I am planning to build a cat tree/shelving unit for the corner of our kitchen. Its going to be 1.5m tall, 90cm wide and 30 cm deep. The idea being is that the cat can enter by a ‘mouse hole’ on the bottom right hand end of the unit, she then has a series steps to jump up that go diagonally...

Our previous owners mounted an old iPod dock on the wall in the kitchen that we never used, recently I filled the hole with a small section (approx 20x10cm) of plasterboard and used screwfix instant plaster to squeeze in and fill the gaps, then the same to smooth over the top with a plastering...

I'm refurbing the ensuite, I am not a professional but based on other work that the previous owner took on I knew it wasnt going to be pretty.... The tiles were not stuck to the plaster at all, once one was off the others could be pulled off by hand with minimal effort leaving no adhesive apart...

I have my red expansion vessel of my unvented heating system replaced by a gas engineer. He showed his GasSafe card and I assumed all was well, only afterwards upon finding him on the GasSafe register I see that he is qualified for 'vented cylinders' but not 'unvented cylinders' Is the...

This is most likely a silly question so please forgive me in advance.... In an unvented system, does the radiator loop just go via the boiler or is it routed via the hot water cylinder too? For example, if the water in the cylinder is cold, will this affect how quickly the radiators get hot? I...

I will be re-wallpapering two feature walls in my house. The walls are plasterboard and the old wall paper came off really well (thankfully!) The first room paper mostly peeled off in one and the parts left came of easily enough with a damp sponge and gentle scraping. The second room paper...

A couple of issues that I found with my heating system recently, water coming from the overflow outside led me to investigate the system and found the following.... The potable vessel on the cold water feed was full of water, bladder had gone so that was replaced with an inflation of 3.0 bar...
