Yup, sorry folks, that old chestnut again... I am refurbing the downstairs cloakroom (WC and wash basin, no bath or shower). House was built in 1996 and the walls (dot and dabbed plasterboard with no skim) were painted with trade matt emulsion (I'm guessing, cos in the early days cleaning...

Greetings all, and happy Friday! I'm installing an illuminated (LED) cupboard in a bedroom (it's a bathroom cabinet, but daughter wants it for make-up etc above her dressing table). I have added a new 2-gang socket near where the cabinet is going (had to run the new socket on a single T&E from...

Hi All, I've just changed a 20 year old bathroom extractor (which did a brilliant job) for a nice shiny new 100mm Xpelair model (which doesn't do anything - paintwork will need re-doing to remove black condensation marks after just 3 weeks!) To try to overcome this, I've now purchased a 150mm...

Hi all, First post here, so please bear with me..... I am about to start ripping out the en-suite and totally refitting it. One of the key issues is getting the correct fall from the new shower waste to the soil stack. The existing shower tray has been jacked up by around 150mm, but I...
