Just installed Belfast sink. Granite worktop going on next week. Question is how do I get to underside of mixer tap to fit the bugger as the sink is in the way and there is not enough room to slide the sink back in after the granite goes on ? Any top tips greatly appreciated ?

Hi I'm mid way through fitting my new kitchen. I have a Twyfords Belfast sink which I was hoping to fit on top of a standard 600mm belfast sink base with standard height units either side. Problem is sink is 24" i.e. 610mm, so will not fit in gap. How do I get round this ? Any tips...

Just fitted a mixer tap onto new sink in downstairs WC. Used flexible connectors, no problem, but how the feck are you supposed to tighten the nut that holds the tap to the sink top (via that little underside plate). I can get it semi-tight but there is no room for a tap spanner, or any...

Just about to have my kitchen re-wired. The new design means I have (one one wall) .. Integrated fridge/freezer, extraction fan, dishwasher and on the other Integrated washer, microwave and drier. This means I will end up with 5 fused spur switch plates above my worktop. Is there...

I'm having a new boiler installed in my loft this weekend. For power it requires a switched fused spur. Question is where can I take power from ? I assume I can't hook it up to the lighting circuit. I have a plug socket on the wall of the cylinder cupboard which is in the perfect place...

I have a perfectly good Gloworm condensing boiler with a horizontal flue. I contacted Gloworm for a price for the vertical flue kit, but they no longer stock it. As the flue is just a pipe inside another pipe, could I buy a standard 90 deg bend and then vent vertically up through the...

As you will see from my other posts I need to replace my old boiler with a new condensing unit (poss gloworm 18hxi). The main reason for this is that we are extending the kitchen, and the existing boiler is on the wall that is to be demolished. One problem that we have is that with the new...

Had British Gas out to quote for a new boiler (Gloworm18hxi). As well as quoting a ridiculous price for the boiler and fitting he wants to charge me £145 for 28mm gas pipes. Got another quote from a Corgi registered installer, who said I didn't need to change the pipes as the current ones are...

My brother in law has just replaced his Energysaver 50 because he wanted to remove his hot water tank and needed a different type of boiler. I need a new condensing boiler, and as his old one is only about 3 years old could I have a corgi engineer re-install it in my home ? Other questions...
