Hello! I have an old brick single garage 18' x 7'6", which is very damp, it has no dpc, is single brick with a slate roof and is at the bottom of a sloping drive. Do I need planning permission to demolish the garage, lay a raised slab, and erect a log cabin in it's place? The slab only needs to...

We have about 100 members and everyone needs access. Our keys do not have a fob so if someone finds them in the street, they won't know where they come from.

Thanks for the advice. Our alarm is not a smart alarm it's been in for as long as I can remember. The idea was to upgrade so that not all members need the code, but the alarm is on when the last member leaves of the evening. We did try one that had two cameras and was activated from an app. Six...

Hello! At our bowls club, we have an alarm that is activated by a keypad, we would ideally like an alarm that is activated just by locking the front door. Unlocking would deactivate the alarm. Any idea where I can find such an alarm? We don't want an alarm that requires an app, we tried one of...

I've made a template out of cardboard. Job done!

Thank you, I have looked at the doors but, you know what IKEA is like non-standard measurements.

Hello, Does anyone have a template for the fitting of the Ferrari 26mm hinges to cabinet doors, please? I am revamping the bathroom and have an IKEA Vanity unit that I want to replace the doors on. Cheers,

Thanks very much for the info.

Hello! I have an Aquarama Saturnia comfort shower cabin, It needs a new thermostatic cartridge, however I can't find out which one. The company I bought it from no longer have spares and the manufacturer no longer exists. It looks like a Vado hub-100a-wax. Which is probably right, however I need...

Thanks, StillP! Cheers, colin

Thanks very much for the information. However is 2.5 mm Heat resistant cable OK?

Hello! I'm refurbishing my kitchen and have purchased a Samsung NV75J7570RS oven. The installation manual shows two different cables H05RR-F or H05VV-F 1.5 - 2.5 mm. I assume that 2.5mm heat resistant flex would by OK! Is that true? Cheers, Colin

Hello! At my bowls club we have a non-slip vinyl which is glued down, and a cord carpet that is also glued down. There is a black rubber strip glued over the joint. Does anyone know where I can get the black rubber sealing strip. I have made some alterations to the floor, I have...

Hello! I have the same problem in a older house. Does anyone know if any toxic chemicals are being given off as the smell seems to effect my wife's asthma. Cheers, Colin

the copper one from Eco-equipped has got a warrenty of 25yrs. the copper one I have at present has only lasted 8 years.

Thank you, For all the interesting points, obviously you have differing points of view as to the effectiveness and usefulness of a thermal store. The present store (which has the leak) has a recommended boiler size of 12kw. I have a 12kw boiler, when I did the heat calculations for my house...

Until this leak happened the present store of 140ltrs, would be enough for 4 of us to shower in the morning. The boiler would run from 6 to 6.30 to charge the store, this would provide enough for the day until tea time when another 30 mins refresh did the evening. Now the leak is cooling...

thanks for the info, However the thermal store is just for DHW and is only 180ltrs max. The DHW is not over hot 65c max. I did before I changed the boiler 2 yrs ago look at a combi, but, to work my hot water sauna I ned 11ltr/min at 55c. The combi's I found were all rated at 35c...

Thanks, Thermal man. That's given me a better idea, I shall probably go for the DPS Pandora. The other one I had in mind was the Eco-Equipped Copper Thermal store. Cheers!

Agile, The advantage as I see it is; 1. Can be a DIY job. 2. No annual maintainance required. 3. Does not need building regulations approval. 4. Does not require electrical supply unless immersion heater is required. A part from those four, I can't think of anything else. Of...
