For an Ideal LOGIC Combi c30 boiler. Many thanks

I want to make a frame with a pair of doors to fit around the consumer box. I going to box in the pipes at the bottom(ok doing that) & run skirting along the front of it. Struggling to work out how to do the other bit. The alcove is not square 840mm at bottom & 855mm at where i roughly want...

Found this in my garden after strong winds. Is it a roof slate? As far as i can see it doesn't match up with anything on my roof or neighbours. Thought if it had come off a roof it would have shattered?

As per title, the wife wants me to put shelves in an alcove in cupboard. I need to fix a batten to an MDF panel, what is the best way to do it. I was going to use 38mm wood for the battens (have some leftover from previous job) & the MDF is 18mm. The other two sides are brick. The shelves are...

Is it going to be worth it? Would insulating internal side of outside walls(cavity) be advisable? These walls are all in storage cupboards that have outside walls in them, they all link to hallway which is very cold. Would insulating the walls make much difference to these areas, or is there...

Hi, got a Ideal Logic Combi C30 boiler. Got a whistling/ squealing noise when using boiler, both when running taps & heating on. Doesn't come on straight away thou. Tried to upload a video of it but it's apparently too big for server, I will try again soon...

Morning peep's. I painted inside of concrete door step earlier in the week & there is a gully in it & the paint wouldn't dry. I used zinser cover stain first & then a coat of Dulux water based emulsion(was that ok) I googled some answers & one i found was to use a fan. I used it in the...

Had CO alarm go off last night whilst the heating was on(scared the crap out of us both). Switched off boiler & opened doors to get air flow through. Boiler is Ideal Logic Combi c30, just over 3.5 years old I spoke to my brother (gasafe) who said to check whether the casing had been refitted...

Had a flag on front of property for 18 months. Noticed this week the bracket was coming away from the wall, obviously i assume due to strong winds in this area(Cumbria). The hole i drilled for the rawl plugs had got bigger, so they have become loose. The outside wall has a layer of render on it...

We've noticed a few small dark patches appear this week on one wall & would like any input on what it is. Put 2 pics up, but not very good quality. 2 things, we have had a shed load of rain lately, & there is no guttering above the outside wall. Can't see any cracks in outside wall either...

I have an Ideal boiler with horizontal flue. A couple of times in heavy rain & strong winds, water has come back into the boiler. Had a gas safe bloke in & basically he said not a lot can be done. I know i'm not allowed to do anything to it, but surely there must be something to stop it. Maybe...

The wife wants this painted. Ideally I would like to get rid of it, but i assume it's wouldn't be easy if possible ? Best way of painting it, complete rub down first? Would it need primer 1st or can you just paint it? Many thanks for reading this

How difficult a job would it be to replace it for diyer? Also would it make much difference to condensation in this area, being able to have a window that you can open? Cheers

Afternoon peeps, wife wants door thresholds(3) painted gloss white. Looks like they have been previously stained. Is this a good idea in a heavy traffic area? What's the best type of paint to use if i do it & what preparation is needed. Sand stain off completely or will an undercoat seal it...

Morning guys. I've been looking for a electric radiator for an alcove in downstairs toilet. The width of the gap is 430 mm. I've seen a couple that in theory would fit the gap, but on reading further they need quite a lot of clearance each side. Before i give up on the idea is this the norm...

Looking to get an electric radiator to fit in the downstairs toilet room(not bought yet) Is it possible for it to be hardwired using the single socket, if so what's the correct/best way. The single socket is on a ring main & i assume i could change the single to a double & put cable from...

Afternoon guys. Piping a radiator to the downstairs toilet is going to be a pain, so looking for alternatives. Started looking at oil filled electric radiators only because a mate of mine has a Farho Elegance in his snug & say's it's great. No idea how much they would cost to run thou...

Looking for a replacement hinge for my large storage box. The only one's i have seen are on eBay & with posting cost approx £40 Keter were no good ☹️ Anyone know of a company doing it for a more reasonable price? Cheers
