Dear all I appreciate that this is probably a v simple question for the veteran tilers but Id appreciate any advice on this, please. We have 3/4 large (cream coloured) porcelain tiles that appear to be coming loose. - they are near the top of the wall. hence im after the strongest adhesive...

Hi there I've just replaced an old radiator in the top floor bedroom in the house. I was having to bleed the old one every few days and it was quite old so I decided to buy a new double-convector style one. Now I'm finding that I have to bleed that every few days too - it's not cold all...

Evening folks. I need to get a new radiator for a bedroom as the one in there at the moment isn’t quite heating the room enough (as well as having to bleed it every two or so days). I was just looking for a bit of advice really. The radiator currently in there is a single (non-convector)...

Hello All. I bought and fitted an electric radiator from easy-heat (www.easy-heat.co.uk) about 2 years ago. It was quite an expensive solution (about £400) but we were limited by the fact that it was going into a conservatory with concrete floors and we wanted something that would look...

Breezer - do you still have details of that website that does 'good' solar lights? In my case, I don't mind how big the solar panel(s) is/are, because I'm going to put it on the roof of my shed (where no one will see them and where hopefully they'll get the most light), then run the cable...

Dear all I'm hoping someone out there might be able to help me. I've done as much reading around as I can (as well as experiment with different set ups) and have not been able to find a solution on my own. Apologies if this comes across a bit novice-like. I've tried to explain it as best...

Hi - I need to replace the White Knight fully integrated tumble dryer I currently own (vented to an external wall). I've had a look around and it appears that the only ones on the market are effectively re-badged version of the same machine (Baumatic do one, as do CDA). I wouldn't recommend...

Hello All. I have a problem which I suspect may affect a lot of us. Basically, I have my central heating thermostat (which deals with the radiators for the whole house) located in the hallway downstairs. However, the downstairs of my house tends to get much cooler than the upstairs. This...

Hello All I've recently re-landscaped my garden. Did much of it myself but paid for someone to lay a patio. It's all done now, but the mortar either side of each patio stone is very messy and slap-dash and I've had enough of ringing the landscaper to come and fix it. Basically, its...

So I decided to put up some external wall lamps, used a weatherproof junction box and armoured swa cable (nice and chunky). Now looking back at my lovely pointed brick wall, the thick black cable looks absolutely rubbish against it. I had to use about 6 metres to get to one of the lamps...

Hello all. I've installed a diy cctv system to my house and wired it so that all the TVs can view it. The signal coming from the camera is pretty sharp, until I feed it through the modulator (which I need to in order to convert the scart). After that, the image becomes very grainy and has...

Hi, I'm having a carpenter build some MDF Alcove and Wardrobe Units for me (you know the type of thing - every Victorian or similar house in the whole of the UK seems to have them - apart from mine). And I get the lucky job of painting them this weekend (not at 4pm on Saturday, though :wink: )...

Hi all. I've recently bought and installed one of these.[/url]http://www.micromark.co.uk/epages/micromark.filereader?439f002c001d3c2e27400a020f650570+EN/products/MM23255 It has a SCART socket that needs to be plugged into a TV. Does anyone know any way of being able to wire so that the...

Does anyone know where I might be able to source some of the chrome mounts that you can get a glass/granite breakfast bar to sit on top of? I'm sourcing the reinforced (10mm?) glass myself, but I've got no idea where to get the bits for it to sit on. :? Here's a link to the type of thing...

Anyone heard of this brand and have an opinion on them? Am thinking of installing one of their chimney hoods. They seem to be much cheaper than Neff/Smeg etc Thanks.

Hi, am installing some (double-glazed) French doors as well as a (double-glazed) conservatory-type roof over an extension. Need them to be white. The options are white PVCU or (I believe) painted white Aluminium. There seems to be a lot more PVCU around than Aluminium. Is there any...

I know it's a silly question :oops: , but is there a simple way I can check (other than pay someone to come and check?) If it helps, it used to be used as a boiler flue (I now want to use it for an extractor hood). Thanks.

Hello all. I'm going to be replacing the flat roof on the original brick built extension at the back of the house with glazing, to let some more light in. The intention is that the roof will either either be fully glazed (similar to a flat conservatory roof) OR with glazing in the middle and...

Hi. Am about to buy a Range Cooker for the kitchen (a dual fuel one: gas hob and electric oven). So I did the sensible thing and looked on t'internet, only to find that they vary massively in terms of price. :oops: I'm looking for a modern looking one with a double oven for sub-£1000...
