Thanks for your help - I'll check it out.

Hi - just a quick bit of advice needed please. We have a restored Victorian cast iron fireplace & we're going to make a hearth out of terracotta coloured quarry tiles (6x6). The question is, should we use floor tile spacers or should it be smaller spaces & what colour grout would we use. I'm...

Hi - I was just wondering if anyone had any experience of Door Shed, based in Sheffield as I am thinking of ordering some interior doors from them. Thanks very much. T.

Hi - we've just finished ceramic tiling ours. After we'd replaced a couple of dodgy floorboards & nailed down the rest properly we put exterior grade ply down first & then PVA'd it before tiling. I don't know if it's different for vinyl/other tiles. We used an adhesive which can be used for...

I'd agree - definitely tile after. I would think the only reasoning behind tiling first is so you don't have to cut as many tiles to fit but as long as you plan it out properly it should be fine. When we did our bathroom, because of the size of it & because we were tiling the walls & floor, we...

Brill - cheers for that. The floor's literally just ready for the tiles to go on now but as it's the first time we've done it I thought I'd better check for any no-no's on the adhesive.

Hi - sorry to hijack your thread! We're starting laying our bathroom tiles this weekend - we've already done the preparation, laid exterior grade ply so it's fully even etc. I was just wondering if you had any tips on which particular adhesive & grout are the best to use? Thanks very much.

Thanks, that's brill. My other half suggested WD40 but I told him that was probably ridiculous! Never considered vaseline - that's exactly what the stuff supplied looked like too. Thanks again for you help!

Hi, we've just put up our folding shower screen & we need to get some "Silicone Lubricant" for round the glass & joints. There was a tiny packet of it in with the screen but we can't find tubes/tubs of it for sale. It was about the consistency of vaseline & doesn't set at all. Would it be...

Hi - when we installed our towel radiator in the bathroom we just drained the upstairs ones. It seemed to do the trick.

Cheers for your help everyone - she's told the other bloke not to come as there's not enough room on the drive for the stagecoach so she's got a "proper" guy coming round now! Thanks!

Cheers for that - shame we're not in Kent!!

That's great thanks - my sister had someone to repair hers & he's told her to go & buy a thermocouple, An air pressure switch & a gas valve & solenoid & then he'll fit them! Didn't sound right to us at all! Thanks very much for your help.

Hi - please can anyone advise if all gas boilers have thermocouples? In particular I need to know if a Potterton Profile 60e has one. Cheers v much!

Thank you. I sent Potterton an e-mail earlier this morning so I'm waiting to hear from them too. Thanks for you help.

Hello, I wonder if somebody could help please. We have just moved into a house with a Potterton Lynx Electronic Combi Boiler & there are no instructions for water pressure. I can't find anything on the internet searces I've done either so I'm presuming it's a really old boiler! We've bled all...
