I moved into a 1936 built semi, six years ago, the roof contruction was orignal rosemary and no felt. The structural survey said it needed a re-roof as there were signs of water ingress. So the first thing we did was get the roof done. The roofer said that most of the tiles were good, and needed...

I guess I could replace it without taking the machine out and removing the front? Where could I get one from? Looked all the net and no joy. Would I have any claim against Bosch?

I have a Bosh Washing Machine less than 3 year old, a Black WAE244B1GB. The silver plastic on the door has badly cracked, and the door has dropped slightly - there has been no misuse of the door at all. Is there a repair for this, or where could I get a replacement door for it? If I can, are...

I have purchased a Samsung RSH7UNBP H American Fridge Freezer, to which the Water Line Filter has to be mounted externally. I did think that there would be a space in the rear of the model for this, but alas no. However, the gap it is going in, there is no room to mount this at all. Would...

I have now 430mm from the ceiling to the 650mm level of the hood from the hob (induction). I have looked all over and blind to it now :) but are there any 60cm black chimney hoods that can do this height?

Can this be mounted as a standalone i.e. not in/under a cabinet, and ducted outside? Would it look daft? Thanks for your help.

I have a dilemma. I have had a kitchen extension built and the roof is a vaulted ceiling at 15 degrees. The point where my cooker is going, the roof height is 2m high, and with the height of the worksurface at 910mm, is there a hood that I could use in black color - it has to be black. A hole...

Would the contrast be drastic, or subtle? I could live with subtle. The kitchen is well ventilated with an extractor fan to the outside, and roof velux. Is the problem with Matt that is just isn't wipeable, if I was to splash or the surface marked, would be just a simple touch up job? The...

I have just had an kitchen extension built and have done all the walls/ceilings in Dulux Matt Brilliant White paint. It looks well. What I was planning, was where there is likely to be 'food' splashes, and around the sink area, I was going to use the Dulux Matt Diamond paint on the wall area...

Cheers for the advice guys. I will let you know what the outcome is.

I guess you are right about the sharp edges on laminate. May have to raid the money tin.......

What I was trying to say, the rad on the profile of the surface to kept to a minimum, rather that a big rad. In short, I would like a sharp edge as opposed to a rad, if that makes sense.

Hi guys, I need a little advice. I am having a kitchen extension that is nearly complete, and then have the wall knocked through to the existing kitchen to create a big kitchen. However, one or two things that have come up during the build that as eaten into my 'kitchen budget'. So here are...

Just after a little advice. Having a kitchen extension built 5mx3m, on a timber floor which is at the side of the house knocked through into the exsiting kitchen 3mx2.4m, which is on a solid floor. A step down is needed into the new build due to floor levels (200mm step). I am after a...

Cheers. I have a painter to do it, and I said I will get the paint as I want to make sure its the good stuff. Thanks again for you help guys.

Thanks, with it being Tyrolene, which paint would be best suited the smooth or textured? And would the one coat version be ok?

Just a quickie. Five years ago we had our 1930s semi painted in a cream exterior paint, the top half of the house is rendered with tyrolene and that is what we had painted. It's looking okish, but a little weathered where we get the most weather at the rear of the house. We are due to have it...

Unfortunately Tony there is a washing machine in front of the vessell, and a gap of about 12 inches from the back of the machine to the back of of the cupboard. I felt the connections and they were dry, and by looking at the floor around the vessel it seemed dry. With a competent BG engineer you...

The problem was solved. BG hadn't tightened the fittings on the new expansion vessel and was leaking into a cupboard.

I have a combi boiler which is 9years old, to which I was loosing about 0.8 bar pressure over 1 to 2 months, i.e. it went from 1 bar to 0.2 bar, but nothing less. It really didn't get that low for my boiler to enter lockdown mode. I am on BG cover, and have been out many times to try and...
