hello all, merry christmas and a happy new year. I've been pondering about polishing or waxing my laminate floor all waxes and polishes usually say suitable except laminate. Anyone know of a product or way i can get a shine to the floor?

Yes its in properly, tried changing with another bulb and same problem

I have some kitchen under cabinet flourescant lighting, the linkable type, there are 5 lights linked to a fused spur that is also connected to a 2 way lightswitch (one that controls the ceiling lights and the other to these lights). Problem lies with one particular light, sometimes it will...

Hi all, Wanted to know if using exterior grade plywood was acceptable to use for a shower to be tiled over of course.. or should u use aquapanel? thanks

Its probably not exactly like a plastered wall but has a nice smooth finish and ideal for painting over.. I put about 2 coats of undercoat just out of preference and it looks great.. One thing to also consider if you go along this route is which way to paste the paper on the wall.. i did it...

Do what Dazb suggested i did this although with 1000 guage paper.. and it works real well.. but i made some slight mistakes of overlapping in a couple of places and that shows! as a rule of thumb a small gap is better than an overlap (the filler works great!).

thanks!

Is this: fitting (15mm to 22mm reducer) compatible with copper pipes?

thanks for the reply ;)

Masona, any pictures? and info about the slabs would be useful to me please.

depends mainly on the size of the holes, but you are probably better off getting the one coat plaster as its much more easier to work with.

hi all, i need some advice about a shower i'm going to be installing, its a 10.5kw triton opal shower. I have a Mem Memera 2000 consumer unit (i dont think the model i have has RCD protection) and i've been looking for a suitable mcb, but it seems like they are only available in a 40A or 50A...

True probably never going to drill that big holes that often, although i imagined that the blackspur bits would probably only last about a couple of uses. I think what i was thinking was would it be cost effective to buy a cheap drill like the one in screwfix (2nd reply) and bits as to hire...

I need to drill a few holes through a brick wall, 1x50mm and two 110mm, was thinking of hiring an sds drill and diamond core bits to go with it.. or could i get away with buying the blackspur drill bits and using a standard hammer drill? Your thoughts/recommendations?

I had a turbomax put in 6 months ago, bought it mainly as i had one in the flat i used to live in. Top boiler, had the occasional fault (leaking water. which i was told was a design fault on those particular models). But been pretty solid. I also thought about going with something else but...

Im in the process of putting up some lining paper on some rough walls to be the inital base for paint. however im not the best wallpaperer in the world and there are some small gaps in places. Is there anything i can add to my undercoat that will fill the gaps or anything else that i can do so...

In the process of installing a new kitchen and have a worktop to fit also.. there are going to be 2 joins needed and i'd prefer to stay away from the metal joining strips and have a flush join. What i'd like to know is that if anyone has ever used a worktop jig to cut the worktop corners and if...

this is something actually i want to do with my gas meter in the future.. i have heard it costs a lot (200+) for transco to do this. Never really enquired though, do post a reply when you hear from them would be interesting to know.

Having done a bit of plastering myself i would recommend the following: 1) find out about the different types of plasters and where they are supposed to go.. last thing you want to do is to apply the wrong plaster to the wrong type of wall. 2) try to practice 3) make as much plaster...
