Hi - I'm looking for some advice here. I had a new boiler fitted in the room above the original. The instructions require that the system is power flushed and a magnaclean is put on. A magnaclean hasn't been put on and the heating engineer says he has done a powerflush. However, on decorating a...

Thanks - I should say that i am putting in an insulated suspended floor underneath with 100mm PIR. If that makes any difference.

I'm getting conflicted advice on this and would like opinions - We're renovating our kitchen and I'm looking at putting in reclaimed oak floorboards which appear to be maybe 100 years old, they're old anyway. This will be over a suspended floor with pine floorboards one end and ply the other...

Thanks, any idea on cost?

Hi everyone, I'm wondering about doing a loft conversion slowly myself, as I'm being quoted 50-60k which seems so much more than when i got this done on my last house (18k). Would i be able to get a builder to put in the RSJs do you think? That way i could build up a really solid floor...

No, its concrete, just wet

Thank you so much! I spent a day very gradually turning up the heat every hour or two on the top oven and the same on the bottom oven and both are now working fine. The oven had been stored in a garage for six years.

Thanks, that video looks good - I'll watch it tonight. Here are a few more pics: I'm in the middle of getting a new roof so the yard's not looking its best right now.

Any thoughts?

Walk your dog

My new house has had the yard concreted over and it is sloped, which means the rain water runs to the side of the house. Over time this has let to damp in the kitchen so i need to sort it out and looking for advice. Why have so many people done this in the first place? Raised their yard with...

One of these maybe? https://amzn.eu/d/aHKM7Z6 https://amzn.eu/d/7Ieto6n

I can guess the answer to this but I was wondering if anyone has tried putting some kind of liquid sealant down the drain from (in this case) a bathroom sink? After 17 years with no problems my sink waste pipe has started to leak through the ceiling below. I can't think why. Its coming from...

Upon further investigation this seems to be a bigger undertaking than I'd thought! I won't be buying the house :)

I might put in an offer for a house tomorrow but it has a huge basement, which is intimidating as i know nothing about them. Is it an asset or a curse? My wife is convinced it would suck all the heat out of the house. Anyways, a bit of research and with doing the prep work DIY before getting...

:) I think I'm done for now. Manomano is selling a range of pipe covers now.
