The electricians working on the extension have added to the existing lighting circuit, I'd love people opinion on it.....

Is this acceptable practice for an outside tap? At the far end it's T'd into the mains supply, then concreted into the floor of what will be the conservatory. I think it's a bodge, but am I being over picky?

Got up this morning, turned the shower on & after about 30s it shuts off. Builders have been in doing plumbing so assumed they had forgotten to turn something on so checked everything, all on. Hot water to all other taps, just nothing from the shower. 5mins goes by & again some water comes...

A mate is having his flu moved. I said you need to be Corgi registeted to do it, he says you don't. Could somebody settle the argument

Conservatory should be going up soon once planning is signed off. I was wondering as to the best way to heat a conservatory, is it suitable to simply 'T' into the existing CH & add another radiator?

We gave up late last year looking for somewhere in a location we liked that we could afford, so we are extending our humble abode. Nothing in comparison to some on here, but thought I'd share anyhow. It's a 3m x 3m double storey extension to give a larger office upstairs & a...

We have a lean to type conservatory going onto our measuring w5.5mxd2.7m, cavity insulated wall one end, house wall at the other, double glazed roof & double glazed full width bi-folds along the front. Could anybody please give me a rough estimate as to the heating requirement (w or btu) of...

We are getting a conservatory built & we like the idea of pushing the windows out as far as possible on top of the wall * not having a cill out the external side of the window. Is this possible or are the cills a requirement?

Been looking for a while now for a balanced flu non recessed gas fire, but I can't find anything anywhere we like. Anybody got any good websites for gasfires?

Just waiting on the colour matched glass for the wall behind the hob, and the glass upstands, oh and the new back door, and it's done.

Having a discussion with a chap at work, he has a ring main he wants to add a spur to, I said if he's adding a single socket, he may as well make it a double if it's permissable, he wasn't sure is it is or not, nor am I, so I saidf I'd ask you chaps.

Just a quick heads up to warn people about some very poor service I have received. Three or four weeks back we purchased a double under oven & a £400 gas hob form The Appliance Warehouse as detailed here - http://www.taw-sales.co.uk/products/1180. This weekend we came to fit the...
