Hi All, Due to some crazing I have recently taken up what I believe to have been a magnesite screed that was laid on top of the concrete slab in the dining room of our 1950s built house. My question is what product is now best to lay in its place? I have seen a number of SLCs that seem to...

Hey All! I have read a number of posts on here damp floors etc but thought Id post a few pictures to see what you thought based on being to actually see it rather than description. Basic survey on purchase picked up a 'possible damp' issue but being basic nothing else mentioned. When...

Hey! This may sound weird but there is some logic. We wanted a wall hung fire but to be honest we arent at all fussed about it providing heat as we want it really just for the effect. My plan was to get a small TV with built in DVD player and frame it with dark glass, just as a normal hire...

Evening! Just a quick message for a little bit of advice. The plasterers have left after two days work, the finish is great with nice smooth lines, edges and curves so cant knock them there. One point however is that the new boards and skim sit proud of the door frames in places, which...

Hey again! I just wondered, why on earth are the double sockets my upstairs bedrooms above head height? What confuses me even more is that in the same bedroom i have sockets at 'normal' height and those halfway up??? Very odd! There is also an aerail socket next to each, is this so that a TV...

Hey all, Yesterday the boiler stopped providing us with hot water and the heating is minimal with it not getting very hot at all. The pressure when not operating seems to be at the 1 bar mark (recommended 0.5-1.0). The fan/flue neon flashes indicating a fault in that area. There also...

Ive not long moved into a new house and the shower in the ensuite (Triton TS80i) every now and again trips after a few minutes. After looking at previous posts it seems to be that my MCB is too small for the shower. Am i right in saying that: 8.5kw > 36.9 amps = 40 amp MCB would be...

Hey all! Ive just bought a new house which has a boarded out loft (something i shall explore) but i was looking at pics i took on one of the days i went to view and was toying with the idea of a lovely new staircase. I believe i stand in a good position as the floor to ceiling height on...

Hey all! I have had the joy of moving house to find that the downlights around the house have the bulbs hanging from their fixings. I believe this is down to them being pressed steel downlights and having those annoying spring clips that are placed on top of the bulb to hold them in...

Hi, I have a trevi mixer shower and not too long ago had to call someone out to have a look at it as the hot water was only coming out luke warm. They opened the section of piping where the filter was and cleaned it out, as soon as they did this the water was fine. Problem being every...

Hey all, Just a quick question, not sure if anyone wil be able to help but thought id ask all the same. My father is in the furniture trade, which is slow at the minute and i think he should be using his van for removals too. At current he has no advertising stickers for his van and i...
