kitchen

I’ve just moved into a rented flat where the previous tenants have done quite a bit of damage. There are three holes/chips in the worktop next to the hob (see picture). Any idea how I can make these seem less noticeable please? I’m not very experienced with DIY so a less effective solution...

Hi, We’ve just had a new kitchen installed, but aren’t sure the best route forward in terms of beading. This has been our first project so we have unfortunately learnt a lot of things too late. We ended up getting the flooring (laminate) put in after the kitchen was fitted, but the fitter has...

Need some help in identifying the colour silicone we've got in our kitchen. Long story short Mrs wanted to use dc fix then changed her mind after I'd taken off the silicone in preparation :mad: We thought it was brown but when we looked in wickes brown was too dark. Could it be buff...

I am planning to build alcove shelving and a couple of cabinets in my lounge. I am OK with doing the shelves, as well as fitting the cabinets. However, I would like to have the units with doors done neatly which I doubt I can do myself with basic tools. Any advice on where to get bespoke units...

I got this far… i think the number inside is k937a01 But Google didn’t offer much help. There’s no other screws, bolts or pieces of gum holding it on that I can find. I’ve tried pulling on it, tapping it with a hammer and asking it nicely. But this thing just won’t come off. No brand on the...

Hi we've a set of hettich hinges on our intergrated washing machine but the doors open too far and I've noticed they do door restrictors. I was hoping somebody could point me in the right direction as to what restrictors I'd need. I've found a few different types...

Recently took the extractor hood and splashback down to replaced and noticed especially over the last few days thanks to storm eunice. You can see straight outside (n) no wonder the kitchens always felt cold,and never seems to hold the heat. Any advice on what vent I should get for the...

So I took my dishwasher out yesterday as I was going to change the drain hose but then realised I had the wrong one. So I put everything back but now when running it's saying check water. I've taken the chamber off and made sure its all clear I can see the water filling up but the dishwasher...

Dear all, Thanks for reading my post. In the process of redoing the flooring in my house (circa 1970s construction), the tradesman secured the stairs with screws, glue and brackets, which didn't do much. He then drilled holes into the stairs and filled the enclosed stairs undercavity with...

hi I bought a new oven and now my cabinet door is hitting off the oven handle. I looked online and saw you can buy restrictors but my hinges look different to the ones online. Can anyone give me some advice please. I have posted a couple of pictures which I hope demonstrate what I am on...

Good morning! Typical domino effect in progress in my kitchen. The old Lamona single oven is on the fritz, letting more heat out than it retains so we decide to buy a new one. Double oven and additional flexibility are the order of the day, and we opt for an AEG built under model. The fittings...

So I’m pretty sure the answer will be NO but here goes! I have a kitchen electrical grid (above counter) that controls all integrated appliances. The integrated appliances all have a sunglasses unstitched socket behind them. I now want to add a boiling water tap under the sink and it...

Morning all I'm after some advice on the best way to go with this. Sadly, when we had a big extension and kitchen fitted a few years ago, I didn't get power sockets fitted into the island. Big mistake! I'm now trying to see how easy/hard it would be to retrofit power to the island. I...

Hi, I've just ripped out the kitchen in the house I moved in to a few months ago . Behind the units on the external wall there's mold, but only low level. Some of the skirting was also rotten, and the some of the units were moldy on the back boards (inside and outside the carcass) I know the...

We're desperate for a dishwasher, but our kitchen is tiny. Where could we fit one? Underneath the boiler? It wouldn't be deep enough though because of the pipes...

Hey guys, I'm replacing kitchen tap and the earth bonding wires are connected to the tap tails which will be replaced with the flexi hose of the new tap, so what should I now connect the bonding wires to as all the remaining pipes are plastic? I've attached a pic of what im talking about. From...

Hello, I'm currently in the process of having a new kitchen fitted and having my washing machine relocated. Unfortunately the waste pipe which I think is 50mm is slightly too far from the wall. I ideally need it to be attached to the wall but it is currently at least 3cm away from it...

Hello everyone, We will be installing a new kitchen and would like to simplify somehow the piping under the sink (see attached pic for what we currently have). The brass pipe in the pic controls the water in the house and also an outdoor tap, but it's very bulky and takes up most of the space...

Washing machine makes loud knocking noise on 1400 spins (transport bolts are out and machine is level) I have 12mm laminate on 5mm foam underlay in the kitchen to which the washing machine sits. The rear of the laminate where it reaches the back wall is somewhat 'bouncy' and i believe this is...

Hi everyone We're in the midst of an extension / kitchen remodel and need to make a decision on worktop. We're having a 3500 run of cupboards and a 2400x1200 island. Just two cutouts for sink (inset so no drainage grooves or anything like that) and hob. We've chosen the quartz we want...
