Hi Noticed last night whilst my daughter was in the shower that there was a loud high pitched squeal / whistle coming from the airing cupboard (or in the loft above the airing cupboard) Once the shower was turned off, the squeal also stopped. Shower is a mixer shower. We have a hot water...

My house is about 8 years old and I had a patch that was VERY VERY squeaky / creaky. I cut out a small section of the chipboard where the squeak / creak was happening. I used some 4 x 2 to brace between the joists, then glued and screwed the piece back down. Also, with an old small...

We had Amtico fitted last March in our Study, Hall and cloakroom. Floors are concrete and we screeded before the Amtico was fitted. As this is our first full winter with Amtico, I have noticed that the hallway especially is cold underfoot. When we decorate / sort out the kitchen we were...

Impossible, PIR in corner of room, with a doors on each wall near the corner.

if the floor is not quite level can you set the tray on a mortar bed and level it in the mortar

Thanks RF

I know that but at 11.40pm in the evening I do not want to wake up my wife and daughter. Thanks anyway!

Hi I want to permanently (well for the next 2-3 months anyway) disable 1 zone from both PART and FULL sets. Basically, we have brought the rabbit in from the cold weather (only 8 weeks old) and are housing him in his hutch in the dining room. We have a Veritas R8 (the one with the...

Jeez, thanks very much!

I am making a more sturdy roof for a rabbit run, to keep out cats and foxes etc. I would like to paint it the same colour as the hutch / run. My question is, what paint is suitable for rabbit runs?

Hi I am after some advice on the best materials / products for weatherproofing a flat plywood roof. I want to replace a mesh cover for a rabbit run with a solid plywood roof to stop cats and such getting into the run. I was thinking of getting some exterior grade ply and making a roof with...

Hottest is the flow, coolest is the return. By the way, you have posted this in the electric forum???

not sure about Kardean but I can tell you how much I paid for having Amtico fitted (guess the installation is probably the same) Bathroom 1, about 2 square metres - £150 (minimum charge) Bathroom 2, about 2 square metres - £150 (minimum charge) Downstairs hallway, cloak room and study...

What size property? I pay £177 per month for both Gas and Electricity. 4 bed detached Gas conventional boiler with 12 rads PC is on from about 4pm until 10.30pm almost every day. Electric oven is used twice a day (once for my daughters tea and then again later that night for ours...

Isn't it normally the preferred practice to connect exterior lights to the light circuit, not plugged into a plug socket? What I did when I fitted my external light, is take a spur from the bathroom light. Ran a cable to a FCU, then through the house wall into the light. You can then...

How has it gone, have you laid it yet? We had our ensuite done on Friday. The guy put ply down first, made a template on some brown paper then fitted the ply. then he put some sort of screed all over the ply to fill in the screw holes / joins. Then he sanded the whole area before putting the...

not sure what type of fitting you are changing it to, but all I have done is connected the switched live, neutral and earth (if required) to the new fitting and fitted the loop wires into a terminal block.

Thanks, that is what's it on I think. I am going to re-fit and try and get it centralized on the drum pulley. Thanks for all your help on this one!

it is on the top of the motor spindle

Right, everything seems to be working fine, thank you very much. it was a right pain in the ass to get belt back on. The belt is not exactly centred on the drum pulley, it's more to the back and I think it's probably touching the drum. Will the belt centralize itself over time on the drum...
