    Will replacing one row of tiles directly above kitchen worktops be noticeable

    Thanks, Dave, I had not thought of that idea. However, this stuff is looking favourite at the moment. Most importantly the other half likes it too but I will mention your idea...

    Will replacing one row of tiles directly above kitchen worktops be noticeable

    I am going to have a look at some tile transfers to see if I can find any that will complement the colour of the paint that I intend to have the worktops painted. There are loads on Amazon. Hopefully, I can find something suitable which will save a lot of hassle and expense and my objective is...

    Will replacing one row of tiles directly above kitchen worktops be noticeable

    Thanks for your post, Robert. From what you say, using the exact make and range of tile would appear to be the best option but I do not know the tiler who fitted the tiles. I am in a bit of a quandary now?

    Will replacing one row of tiles directly above kitchen worktops be noticeable

    All the tiles on the splashbacks around the kitchen are 20cms by 20cms. The row of tiles I am considering replacing are white with a horizontal strip-like pattern in them. I am considering replacing them with plain white tiles of the same size to match the rest of the tiles. The tiles have been...

    Problem with the Final Spin on my Philips Whirlpool Washing Machine

    The machine is an AWG1897191380275 front loader. I think I am correct in saying it should end the cycle with three spins. Each spin used to get progressively faster. However, on the final spin, the drum is not getting the final aggressive spin it should. It is just spinning at about the same...

    No Building Regs Cert for Gas Boiler - What to do?

    I had a new conventional condensing boiler installed in my flat in February 2002. Since new, it has had the PCB replaced twice the fan once plus a new electrode lead and it is still going strong. It is rumoured that the freeholder who manages the block of flats is going to be carrying out an...

    Good day folks, Would it be against the electrical regulations to connect a combi boiler up to a domestic properties (ground floor flat) electricity supply if it is installed on a single leaf brick wall?

    Please help me find a suitable kitchen sink

    I had a kitchen sink fitted to a BTL property about ten years ago and it is still looking good after a couple of tenants. I would like to have the same one fitted to another property but I can't locate the guy who fitted it to ask him the make and model. Having said that, it is probable that it...

    Noisy Radiator

    The HE was a young whipper snapper but I would n't use him again. I've heard he's now quoting ridiculous prices, I don't mind paying a bit above the going rate for a good tradesman, I appreciate the skills and experience you boys have. Anyway, many thanks for your help also.

    Noisy Radiator

    Tom, I was only following the guidance given to me by the heating engineer that installed my boiler and immersion tank about 12 years ago. I have to say that the colours on the circular front of the valve give you the impression that the lever was meant to be able to control how much hot water...
