Hi all. So we're having a kitchen refit and would like to get an induction hob.My question is, will my hob and oven be ok on my cooker switch. On the consumer unit says B40, which I assume is 40 amp. Would this be sufficient for a single oven and induction hob? The induction hob says it needs...

Hi everyone. Having a new kitchen fitted soon where we'll be getting an integrated 50/50 fridge freezer. Just noticed what I think might be the main gas pipe to the boiler sticking out about 40 mm from the wall, exactly where the fridge freezer will be. If we cut a hole in the cabinet, just a...

Hi all. so I have had a vertical crack appear between front door and landing window. the crack follows the mortar, stepped up, roughly 8 brick courses(60 cm) high. Had it looked at and it is not structural, so we're all good there. So I bought a crack stitching kit online to avoid the crack...

Hi all We are into the second day of our extension being built, and already having problems. The architect did not allow for the skeelings, so looks like we have to get a special joint made up which will take 3 weeks to be done. This is going to cost extra, as well as put the whole project...

Hi all. We applied for planning permission with Rushmoor, via our architect on Friday last week. We had a call from the architect today saying that planning permission was denied as we don't have 3 off road car parking spaces. The extension would've provided a 4th bedroom and extended the...

Hello everyone. My wife and I are looking at options to extend our property, and a loft extension seems to be the best bet. We had a well known, respected local lofter come round to give us a quote, and he confirmed our suspicions that there wasn't enough headroom in the loft. He did suggest...

Hi all. I am going to change my bath taps so I have a thermostatic mixer. it is really difficult to get the bath panel off as there is built in furniture in the way so I was just going to swap over the taps, leaving the existing legs on so I don't have to take the panel off. Problem is that...

Hi all. My central heating is getting a bit noisy and i think it's time to stick some cleaner in it.. problem is, last time I did it, it took hours to get all the airlocks out the system, and it caused me to panic ever so slightly. I know it's not just me as a heating engineer had the same...
