cheers Ken, that is the reason for changing from the ribbed hose. Just wondered what would give me the best flow rate, solid round or solid flat ducting. Dave.

Hi folks, not been on here in a long time but looking for some advice. Needing to replace the flexi-hose on our shower fan as it is fairly well clogged with fluff. Have a total run of around 3m from end to end with an inline fan roughly 2m from the outlet. What would give me the best airflow...

Cheers Doggit, it used to leak in a few areas but now it is all along that one wall. Rainfall has been much, much heavier in the past so don't think that is the issue. Might need to remove the external bottom run of mastic then re-do the internal fillet with cement and PVA. Old lad is planning...

Yes its another sectional concrete garage question. Have recently re-sealed the vertical joints and base joint of an elderly friends garage using Everflex 115 Building Mastic. Yesterday, after a night of heavy rain he called to tell me the garage was leaking more than previously. The garage roof...

Seems to have opened a can of worms here. As you say RF, I only asked about bonding between the sink and pipes. All other Main bonding appears to be in place. Thanks again, dont know what makes Holmslaw think you are making an assumption when the OP clearly states the sink and pipes are metal...

Cheers RF, they still make the new metal sinks with bonding poits so obviously nobody told them or they just want to give the consumer the choice to bond if they want. I aint a spark but have done a few re-wires etc over the years and have always had work checked by a sparkie mate. Henc the...

Thanks for the speedy replies. Just thought I would double check the current(pardon the pun) situation. I have always bonded the sink and pipes up till now but wasn't sure if the landlord was trying to pull a fast one. Now I know, thanks again. Dave.

Hi folks, haven't been on here for a while but have a query for those in the know. Under current regulations (Scotland), is cross bonding between a stainless steel sink and the copper water pipes still required even if the consumer unit is fitted with MCB's and RCD' ? Landlord of a flat that...

WANTED-- Advice on how to cut the mitres on Uniclic profile skirting. Tried to follow the very limited and unhelpful instructions without success. You have to use a small wedge shaped packer behind the skirting when cutting in order to get the angle of the cut correct as the skirting is wider...

Thanks davieboy, managed to rest the indicator yesterday after finding the method on another site. Your info was exactly as described on other site and the same method I used. Another 2 methods with slight variations were also mentioned but I didn't try them. Many thanks for your reply...

Need some help to change the door seal on a Hotpoint Aquarius Condenser Tumble Dryer, model number TDC32. Apparently once the 4 screws on the face of the machine are removed the plastic cover holding the seal should come off. However ours doesn't. Does the sensor at the top of the door have to...

Does anyone know how to re-set the service/maintenance indicator on a Diesel Citreon Berlingo van (56 plate).? Dont want to go to Citreon as I have it serviced at our local Honda garage who deal with our CRV. Thanks in anticipation, Tanto.

We did have a thunderstorm that day but it was 4-5 hours after the problem surfaced. No damage to any of our equiptment and everything seams to be back to as it was previously.What is the nte?, nothing was replaced. Problem did not appear to affect any of the neighbours phones (we live at the...

Update. For anyone interested, BT visited this morning just 5 minutes after the phone started working. When my wife told him the phone was now working, he did a quick check at the socket before saying he would go to the exchange to check it out. Turs out that there had been a fault on the...

Hi folks, need some help please. This afternoon our phone line decided to stop working. We unplugged the phone at the master socket and tried another phone in the same socket, still not working. Called BT on the automated fault diagnosis number (from the mobile) and twice they tried to test...

Thanks for the reply Zampa, I have also been told to try a strong solution of sugar soap and lots of elbow grease. Will have a go this weekend. If it wont come off, we will go for plan B- papering over with a thick paper (border is at ceiling level so wont be so noticeable). Thanks again.

Any ideas on the removal of the adhesive used for what we think is the self-adhesive wallpaper borders? The border was put up about 8+ years ago by previous owner. Top layer of paper came off no problem using wallpaper remover and scraper but adhesive and a very thin coating of paper has...

Can anyone tell me if there are any regulations/stipulations regarding the minimum space required to fit an extra toilet ? We have a built-in wardrobe in our spare room, which measures 585mm x 1730mm and would like to convert this. Doors would be removed and the opening framed and...

Have a look at this website. www.abacusagents.co.uk They have a product called Tec-Sun, I used it in our south-facing conservatory and it has worked a treat. Fitted it myself after a quick demonstration by Peter from Dundee. Very easy to install.

why not lay a cascade system to reduce the chance of solids being left in the pipe? I had to use this to run a sewer pipe from house to Bio-disc at the bottom of slope approx 10 metres lower than the house and about 25 metres away. Building control suggested this method and were very helpful.
