Hi Folks, I've started renovating my bathroom - everything ripped out and walls freshly skimmed. I have now got hold of howdens fitted bathroom furniture (concealed cistern / vanity cabs). Interestingly they basically supply regular wall cabinets, with modified fittings. I think this is a...

Hi. We have a log burning stove that was fitted into a grade II listed cottage at the end of 2006. It was installed by a friend of mine who is a city and guilds qualified builder. We are selling the house and have been asked for a certificate regarding the installation. As it was done by a...

Hi there, I need to replace my current broken electric boiler (Kingspan Senator) with a new Heatrae Sadia Amptec C900 alternative. After a sizeable quote from a heating engineer I'm hoping to give it a go myself. My question is how easy it to replace a unit like this? Are there any particular...

Hi All, Have found great advice on these forums without having to ask any questions before but now the time has come for me to finally be stumped and have to ask :) I have a brick built outhouse which I am going to sort out to be used as a gym. It does have damp proof membrane in the floor but...

Hi Guys, I'm new to the forums. Really signed up to ask a question, i have come across HiBond Block Paving sealer online but can't seem to find any reviews. Apparently it is also a DIY Product as they are selling 5l cans on Ebay. There website seems ok but i just wanted some more information...

Hi, sorry for another nest installation thread, but I couldn't find my answer in any of the others. I have recently purchased a new nest thermostat and was looking for a bit of advice. Basically, I have it wired in and connected to my heating and hot water (I have a hot water tank). When I...

We have a 40mm solid wood beech worktop fitted in our U-shaped kitchen. Two lengths and a third breakfast bar. The kitchen and wooden worktops were bought and delivered a year ago. Due to various reasons (including my own slow DIY skills) we have only now got to the point of fitting the...
