    I have pulled out an old working fireplace and superimposed hearth (which was a slab of lightweight concrete) and would like to now have a cast iron fireplace and slate hearth to go back into the same space. The fireplace is on the ground floor and my current constructional hearth is brick...

    Plaster cracks after 4 years?

    We moved into our house just over 5 years ago. One of the first jobs we had done was the kitchen which is at the back of the house and on a solid concrete floor (the rest of the house is on a suspended floor). The kitchen previously had one wall as brick with heavy paint at one end and the...

    Shower (solenoid?) problem

    Thankyou seco, and yes I do get the low pressure light when the water fails. I take it that the Mira Pilot Valve 419.87 that your photo is of will fit - it looks the same?

    Shower (solenoid?) problem

    Thanks for the replies so far. The dials are horizontal. I did notice whilst searching on line that there was a product recall for this shower but our batch number does not appear to be an affected one. We were actually considering a new one in any case as the power of this is poor even...

    Electric Shower on the way out?

The shower is connected to a pull switch in the bathroom and then to a seperate 30A fuse in the CU. It is an old CU where you change...

    Wall mounted convection heater and MDF

    I am decorating and updating a loft room for my three year old son. At the moment, the only heat source is a convection heater with a timer and a variable heat setting. It is a Glen 2172 which I believe is a 2Kw heater. The previous fittings were into the plaster board and had been badly...

    Changing sockets on a radial setup

    I would like to convert a couple of sockets from single to double (and one to two doubles from a single) but have just found that my wiring is a radial setup. The cable comes from the fuse box and feeds 5 sockets at the moment (two doubles and three singles), over two rooms (living room and...
