I had my kitchen refurbished well over a year ago and never had any problems with the ring main which had been installed at the time until a few days ago when the RCCB tripped. With it are associated a number of MCBs so i set about looking for which one of them was responsible, and it turned out...

Hello, I know Thompson dont recommend their One coat Water Seal to be used for such purpose but i wondered if there was an alternative.Thanks

so would a heat pump dryer be better than a condenser dryer, which is what I have ?

Hello I have a flat roofed garage extension and have noticed heavy condensation on the above appliances.Basically I use the garage as a utility room because it also contains a washer and a dryer. Unfortunately it also gets rather draughty due to the fact the builders left gaps around the...

I used Floplast and it seems to do the trick, thanks

I have 4 very short length of guttering about a foot long which are attached at right angles to two main lengths of guttering at each end so that the rain water fall down the tiled roof rather than down a wall. It is set out like this because there are no downpipes. For the most part it works...

he was completely puzzled at first but will try and convince Topseal that some of the batch they supplied him with failed. He is going to refelt some of the adjoining felt from a pitch roof where he thinks the problem originated but as a separate job and we will try and claim that off our...

Original roofer called round this morning. it's not condensation rather water got through dislodged tiles on the adjoining roof of the main building and seeped under the felt. As the grp was laid over it by up to about a couple of feet up the roof , the water would have seeped under it all way...

it's a lot more than what ios showing on that photo ie wet on both sides, not just damp. If it were condensation all the insulation blocks would be damp as we as the joists

There is no other source of water ,just rain getting underneath the GRP

if the boards were saturated at the time of the cut that's all the proof I need

the section that was cut was saturated on both sides.The roof does not belong to the original guy, its mine and it hadn't been cut when it was the situation would have got worse because i had no idea what was going on

I have a 4x8 + single garage built 10 years ago and was persuaded to the GRP route for the roofing based on a 25 year guarantee. Unfortunately, when I had a new stove burner installed last Thursday, when the installer cut a hole in the roof to fit the flue he showed me the OSB offcut which...

thinking about it and as you already pointed out yourself , MFC cabinets probably make more sense as they are easier to clean, do not scratch and do not warp. I noticed that somer bespoke manufacturers such as The Wood Works use them as well but frame them and attach the doors with butt...

Do they have butt hinges attaching the doors to the frame therefore making them in frame or Blum hinges attached to the cabinet therefore making them in frame style?TBH I see little point in the latter as it's just about appearances

No, these things...

yup Shaker which I like .You are referring to in frame where the load posed by the door is met by the wood frame via two butt hinges? It just seems more sensible

From what you are saying a Howden's kitchen would serve me just as well as any German kitchen? The problem I had with the hinges was mainly with corner cabinets where on tow occasions a sure popped out sand left a door dangling The screw as very short so I just replaced them with longer ones...

I just had an estimate from a bespoke kitchen manufacturer and the total for the cabinets including pelmets plinth and cornices came to about £10k .Labour and quarts worktop would add an extra 6k. Appliances, sink, taps I would have to supply myself and they would possibly another £2-3 k...

The weather set to change .If I apply it today presumably I can wait until the weather gets better before applying Weathersheild on it ?
