Hello, my bath edge angles towards the tiles on my wall which is making water run towards the tiles and sit on the silicone, This has caused a problem especially in the corner where the two tiled walls meet as the water runs towards the tiles and sits in a small puddle on top of the silicone...

Good stuff, thanks very much for your replies!!!! :D :D :D :D

Eh...up folks!! My mums house is heated by her coal fire which does her hot water and radiators. She has an immersion switch (photo at bottom) which you have to use when the coal fire has not been on so that you can get some hot water. I'm looking to replace the switch with a timer...

Sweet!!! Thanks for all the help :D :D

Cheers for the response. The plug will be around a 1.5m away from the actual heater, i plan to put the heater above my door and run the cable around the door frame and in behind my cupboard and eventually coming out at the plug. Now that i can do this my next question would be can i use...

Hello, I'm looking for some help/advice with installing a heater in my kitchen. I've bought the following heater from argos: http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/0522375/Trail/searchtext%3EHEATER.htm I didn't realise that it didn't come with a wire and a plug, the...

Yea there is a flat above, i stay in a four in a block cottage flat. My dad also thinks that the water has come in from above, he's advised me to rip down the ceiling, let it dry out, treat the wood, see if there is any water coming in from above and if so, claim of their insurance, ( don't...

Hello, A hole has developed in my bathroom ceiling, due to plaster becoming wet from condensation from the shower, my flat does not have an extractor fan. How can i patch the hole you can see in the pictures?? I don't want to rip down the rest of the ceiling, i just want to patch it us...

Sweet, thanks a lot for your help!!!! :D

ok sweet, i'll just cut the pipes under the floor and then feed up new pipes to either side and put on valves. One last question, what do i use to connect the 8mm to new 15mm pipes so i don't have to solder?? Or do i have to solder? Cheers

Ok so if i do renew the pipes to 15mm under the floor, do i just cut the pipe under the floor or do i have to remove all the 8mm pipe back to where the main pipes are 22mm??

So if i cut the cold pipe and feed a new pipe over to the left hand side and put on a new valve in that side and close off the cold on the existing valve that'll work?? For putting in the new valves do i need to drain my system, when i cut the cold pipe surely water will pish everywhere?

[b] I can't just put in a pipe as the radiator is a new style one so the pipe cannot go along the bottom of the radiator like on my other radiators

Yea you're right there is no pipe so the water mixes straight away. if i don't put in a towel rail i at least want this radiator to work properly, would you just run some microbore pipe along to the left and put a new valve and then just get a new valve for right hand side or would you cut...

Hello, I am looking to replace the radiator in my bathroom with a towel rail, but I have a microbore pipe system. The radiator just now doesn't work well anyway as it's a new style radiator but with a one end microbore valve so the cold flushes the hot water basically straight away as...

Cheers for the responses i'll have a bash at it this wknd and see how it works out. I'll even try to get some photos of the job he's done uploaded so you can really judge the efforts. Cheers :D

Richard thanks for the post. He was there for two days to do a relitavely small hallway and ceiling. One of the walls was back to the brick so he had to do several layers he said on that which was the most time consuming wall. All in all it's cost the best part of £530, where i paid...

Cheers for getting back to me. The plaster does stick out quite a bit past the door frame, by a good few mill in places even a bout 1cm around one door. I take it i have to knock all the plaster off the door frame cause it won't stick long term anyway, will prob fall off when i try to nail...

Hello, I've just paid to have my hall plastered and the bloke has, well i think he's made an arse of it. I've small dimble bits everywhere, they actually like like air holes. I took off my skirtings and door surrounds and he's plastered over the wood which is now falling off as plaster...

[/url] That article is quite interesting.......might just show that to the burd to put her off and just put in a normal light!!!! Try and convince her she'll be burning down the flat and killing the neighbours
