Thank you very much, I will check that. The loo is operated via a push button.. the unit has been in for around 4 years and has been working fine until now, so I will check that. thank you.

Hi there, can anyone give me any advice? We have a Saniflo system in our understairs loo. The saniflo itself is working fine, but there is a constant trickle of water going into the loo bowl, hence the saniflo comes on every ten mins or so to pump the extra water away. I have no knowledge...

Best advice we were given (on here!) was to get the chimney swept BEFORE it's removed... you'll still have tonnes of brick dust & debris but at least you won't have the soot. Cost £30 to have it swept. We ended up taking the chimney stack off the roof as well - not always a popular choice but...

Anyone have any idea if it HAS to duct to the outside? We've had a downstairs loo installed in our understairs cupboard - we have a Victorian House which has tonnes of clearance under the floorboards.. .. we want to duct the fan just under the floor rather than take all the floors up to get...

The tiles are 30cm x 30cm - I would say that there is about 1cm between each tile? It's a kitchen diner, floorboards then stepping down onto concrete - the tiler has plyboarded the boards and used different grout for the concrete & boards (tiny colour difference but hardly noticeable)..

Ah - I don't know about flexible adhesive - would that make a difference?

Can you believe that I have been so let down by our kitchen fitters that it didn't even occur to me to get the completely unrelated tiler back?!!!! I've just called him - he's going to come round and have a look - thanks very much for pointing out the obvious! :D cheers :D

Hi - we've had floor tiles laid over floorboards about a month ago - the tiler plyboarded the floor first, then used flexible grout, but it's cracking already. Anyone got any advice? Many thanks.

hi - I think it's 400 watt, but I'm guessing. It's all a bit of a pigs ear really - we originally had mains downlights from B&Q installed, so I got a double dimmer that would work with that... the lights themselves were a bit ropey so the electrician suggested low voltage lights on individual...

Hi, wonder if anyone can help me. We've been left in the lurch a bit with some electrics and I need some advice. Basically, we've got a kitchen diner, and we've had 6 low voltage downlights fitted in the kitchen bit and 8 low voltage downlights fitted in the diner bit. They're on a double...

No way, you're not still on this :shock: Wow, no wonder you recommend the Yellow Pages - you guys really DO have time to browse through....go on, I bet you have a favourite page, don't ya?!. :D Do try and find some pity for those of us who only have a second to post a question :wink...

Thank you guys, yup - ordering without knowing the price up front - oh my god, what a girlie disaster :shock: :D FYI - I have a builder doing a knock through, it needs two 7'x4" steels which I have to pay for, they've arrived today and I've paid the delivery guy £140.00. I have no idea...

Thank you very much, much appreciated - I just wanted to know how much cash to get out for my builder today - you were bang on, he wanted £140! thanks for your help :D

Hmmmmm.. thank you SO much, that is really helpful 8) I was actually asking how much the I could expect the hardware to be - in Sunny Old Essex... not really a difficult question one would think for a DIY Forum.

Hi guys, can anyone tell me roughly how much a 7' x 4" RSJ is going to cost? Thanks

Thanks for your advise guys.. Works start on Monday, we've been in the process of emptying the house over the last few weeks.. we're taking the chimney out from the stack to the ground, knocking two rooms into one downstairs, so I guess it will be rather messy :? JDLDIY & Tom - can't thank...

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D I can't remember your name - Jason perhaps? We're having the chimney breast work start on Monday - had it swept today... three great big bags of soot & yucky stuff that will no longer be wafting through my house. £30 very well spent Thank you so...

That is really helpful, thank you very much.. I've read the details on the link and I think I'm convinced! thanks for your help Masona 8)

Hi guys, opinions gratefully received. We'd like to have solid 40mm beech block worktop with our new kitchen diner; we love the look, we're quite prepared to oil it every six months or so. Trouble is, we have received conflicting advice from friends and potential suppliers... some swear...

That's not a bad suggestion JDLDIY - I hadn't even thought of that. I'll have to investigate costs - thanks.
