I've been signed up to this in its various guises for about 8 years in two houses. Currently pay about 13 quid a month for the central heating and hot water cover, can't remember the exact figure. Have probably had occasion to call them out about 6 times in total, mostly for minor things but...

without knowing the exact details it is difficult to say. There are ways of calculating the capacity of gullies, but i am not that familar with them so couldn't advise. In practice its not likley to be a problem unless your drive is enormous. The statment that the blocks will 'absorb' 40% of...

You also need to include all the other elements of your house:- Floors roof furniture etc Can I ask why you specifically need to know the dead load?

see here : http://www.pavingexpert.com/concmix1.html for loads of info on concrete. Don't concrete when frost is likley. I'd leave at least a week before drilling any fixing hoes (if thats what you meant?) A better solution (drilling concrete can be a B*****d) would be to cast...

I fitted my kitchen last year - was pleased with result took a while may not be perfect but I have certainly seen worse fitted by 'professionals' (and its a million times better than what was there before) My tip - get a chippy in to fit the worktop. By the time you take into account...

I have a plasplugs 'Approved by Tommy Walsh' model that i got from Focus. I don't know if its the same as the one jason B recommends but for an amateur like me I thought it was brilliant. Most of the water remains in the machine along with most of the mess. Very easy to use and seems quite well...

My parents have a combi in the loft. One drawback that they have reported is some times they have to get access to the control panel to reset it. Bit of a drawback when you are 67 :( Also it takes ages for the hot water to get to the kitchen tap! P

Typical annoying building trade and (sometimes) motor trade practice of quoting prices excluding VAT to domestic customers. Why? I'm sure it makes sense to them but we just want to know whats the bottom line not do tax calculations....... :?:

As ever the answer is 'it depends'. Have you a breakdown of what is material and what is labour? A quick trip to B & Q or similar will give you an idea of a starting price for cheapish bathroom suites and tiles etc.( Don't forget B & Q prices include VAT) As for the labour costs - has he...

I've had a dishasher and washing machine on the same water feed via a y splitter for ages no problems and haven't really noticed the time it takes fill. If you can I would always go for two separate standpipes for the waste. I did have one of the grey self cutting things on for a while until I...
