Just a couple of quick questions for the experts. I want to re-roof my small shed. It's a flat roof with a slight slope. It will need two strips of felt across it with a slight overlap. Is felt adhesive good enough to hold down the felt, or do I need clout nails along the overlap too?
And as...
Thanks to both of you for your replies.
Ken - Thanks for the idea, I may well try it in the future when I have a bit more time.
For now I'll just use some silicone to get 'she who must be obeyed' off my back. Not large kitchen and bathroom, so will just run some masking tape along the bottom...
I have vinyl flooring laid in my bathroom and kitchen that has some kind of sealant filling the slight gaps between the flooring and the bottom of the skirtings. It is a bit grubby and has separated in quite a few places.
What sealant should I use to replace this? Ordinary silicone?
Reason I...
I want to replace the flex in all the standard ceiling pendants in my house (the short length between ceiling rose and bulb holder) as they are really discoloured. After decorating, the discolouration stands out. The roses and bayonet lamp holders are still good as new.
Can the experts tell me...
After a bit of advice please. I need some cheap (£30 ish) Wickes or B&Q type internal 4 or 6 panel primed internal doors to replace old ones in poor condition. Standard new doors seem to be 1981 in height. My doors are 1975, 1988, 1994, 2000 and 2007mm in height and all 762mm width. So the width...
I recently posted a question on here about changing a battery on my brother's 2006 Merc E220 to one of a higher output. All is well, and I'm grateful for the help I received.
However, I have some more questions. The car's battery is fitted in the boot on these cars. There is a breather tube for...
Bit of advice from the experts please. My brother's car battery has just died as they're prone to at this time of year. The spec on the current battery is 100Ah 760A. It's for a 2006 Merc E220 CDI diesel.
I've found an Exide which is a really good price, but the spec is slightly higher. It...
I'm the lucky ;-) ;-) owner of a lovely Worcester Greenstar 28i Junior MK3. I have a few non gas jobs to do to it which will involve me undoing the unions for flow and return and maybe cold in and hot out unions where the boiler meets the jig. It's the washers that sit on the top of the...
Thanks to both of you for your replies. Not tried the sugar soap yet, only just bought a box today from Toolstation. I assumed the grout being slightly recessed in a groove and not being a smooth surface would be very difficult to clean with sugar soap. I suppose I could try scrubbing with a...
My daughter bought a small flat that was owned by a heavy smoker. The bathroom and kitchen tiles are only a few years old, and both the tiles and grout are in excellent condition. Only problem is the grout has been discoloured by the nicotine/smoke in the house.
Is there a way to whiten the...
