i need to insulate my loft as it is an old house with 100mm of fibreglass insulation already down which is not very effective. the prob is that i plan to do a loft converstion in five years maybe sooner, and need to know if i need to put a specialist insulation or if there is any special...

Hi - my loft insulation really is old and bad - so i am going to completely re-lay it. I only intend to do this once - so would like to do it with the best stuff. Cost is not of a major concern - I would rather get it done right. Which type/brand whould you recommend? many thanks TKL

Some electrics have been moved around in the kitchen splashback area and now it needs to be re-tiled. mosaics are going to be used. Please look at the picture ... what would be the recommended preparation process prior to tiling? Many thanks

Hi Thanks for looking - I have a Trianco Aztech 12KW fitted and it has started making a 'noise' - after a call to Trianco technical support and a bit of diagnosis it appears that the cooling fan at the back of the unit has grit/grime in it or the bearing has failed, so cleaning/replacment is...

Hi It looks like I might be aquiring a new 60cm built under/in cooker and also a non matching 77cm Hob. Will these be able to be fitted into a kitchen together or will the larger hob fowl the 2 lower cupboards either side of it? Many thanks Tomato

Hi - real DIY Newbie question here.. was going to use some homelux plastic seal under my tiles (bath already siliconed to plasterboard). then It struck me wouldn't it be better to tile up to the bath - put another later of silicone between tiles and bath then add an 'over tile' bath trim...

I am planning to buy a Salamander ESP 100 CPV pump to boost my presure. looking at its spec all its inlets and outlets are in 22mm. Checking my pipework in airing cupboard some cold is 15mm and hot is 22mm. Will it be okay to convert the 15mm to 22mm for the sake of the pump and back again...

Hi - I have some serious presure problems in a house I just got. Not helped by me fitting a bath with a waste filler (1 x 15mm feed)... so... ergo - fit a shower pump - I spoke to Salamander who recommended a ESP 50 CPV (1.5 bar) (they would - one of the most £££) . A second conversation...
