I'm looking for a new front door and am keen on composite now I've seen the one my Mum just had fitted. I'm in Cardiff and the local firms want an arm and a leg for one door - £2k+ fitted.

Carbon Monoxide Alarm
I need to get a Carbon Monoxide alarm as we have a gas fire and I feel it is necessary even with having the fire serviced. There seem to be so many on the market, are any better than others? I was looking at this one as it's compact and could be popped in a corner / on a shelf without being intrusive…

ViewMaster Projector - Upgrade to LED?
I have one of these: However, the bulb is clearly from the 1970's and slowly dying. So I was thinking about upgrading the whole thing to LED - including the power, which currently has some sort of converter that looks rather unsafe. Can anyone suggest a small lamp that I could butcher? I'm looking at something like a GU10…

Central Heating Problems
We're having a problem where the central heating system and the water only come on when the timer is set for it to, but it will not come on if we manually put on the heating. Not sure if the thermostat is working - if we turn the heating on manually and then turn the thermostat to the highest setting, it still doesn't kick…

New washing machine - advice
I'm after a new washing machine :T:D I'm leaning towards an LG model because of the Direct Drive motor. I've narrowed it down to two from AO.com: * LG F14U1TCN2 8Kg 1400 rpm - white * LG F14B8TDA 8Kg 1400 rpm - white The F14U1TCN2 comes with a 2-year warranty but can be extended to 5-years free of charge, but it has fewer…

New kitchen bit by bit
We are not in desperate need of a new kitchen, however some aspects need replacing (hob, cooker hood potentially, sink and taps) so wondering if doing so is a huge issue when, further down the line, we change the worktops and units?

New gas hob
So it turns out that the gas hob in our new house is a bit grim and doesn't work particularly well, so a new one is required. Never bought one before so no idea what to look for. Nothing overly cheap or expensive, mid range basically. I assume that: - most are of a standard size - one lifts out and new one dropped in,…

Cost of a house rewire
I am new to MSE and this forum and would be very grateful for people's thoughts. My situation is essentially this. I own a small, three bedroom terraced house. It was originally a two up, two down but the second bedroom was turned into two smaller bedrooms before I bought the house - so it really is a small house. In…

How much to replace lintel?
After removing an insanely low arch (at the lowest point it was lower than 5ft) we found it covered up a slapdash attempt to prop up the lintel (most likely where there was once a window before the extension was built). How much should I expect to be quoted to replace the lintel with a larger one that could fit into the…

removing a roof aerial
I've got a very old, rusty tv aerial attached to my chimney which I want to get taken down. It doesn't work and we have a sky dish anyway so don't need it, and it's started rapping against the chimney when it's windy so I want to get it down before it causes any damage. Who would I need to get to remove it though? Would…
