Hi all, We're considering adding vertical oak slats (probably veneered mdf) on a few walls. For illustration purposes I attached a photo of what I'm referring to. I know there are 'acoustic' slat panels (we have samples) but I'd prefer installing individual slats directly to the wall. It's a...

Hi everyone, I'm looking to replace some BT socket module inserts with RJ45 module inserts on our wall sockets. I found out that the wall sockets are Eurolite and they do module inserts of different types (full catalogue here: https://prolinesales.co.uk/new-brochures/Eurolite Catalogue...

Hello, I plan to refinish the last two steps of what I think is an oak staircase (photos attached). I’m new to this and my understanding is that I need to sand to remove the old finish before applying the new one. I only plan to refinish the top surfaces. Two questions: 1 - is sanding enough...

Hi all, Our bedroom has dark grey walls and white ceilings. We want to paint both a soft white colour and achieve a uniform finish. We already have the paint (valspar v700) but I’m wondering if we should apply directly or apply some sort of undercoat first? we just want to avoid the walls...

Hi all, we have underfloor heating (water) in our house with a thermostat in each room. As it's an absolute pain to go round programming all of them, I've ordered a smart thermostat to try it out - if it works well I'll replace all of them. I was careful to order a thermostat for underfloor...

Hi all, sorry this is a lengthy one, 2 parts --> Part 1: I'm trying to figure out how to use the Samsung controllers that run our heat pumps. Confusingly we have 2 controllers and 2 inverters outside. It seems to me that one is for heating and the other for hot water? Does that even make...

Hi all, we have a wall in our bedroom that we want to remove. I don’t think it is load bearing and purely a design feature? Any advice how to proceed? thank you

Hi all, Sorry if this is the wrong sub forum to ask. Our heating system started tripping the rcd. Do we need to call an electrician or a heating engineer to have a look? The sequence of events is: turn on the rcd, control units light up, after a second trips the rcd. Its a air source heat pump...

Hi all, we moved to a house that has underfloor heating with a thermostat for each room. This makes programming a nightmare as every thermostat has its own schedule, time settings etc. Are there any smart thermostats that can be used to replace all the thermostats (about 15 of them) and...

Hello, moved to a new house last year and the floor tiles in the bathroom are loose, is there anything that can be done to fix them? At some point we'll redo the bathroom so it can be a temp fix. Some additional info in case it's relevant: the bathroom has electric underfloor heating, there...

Hi all, we moved to a house last year where ground floor is mostly natural stone. The tiles could be limestone or travertine but I'm not sure so I attached a few pics. In certain areas (e.g. around the kitchen island) the floor & grout is darker (dirty). Is there any way to clean & seal the...
