I want more pressure for 2 showers and the kitchen sink. I was thinking of replacing the gravity fed cylinder with an unvented cylinder to get mains pressure but because of awkward discharge positioning and the £700 cost (fitting myself, including building control checks) I have been thinking it...

Hi I have just removed my kitchen tiles and the 3/2mm skim coat came with most of them so I removed the rest (leaving some sort of brown plaster/screed behind). I am going to tile again but having never tiled or plastered before I can't decide whether it is worth putting a finish layer of...

I live in Gloucester and used the time we spent without water (after the flood?) to replace a stuck stop tap and some shoddy pipework nearby as the stop tap chamber in the road was blocked and it seemed like a good opportunity. Must admit I was a bit nervous I would return from work and find the...

Every morning I am woken by my hot water system (it's that or a cold shower) and I'm hoping someone might be kind enough to help. Basically the hot water loop makes this gargling glugging sort of noise pretty much for the duration (this appears to originate in the area shown in the picture...

I have just reduced the size of my fireplace foundation ready for a new smaller fireplace so now need to extend the subfloor over the gap ready for a solid wood floor on top. I need to bed this short section of joist into a gap in a couple of breeze blocks ready to support the subfloor...

Hi I've been back and forth trying to decide on which flooring to use. Different shops/contractors all seem to contradict each other. I have found a supplier of high quality solid oak that would be much cheaper than any engineered flooring (it also looks much better) so am hoping to use it...
