this? The...

I want to tile around an Esse 300 inset stove. Do I need special tiles and adhesive to sustain the heat?

The instructions say to use a compression fitting on the 15mm water inlet plastic pipe. Can a push-fit connector be used instead :?:

I'm sanding the steps of my stairs with the view of staining them and then varnishing them. Got the paint off using a hot air gun and have now tried numerous ways of sanding the wood back to clean wood. Orbital sander takes ages and that's using "green" resinbond sandpaper. Had better...

ChrisR You won't believe this but I have a 10L undersink water heater that supplies both my bathroom basin and kitchen sink already. I plumbed it in myself. My option was to install a similar heater under my kitchen sink to supply it only or an instantaneous water heater under my kitchen...
