Many thanks, that worked superbly.

Hi all I've read loads and watched youtube vids as to how to paper. I now have my walls all prepared and am ready to start. However, the paper my other half has decided on has a pattern which does not repeat it's self across the width of the paper. My room is an odd sort of shape, while...

Many thanks

Hi all I want to re-point around my brick fireplace. I had a bag of ready mixed sand/cement that I needed for another area, however that was no good as when it dried, it was very dark/brownish/grey. I appreciate I will probably need to experiment with the mix to get the colour I want...

Hi all I've read various instructions around the web about how long you have to wait after re plastering before you can wallpaper. Have read about having to wait up to 6 months :shock: I presume this is talking about if you've had the whole room replastered. In my case...

The one in my hotel at Disney World Florida was like that, water nearly to the top. Personally I didn't get on with it as whenever I wiped myself, I always ended up touching the water with my hand (something my wife could never understand when I complained about it)

Without wanting to be too disgusting, I have no problem with sometimes having to flush twice after a large poo. Where I have a problem is, if you pebble dash the pan, flush, a good few square inches of pebble dash remain where the water is simply not hitting that part of the pan, you can...

Hi all Have a Roca toilet that was put in about a year ago to replace our old two part toilet (cistern on the wall). I really wish we had kept the old loo. The old loo might have used more water in theory, but one flush and it was clean. The Roca seems to miss certain parts of the...

Not if I brought it no :D Very happy with the Megaflo performance wise. Have two immersion heaters in it. The bottom one (the one the thermostat pictured was in) goes on nightly on economy 7 for a couple of hours, never had a problem with it in the 2 + years I've owned it. The top one...

Hi all. Today we had only luke warm water (all electric house) so I had a look at the immersion heater. The live connection of the thermostat was burnt (as per attached pic) and about 2 cm of the live cable had melted. I fitted a new thermostat and cut back a couple of inches of cable...

Many thanks

Not sure if they will, but thanks anyway. Problem is, I want to have the downpipe against the far wall in the photo, then turning 90 degrees to the right to go along the back of the house wall following the white pipe to the drain. As these walls are 90 degrees to each other, unless I'm...

Hi all I want to put some small size guttering on my workshop. The downpipe will roughly be where the red line is in the pic below. But I will need a 90 degree bend and cant find them anywhere in the small minifit type guttering. Any suggestions please? Thanks

Many thanks for everyone's response. I don't disagree that in an ideal world, a professional job is the way to go. I don't doubt for one minute the expertise and competence of you guys posting on here. But at the same time I have seen some very shoddy work by so called professionals...

OK here goes My consumer unit had no RCD, was half hanging off the wall and had old type fuses that had fuses inside the fuse rather than fuse wire, and a separate very old fashion fuse for the immersion heater (with modern wiring). The house has been rewired at some point as there's...

Many thanks. Not very loud lol. I'll take off the lath and plaster above the doors tomorrow and see how much light it lets in. I don't expect it to be bright and sunny but at the moment I have to turn the landing light on in the middle of the day to see where I'm going (long landing)...

Hi all I have no windows in my landing and it's extremely dark. The Bathroom, toilet and 2nd bedroom are all created with lath & plaster partition walls made from 3" x 2" timber. I have around 19" of lath and plaster walls above the doors. Am after some general advice on the...

Many thanks

Hi all I need to get an extractor fan fitted into my bathroom ceiling. I came across this at screwfix http://www.screwfix.com/prods/25652/Heating-Cooling/Extractor-Fans/Manrose-Showerlite-In-Line-Chrome-35W-Shower-Fan-Kit Is this supposed to replace the main bathroom light or is it...
