Some six years ago or so, we had installed some LVT in our kitchen and we now want to expand it to the hallway. At the time we bought the LVT at B&Q where we got this sort of "flat" plastic trim (actually more L-shaped) - see pictures of it installed and a bit that we had leftover. This time we...

Fantastic! Thanks a lot. Just to check, I'm assuming that the self adhesive flat cover plates would be for the LVT to LVT and the LVT to tile (bathroom), right? If so, I'm assuming that for the former I would need something like this (i.e. completely flat) whereas for the latter I would need...

Thanks! So, the there would be one threshold that would be vinyl click flooring on both sides (top picture, but carpet would be replaced with vinyl), two where it would be carpet and vinyl flooring (where today it's carpet on both sides), one where it would be vinyl and tiles (a bathroom -...

I'm thinking about replacing the carpet on the hallway of our flat for vinyl click flooring (already have some of this flooring in the dining area, but was installed by someone). However, I'm not sure about the floor strips/thresholds. Current ones will need replacing as they won't match with...

Thanks for the replies. We're actually going to replace the carpet as well, so I guess we could get a thicker one and that would mask a bit of the difference in height. The one thing on my mind is whether that would be seen as a negative in the future, i.e. let's say we sell the place one day...

Our bathrooms have this black tile that we've never been too keen on (see picture). We once quoted someone to do the removal of the tiles in both bathrooms and the installation of vinyl click flooring and they quoted us almost £2k per bathroom because the guy said that he would need to pretty...

I'm planning to install a Bosch Dishwasher (slimline series 2 link). As there was no previous dishwasher, there are no existing hoses or power connections. With regards to the power, I think I will plug it in the same outlet as the washing machine (converting the single plug into a double plug...

So, had a look under the sockets and the wires that feed the oven socket come from the mains that feed the hob - unsurprisingly (see picture). I guess that means that the best solution would be something like...

Great! So just need to change the socket and hardwire the oven and that should be all, right?

Thanks! So, with regards to the hob, it's a Zanussi ZHRN641K, which, according to the specs, has a maximum power draw of 6.500W, which I think, translates into an equivalent of ca. 30A. Not that I have ever used the four places at the same time at max power. However, would that mean that the...

Hi all. We are thinking about replacing our existing oven. The current one is plugged but the possible replacements (see for example a Neff C1AMG84N0B) are all hardwired. The current oven is a Zanussi ZOB 343X, and the spec of the circuit according to the manual is a fuse of at least 15A and 20...

Just to complete the story in case anyone also has this problem in the future. I tried cleaning the contacts but no luck. Then I ordered a salvaged PCB from a business that allowed for returns and no luck either. So that was not the problem. End of the road, I guess...

I found this video on youtube of someone taking apart this sort of boiler . Between roughly 12:00 and 15:00 he takes apart the air intake pipes. More intrincate than I imagined with several bends. I do wonder if that could be the cause although I would be surprised that a product out in the...

Ah, this is really fascinating. A random thought but, as the flat remained unoccupied for two years after it was built with the boiler not getting any use during this period, could it be that dust or dirt accumulated creating a blockage in the way that you describe? This explanation definitely...

I have a Zanussi ZWT 71401 WA integrated washing machine with dryer function which is 5 years old but with relatively modest use (do a full load once a week on average). About a year ago the machine developed a problem whereby I would turn the dial to switch in on but nothing would happen...

Ah, OK. So seems that I was fooled into a safety check for the price of a service....sigh....OK. Should probably book a proper service then

I'm assuming he did. I'm looking at the report and it says: CO/CO2 ratio: 0.0007 CO2 reading: 8.8 CO reading: 34 Not sure if that says anything. Have to say that it was pretty quick...

I have a Glow Worm Flexicom 24CX boiler, which came with the flat (new-build flat, although remained unoccupied or two years, hence why the warranty on the boiler had expired when we moved in). Pretty much since day 1 the boiler makes a "howling" sound whenever it fires up, i.e. when ignition...

Ouch! Had I known this when the original fault developed! Thing is that although the washing machine has been in use for a bit under five years, the flat where we live remained unoccupied for two years before we moved in so the machine is technically closer to seven years old. Sigh...live and...

Thanks for the replies. Yes, suspect repair no longer under warranty. Might gie the guy a call just in case there is some goodwill there. I have to give the justanswer thing a try. I assume that it will have to wait until it's a working day, though.
