Can anyone recommend somewhere where I might be able to get hold of a class 2 switched picture light (preferably in chrome or nickel finish)? I've been googling until my eyes have gone, well, googly, but wanted to see whether any of you in the know might have any ideas? Many thanks Jo.

Ahead of getting my double glazing fitted, I’m getting the window sills and pillars ready for painting. I’ve scraped off, wired brushed and sanded down the flaking paint and now I’m a bit stuck as to where to go next. It's all a bit patchy - in some areas where the paint has come off...

Had a couple of quotes yesterday for replacement sash windows for my lounge bay and bedrooms windows. One quote was £4,800, the other was "between £5 and £6k" for the following: 2 windows 140cm high x 76cm wide 2 windows 176cm high x 55.5cm wide 1 window 176cm high x 81cm wide Both said...

I live in a terraced house a bit like this http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/0cYFg7ycdT4Or/340x.jpg and am planning to paint the front door and porch. Front door, no probs, I'm clear on that. But the porch had previously been painted in gloss but I'm thinking that using a masonry matt...

I just wanted to ask for your recommendations on exterior paint - there are so many own brand & premium ones available, I'm not sure whether it's best to pay top dollar for a premium brand, or whether own brands which, although cheaper, are as good as anything else. Thanks in advance.

I've just had my kitchen refitted and some electrical work was done including the fitting of a new ring main. I have just one question - should I have received a certificate to say that the new electrics are safe? Thanks.

My parents need to replace their semi-integrated dishwasher which they've had for a good 10 years. They're concerned that the door cover they have may not fit a new semi-integrated machine? Can anyone tell me if the panels which you fix the door cover to are standard sizes? Many thanks...

I'm just about to order a washing machine and dishwasher for my new (soon to be built) Ikea kitchen. The door covers will be 70cm high, the plinth will be 16cm making a total of 86cm height onto which the worktop will be placed. I've found a dishwasher with a height of 82cm - however, in...

I'm looking for a 4m x 620mm depth worktop for my new Kitchen (ordered from Ikea meaning the cupboards are 600mm deep). Anyone have any ideas where I might be able to find them? I'm looking for a 3m and 4m length so I won't have to have any joins on either side of the kitchen but...

Probably a stupid question but are the holes in integrated washing machines (where you put the door hinges in) standardised in terms of where they're sited on the machine front? And am I right in assuming that integrated dishwashers have the furniture door glued in some way to the machine...

I have a shower switch in my hallway (next to the bathroom door). I'm not sure what it's for as the only shower I have, is the one is on the bathroom tap! I've switched it on and the light doesn't come on, but even so, I'm assuming it is actually wired up. Anyway I want to remove it as I...
