Afternoon all :wink: Have a Vaillant 824 TurboMAX fitted on a 3 bed house. Was checking the Magnaclean filter on it (been installed 4 yrs approx) and did this after draining out the whole system (as the isolators on the Magnaclean are crap and don't work very well). I do this filter...

Mate is just getting a Kitchen installed, went around last night + noted that all the wall units are through screw fixed from the side? The installer has then fixed a coloured end panel to hide the through screw fixings? Looks very untidy in my opinion. I went home + checked my units? They...

Afternoon all, the wife is on at me to replace the Kitchen we've got......and she wants a good quality product. I'm of a mind to get a Howdens Kitchen, altho they don't see to do granite worktops. Was thinking of maybe a Stoves range cooker + a standard US style fridge freezer. Any...

Afternoon all :wink: I've got a bath mixer tap, maybe 5-6 years old now. Everytime I turn on the hot water, water comes out of the tap housing at a good steady rate. Am I correct in assuming that the washer needs changing? I guess the housing is ok tho?

Afternoon all I'm having Fire Doors fitted at a house I let out to students. Sometimes I get in students who don't know each other & would therefore want there individual bedroom doors to be lockable. Is it possible to fit a standard 3 lever latch lock on a Fire Door? I'd finish it either...
