If your not happy with them at all then ask the supplier. You say you used brick acid but the thing...

    100 meter disaster! Help Help

    Good stuff that brick acid, it probably would help but do you recon the cement might have penetrated the slabs. Some of the cheaper ones fade like a good un. Personally I would bleach em to death and use a jet washer afterwards. P.S. dont mix the brick acid with the bleach as it creates chlorine...

    Fitting an Aga before a new kitchen!

    All sounds like hard work to me,wait untill the people are fitting the flue and get them to work out where it will enter the kitchen. Also get the plan view of the aga from the people who make it and give that to the flue installers so the two should align or at least be able to be connected...

    Understanding Sump Pumps

    mmm I agree with CH, the substrates will collect at the bottom of the pit especially with clay in the form of a slurry. Over time this will harden and jam the pump espacially the light duty plastic one illustrated( I have one). Correct me if ime wrong but i would use an SWA cable on a...

    joints in plaster

    You probably see the joints when light shines at an acute angle across the wall and technically you should not be able to see them.I cant think scim tape wasnt used but a one coat plaster system probably was say a three mill skim of multicoat. the trueness of the finish is related to the truness...
