  • Building storage under the stairs

    We want to build storage under the stairs but we're not sure what makes best use of the space. Do you think building in a cupboard, shelves or pull-out storage is better?

    replacing a shower in rented housing

    When it comes to renting, if I as a tenant would like to make some non-essential changes to my apartment (e.g. replace the shower), is it up to me to pay for the cost entirely? If a landlord approves of a shower upgrade, is he/she liable to help out with the payment to any extent or is it entirely up to me to cover the cost?

    No water coming out of the hot tap

    The radiators weren't heating up properly. I bled the radiators (which didn't actually have any air in them, so were ok). I added some pressure (too much... so bled a radiator again till it was 1.4 bar (cold). Boiler played up so had to turn it off and on a few times. Heating was then able to come on (still only little heat so may possibly be sludge or something in radiators). Key thing, however, is that then, when I turned the hot tap on, nothing came out at all.... nor since. Pls can someone advise me! No hot water in during this cold snap is not fun. Particularly at the weekend! Thanks.

    Can you plaster over paint?

    We've had the walls painted and then decided we want to skim them to get a perfectly smooth finish. Does the paint need to come off first? What are the steps that a plasterer would take here?

    mixer shower replacement

    I want to replace our old shower (exposed valve type) with a bar valve shower. the 15mm pipe connections are 160mm apart and all bar valves are standard 150. I know offset connectors might work but on forums, people say its difficult to get the connectors to 150 AND level. its a tiled wall so don't want to remove tiles, but short of fitting the same type of shower.......any advice?
