Hi All, I am planning my new kitchen and attention has turned to the boiler. I have a huge Worcester Heatstore 9-24 from ~1987. It is very reliable but taking up valuable space in a small kitchen, so is going to be replaced. I am keen to stick with a Worcester but considering which model...

Hi All, I'm refitting a shower cubicle that was part fitted previously by a total bodger. I haven't done major bathroom work before but think I understand the principles. The supplies are in place and I'll get a electrician for the sparky bits (it's a fancy power shower with steam etc)...

Hi All I'm after an integrated full size dishwasher and think I'm going to plump for a Bosch. Which Magazine give the SGV46M13GB a good review (though not quite a 'best buy'). They haven't reviewed the SGV53E33GB but the specs are pretty similar and I can get that one with better delivery...

Hi All, I like the look of 'Oban' crosshead taps that Toolstation do but I need a bigger selection. I'm after a bath mixer deck mounted with swivel spout and separate taps for the basin. I've seen them on ebay before but they've gone now that I'm ready to buy! Any suggestions for a...

Hi All I'm planning to move (and replace) my combi boiler into the loft as part of a kitchen refurb. [When I say 'I', obviously I mean pay a Gas Safe installer rather than DIY in this case.] I am in a top floor flat so the loft is directly above and a lot of the plumbing is routed...

Hi All, One of the pipes between the bulkhead and heater matrix in my car has a hairline crack on a bend and so is leaking. At first glance I assumed it was standard 15mm copper pipe but in fact its o/d is 17mm (exactly). It is also a lighter colour than normal copper so perhaps it's...

Hi All I am looking to build two sheds, one for general storage and one for pet rabbits to live in. The second one therefore needs to be fox proof, and rat and mouse proof as far as possible too. I already have one 6x4’ timber shed (B&Q shiplap, apex roof) which has been treated and is...

Hi All I need a pair (at least) of devises which act like a jack to spread two pillars which are ~500mm apart. Bottle jacks would be ideal but I doubt they're available in such a size. A sash cramp operating in reverse would also do fine. But most that I see are only set up to compress...

Hi All I'm creating a new home for my washing machine in the "cupboard under the stairs" rather than the kitchen. Said cupboard is next to the bathroom next to the head-end of the bath, so there's ready access to the T into the shower's water supply. I had hoped that I could T into the...

Hi All I've got a right mess to sort out at my mum's house where numpty tradesmen have been let loose 'installing' a steam shower cabin: http://www.indigoshowers.co.uk/cabs701sn.htm Long story short: they've thrown it together and put it in the wrong place, the wrong way around, having not...
