Thanks guys this is helpful. I'm planning on adding another tank to get to 150 litres. Can someone perhaps suggest an air hammer?

Just bought an air compressor for general tasks with cars. Was told this unit (in the link below) is powerful and will run an air hammer, air and high torque impact gun. What I would like to know is how to make the machine quieter and what to look at when pairing tools? I want a strong air...

It's never so simple is it, will be getting a new fan soon

So waiting for engineer to come along and fit fan, but in the meantime Ive been recommended a Keston boiler. Any ideas on this?

The fan works intermittently so think I should just purchase the fan and get it replaced by a specialist then?

Yes but really don't want that.

Do you know if we can get parts for these boilers?? Will try boxt actually

Due to my stupid ass h@#e fitter not fitting my Bathtub properly, my Bathtub has lateral movement. It seems like the legs are not strong enough and allow movement. Now I don't really want the bath taken out to rectify the problem, but is there a way to make this bath solidly fixed to ground so...

thanks for the reply John. The floors been opened and there is no damage to joints or the ceiling downstairs etc. What should the replacement be? Also what other things do i need to know when getting the floor replaced? On a side note, this forum is great and the people are also great. I have...

A bit of advice needed please - my floor has collapsed in my en-suite shower room due to a leak and now needs to be replaced. I'm in the process of trying to contract someone to the job but need a heads up in what the job should entail. Please educate me on the removal of the floor and refitting...
