Cheers for that. I'll definately give that a look. The issue with the one I had 'Kudox' was being knocked out by B&Q's for £19.99 on special offer so I was dubious as towards it quality as such a price. The plumber said that I'll struggle to get any heat out of it and that it ticks/clicks...

I've just bought a ladder style radiator from one of the sheds but the plumber reckons that its a load of old cack and he's had problems with them before. Does anyone know of any websites/SE london shops doing any special offers at the moment. Looking for about 600x900, chrome, nothing...

I'm in the middle of erecting my new decking and have just been told by someone that decking 'could' affect your council tax. They reckon that local councils are planning on doing arial fly pasts to see if anyone has large areas of decking. Am I being fed a load of old sh?? or has anyone else...

I plan on using some tumbled stone tiles as a border in my bathroom. I'm not sure what sort of natural stone they are but they're brown (mid to dark) in colour. However, at the moment (not yet on the wall) they have a whiteish/chalky haze on them. I've scrub them with HG lime and cement remover...

Can't seem to find what section for this question so I'll try here. With regards to Adhesives such as Gripfill, they do a solvent and solvent free type. Whats the difference and why/when would you choose one over the other? Secondly, I've noticed that sealants come in low or high modulus...

The wife just called me all enthusiastically to tell me that she's just put the first coat on our newly plastered bathroom walls. ''How much did you water the paint down by'' I asked. ''Oh, I didn't use paint, I watered down some PVA like when we paint over bits that have been pollyfilled in...

I'm about to start work on a new deck (5mx7m). Couple of quetions if anyone could help please. Is 6x2 timber ok to construct the frame? How do I attach the joist to the outer frame. Was going to use masonary joist hangers cos they look quite stong, is this a yes or no-no? Lastly, how far...

Just had a new combi boiler fitted. When the hot (bath) tap is turned on slighty, the pipes start banging REALLY loudly and it seems the only cure is to open the tap more....not great if you don't want full pressure from the mixer head/ Is this normal/curable?

Hi. First time fitting a shower tray and could do with some advice please. The tray is one of the hollow fibreglass type with quite good ground clearance ie big step into tray... 1. How do I secure it to the floor? Does it need legs or does it hold the weight by its own structure. 2. To get...
