Hi, Looking to refurb our bathroom, starting with the ceiling. Current ceiling is artex covered, with a single light in the middle and a passive vent that is piped and exits through the roof (handy). In an ideal world, I'd like 3-4 recessed downlighters and an extractor fan placed centrally...

Hi, I've hung an 1800 x 568 vertical rad up in our kitchen ready to be plumbed in. It weighs 48kg dry and sits on 4 metal brackets that have 2 fixing holes each. Afaik the wall is plaster on brick. The metal nut type fixings I bought initially didn't fit through the bracket holes (the fixings...

See pic - ignore wires :) Looking to build a false wall along where the C/H pipes are to cover them up and create a nice flat wall to probably place a fridge and some tall units or shelving. My question is, if I were to batten this block wall to attach plasterboard can I get away with just...

Ignoring wire world on the photo just for a second :), I have a question about the best method to get these central heating pipes moved into (or as close to) the corner as possible, so that I can box them in neatly into the corner and along the ceiling. It's in 22mm copper, so my first thought...

Hi, Adding another worktop related post to the fray. I can't see anywhere on tinterweb about reducing the width of a worktop. Which makes me think that it's probably not a great idea. I've ordered 3m lengths of laminate worktop that is 635mm wide for a kitchen fit. Ideally, they need to be...

Hi, first attempt at doing this. I’m looking to board up this internal door but not really sure how to remove the inner door frame so that I can attach stud work. I’m assuming it needs to come off first? Feels very securely attached - I already pulled some plasterboard off - is there a method...
