    Make a toaster go "ping"

    Dualit toasters are around £200 and British made. You can buy all the spare parts online and fix yourself. I bought a bust one off eBay for £45 and swapped elements ect and cleaned up for £30. No manual pop up. Mechanical timer. No ping. Just buy a power cut/ failure plug in alarm. That will...

    Kitchen wood slat ceiling

    I think you need to sort roof out. Water getting trapped behind is only going to cause more problems. Hire some scaffolding. Watch a few videos Get and sort the roof out as a spring DIY project not an option?

    Kitchen wood slat ceiling

    I've removed wood then boarded and skimmed. You could use insulated plasterboard. I've never seen uPVC in a kitchen. You could phone your current insurance company and ask. I don't think building regs are relevant unless you are under building control. You can do what you want. Not sure I've...

    Flush not pushing bellow.

    For the low cost in getting bits and for a couple of hours on a go slow just replace. I don't bother messaging with them. There are some systems which take seconds to unclip and replace part, so consider swapping with that type. Easy maintenance

    building/ upgrade a small road track

    You want crushed concrete either type 1 or 2. Whatever is cheapest. One is finer than the other. Just Google nearest gravel merchant and give them a call. Sometimes it's so cheap to buy like £20 a ton. A car parking space 4 inches thick is approximately 1 ton. You will need 20+ tons easy I'd...

    building/ upgrade a small road track

    Get a lorry load of crushed concrete. I think 20 ton is the biggest but see what's available. Buy it from local gravel yard. They will drop piles along track and you spread out by hand. If you don't want to do it get ground local ground workers. Any type one gravel will do but crushed concrete...
