Hi guys, thanks for explaining how the staircase is constructed. Would it still be a massive task if I had access from behind? As the pantry is underneath the stairs. Obviously I would have to pull the sloped plasterboard ceiling down and replace it afterwards. (not that great anyway). The...

Hi guys, I have just tried using the flush trim router bit, following my template, trying to cut the exact same shape in 18mm MDF again, but it appears to be struggling/burning. I have just tested this with 4mm MDF, and it was fine. Do you think it will manage cutting in 12mm MDF...

Hi guys, Do the flush trim router bits work well with MDF? I was looking at purchasing this one to use with my Makita Rp0900x router. I have a shaped/curved piece of 18mm MDF that I would like to use as a template, to cut out in 12mm MDF several times. Cheers, Adam

Thats for the reply. I actually meant the main 22mm flow and return iso valves. I just took a picture: Or are these not the type of valves which leak? Cheers, Adam

Hi guys, just read in the wiki how to flush my combi ch system out with the mains water filling loop. It requires me to shut off the flow ISO valve, but mentions that some once shut off, will leak once turned back on. Could anyone tell/show me which type are prone to leaking? Cheers, Adam.

Hi guys, Is it possible to use JG speed fit fittings with Hep2O barrier pipe as long as I use the correct Hep2O pipe inserts? Or is JG barrier pipe better than Hep2O barrier pipe? Cheers, Adam

Hi guys, I need to add a radiator into my converted garage. The boiler is in there in its own cupboard, and I have access to the main 22mm flow and return pipes. These have already being tee'd off directly under the boiler and reduced down to 15mm pipes, with 2 radiators splitting off in...
