Hi, I have a fairly modern loft with trusses / struts etc (not quite sure what they are called sorry), I want to create a games room where my son can play video games and 3D print etc, it’s not going to be a bedroom. The area is boarded and nothing heavier than the existing stuff up there will...

Hi, Just removed the carpet and underlay from my snug room, this is a garage conversion with an insulated wood subfloor finished in chipboard. I have done laminate before and have removed the skirtings etc, the flooring needs a 10mm expansion gap. To keep out any draughts shall I tape (which...

Hi, We have an internal washroom that has a washer and dryer in it (dryer on top of washing machine), we used to have a condensing dryer but it took ages so I bought a vented model. My rationale behind this was we have an extractor fan in this room which I removed and isolated and then...

Evening, We have an old Ideal standard FF with a large water tank upstairs. I can’t put the heating on without the hot water being on so I was thinking. I think I understand that when you put the CH on (with the water of course) the radiator water pipes run through the tank and heat up the rad...
