Hi, I currently have a tiled floor in my conservatory which has been laid over a (very) flexible timber floor. Joints have cracked up and even a couple of files have broken due to the flex. There is an electric underfloor heating system under the tiles. My question is, rather than relaying the floor...

Hi, I think I have been supplied some duff tap connectors but wanted to check first. I have purchased a new bathtap which comes complete with flexible connector hoses. I have done all the plumbing ready but checked the hoses first and the nut end to connect to the plumbing doesnt screw onto any 22mm...

Thanks for all the advice. kind of had the decision forced on me as they delivered me a damaged bath and I needed to get on. so have measured out and have tiled everything except last row down to bath. fingers crossed my measurements are ok!

This is probably an obvious and simple question but I am baffled. I have a new sink which has a 'slotted' waste. The slots are not covered and below the plug and above the trap connection. Surely these willl leak when connected or am I missing something obvious, All help greatly received.....thanks .

I am replacing existing, not installing new. have sourced a new rad with same dimensions so should be straightforward, famous last words! I am ignorant about CH and Megaflows etc as I am in a new house and previously had a flat with tank and immersion - the simple life. Thanks for the help and advice.

Hi, I am installing a new floor in my bathroom and the laminate instructions say not to screw a toilet to the laminate floor. I can see the point of this due to movement etc but i dont fancy a 12mm gap around the base filled with sealant. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to achieve a better f...

Hi, I have a tiled conservatory floor which the previous owner laid over a flexible timber floor, the obvious has happened with open joints, broken tiles and movement. Under the tiles is an electric underfloor heating system. I think my simplest solution is to overlay the lot with a new laminate. Ba...

Any advice greatly appreciated.....thanks

Thanks for the help - is tiling down to the bath best? If the ceiling is not square to the wall etc would this not carry down to the bath and show a line different to the bath level. I may be being dumb but am new to this...

Hi, I am after a bit of advice. I am doing up my bathroom and installing a new bath. Which is best; tile the wall then push the bath up to the tiles and seal OR push bath up to wall and then tile up from edge of bath so they overlap the bath slightly?

Many thanks

Hi Can anyone recommend a decent supplier of 12v outside wall lights, not security type, but something fairly decent looking. Before you ask i have an existing 12v circuit which is easily accessible for the lights where i want them. To put in a new lighting curcuit will be a bit of a nigthmare and i...
