I wish it were that easy; i think they only come as a set :unsure:

Just an idea; have you tried solution of washing soda ... it gets rid of grease and also stripped the polish off my wood units by accident. Don't take my for word for it tho

Someone gave me a new bathroom Armitage shanks Sandringham 51 basin without a pedestal Will a random pedestal be ok to use, or are the pedestals fairly specific for the basin shape ? Cheers

Thanks for all replies. I think we will probably stick with the timber bracing

We want to maintain maximum ceiling height for bedrooms in roof space and need to insulate under rafters. If we could get rid of diagonal bracing members measuring 25x100x1000, could we replace these with heavy duty steel straps 5mm thick x 30mm x various lengths. It would make it much easier...

I dare say it would work but you can contact dulux on their hotline and ask.

If its not dark wood then you can strip it back to bare wood and start again. it may be cheaper to replace some of the skirting then spend the time stripping it.

I have been getting into researching this wood stain lark and it's doing my head in. I need to 'do' a brand new redwood timber fascia and soffit and not sure what to plump for I phoned the Sikkens hotline; they said to use HLS+ then Filter 7 top coat (blurb recommend 2 coats each) but after...

Thanks for responding once again to another of my posts. Would that mean solvent based ? I have been getting into this wood stain lark and it's doing my head in. Sikkens (solvent based) hotline said to use HLS+ then Filter 7 top coat (blurb recommend 2 coats each) the i look at the finer...

Hi the chippies want to pretreat timber fascia and ply sheets for soffit before the boards are fitted and the ply sawn into strips. Can anybody recommend a lasting and quick and sensible treatment for these We will probably go for a wood stain kind of final finish rather than paint Any...

This a conversion and walls are not insulated in the cavity. We are doing interior celotex is there no fire regs thingy that is should be fire stopped ? i wonder have you lived with mice dancing on your plasterboard ?

How about topping it off with asbestolux tile

Planning to use a cavity sock to stop the gap between the 2 leaves at wall plate height Will this stop mice from getting into walls ? lots of the little blighters in this neck of the woods Cheers

Quite so, but how do the uninitiated ( me) know the difference between a good or bad installation. A bad installer might fudge the test. Will the building control inspector want to see the test being done ?

It's the old head height conundrum. Concrete ground floor without insulation which don't want to dig out so must go ontop. Not sure how much insulation we are going to have to use yet. There are steels that will drop into ceiling height in the middle ( open plan) so trying to minimise build up...

I'm amazed at the large number of wet underfloor heating brands there are now. Looking at using this in a conversion into dwelling. I have lived with UFH and I like it. We will be having an air source heat pump. I noticed online that Nu-heats warranty is as follows Fastflo™ underfloor heating...

That scaffolding looks expensive

We are stripping old (1980's) concrete pantiles, putting in new roof trusses and re-tiling with same pantiles. I was reading something on DIYdoctor about installing velux that surprised me ... the blogger said that all slates are usually nailed but that tiles are generally laid on each other...

Good tip thanks Bob
