Hi all Has the 'fashion' for laminate and wood flooring all but died..? We used to have a myriad of flooring shops here in Southampton... not any more :shock: where have they all gone and why.? Yes i know you can buy online, but i'm the type of person that likes to see and feel the product...

Morning all.... I was in B&Q yesterday, just having a mooch, and was approached by a guy asking if i was 'in the trade'. I said i wasn't, but used to be. "oh... what did you do.... ?" I explained etc... "oh, thats a shame you're now out of it, oh well never mind" "Are you a landlord as...

Sorry.... it was late last night so no chance of taking any pics.... however.... the wood just looks silvery grey, like any wood after years of oxidising then remembered i have an old tool catalogue dating from the early 60's, so scanned the page of what looks like the same spirit level...

Hi guys... Just acquired an old Rabone Marples wooden spirit level, approx 3ft long (not yet measured it) with the intention of refurbishing it (from the look of it it used to belong to a builder (hammer) as its covered in dried cement ) Just taken it apart this afternoon and cant help but...

This is for anyone who has Solar pv panels and who have subsequently installed a controller/diverter to their hot water immersion heater/tank. Have any of you done/installed one.? has it been successful.? was it a DIY job or did it need an electrician/contractor.? Which make/brand/model did...

We too have a bath from Bathstore, its a 'double ended one' with central waste, and its been in about the same length of time as yours has.... and yes they have a 'lifetime' guarantee, see here... https://www.bathstore.com/terms#warranty scroll down to condition(s) no.12 and you will see that...

I'm not a bath expert (other than using one :) ) but i do have 30yrs of grp experience (mostly making tooling for general grp mouldings, boats, windturbines etc), and i can say that in all that time i've NEVER seen or heard of this before... :shock: With just your fingertips running...

I think i'm right in saying the Worcester Bosch comes with a 10yr guarantee and the Vaillant a 5yr (that's what we have) and from what i remember you must have a Magna-clean fitted as part of the warranty (other makes are available :mrgreen: ) Yes, as you say its a very strong magnet that...

Gas i presume.? No.1 Worcester Bosch No.2 Vaillant No.3 ......there is no no.3 Supply and fit allow £2,200 - £2,500. For that price they should be fitting a 'Magna-Clean and doing a power flush and the trv's too. Get several quotes and if you can get a fitter that comes recommended.!!

Strange that as we have the CADENZA NATURAL OAK from B&Q in our dining room (approx 14sq mtrs) and it went down a dream (hammer) 4yrs on and yes its had the odd 'mishap' with things being dropped etc and the lacquer has faded/changed colour slightly, but other than that we're VERY pleased...
