B&Q £10 bargains

Have they only got one size of rad covers on special offer ?

1100 is too wide for mine

Since the hedge trimmer fiasco, I am boycotting B&Q and going elsewhere. They obviously hope it will drum up trade, so I'm spending my money elsewhere.

Yes it was just that one size.

No and they don't go together very well either,well that's what i found.I had to take 4 back(i got 6) as they didn't fit with either the door not shutting or in the bedroom them being higher than the window sill:D

The other half wanted them palms aswell so i picked up 2 of one and 1 of the other but they went through at normal price and they had to override it and enter them for a fiver.

I managed to grab a rad cover yesterday......been thinking about getting one for ages, so this was the impetus to actually stop dithering and get one.

Looks good in my opinion ( I have been looking for ages !) esp for £12.xx which is what mine went thru at.
BUT must admit fitting it together.... RUBBISH

Went back in store yesterday to see if it was ME doing it wrong.
I finally got it to 'CLIP' together by unscrewing the chrome peg that sticks out a bit. I think they must have been screwed in too far, or the instructions ( which are dire) doesn't explain well enough.

Hope this help others who may be struggling ( or was it just me :rolleyes: )use a flat blade screwdriver to UNSCREW the peg by half a turn.

I have tried my now complete rad cover round the house, and if I had better diy skills I would buy a few more, but they would need some work to get them to fit behind doors, around pipes etc.
Still quite a few left in my store, so tempted to get some more and get a carpenter to 'help me' adapt them to my other rooms

Looks a darn sight more attractive than the radiator !!

Are these offers only available on that friday or do they run until they are sold out. Wish I had read this thread earlier would have really liked a couple of palms. Never mind.

Dalkirst

I think they run until sold out as i can't remember reading anything about it being a one day only sale?
Things might last a bit longer as i remember finding the lawnmower when i was walking around and noticed it wasn't showing the reduced price at all and was still £99.99 so people unless they know what they are looking for would never know.

Whilst you are in B&Q, you might like to look over their MIG welders if you are in the market for one. I found out today that they are changing supplier and the Cosmo ones are on run-out over the next 14 weeks. My local B&Q in Bridge of Don, Aberdeen was selling the 130 AMP MIG Gas/Gasless for £100 instead of the usual £150. Only seem to be reducing the display stock it seems at the moment.

bit of a specialist item lol, surely with the quality of modern cars these days its pretty rare for a standard consumer to need any type of welding gear, might be better off hireing one.
