Fairly simple. There's a large cupboard with a brick back and one brick side. The other side is plasterboard and I can't puncture this side. No need for me to explain why. That rules out screws, nails, and other things that make holes. I want to fit a wardrobe rail between the two walls...

Hi all My washing machine is the last thing on one wall, at the end of a row of cabinets. The worktop will cover all of them, and float over the washing machine. I want to put an end panel in after the washing machine to support the worktop, but I'm not sure how best to do this. I'd like a...

I have a circular saw - the handheld type - and soon I will have some wood to cut. How can I make sure I cut straight? I don't have a workshop or anything and not much space except out back. What should I get to get the job done? Thanks

Can anyone recommend a good 15mm Forstner bit? I've seen some in ScrewFix - some with bad reviews, some with average. I want something that can cut a few dozen holes in hardwood (Wallnut, Oak, Ash) without noticeable deterioration. It's to cut holes for Cam & Dowel fittings. Seems to be the...

I've asked everywhere I can think of, and I still haven't got a straight answer on this, so I thought 'd ask here :-) I will have a solid wooden worktop, into which I plan to fit an Abode Tydal sink (single bowl). The sink requires a large cut-out, coming very close to the front and rear...

Hi all Can anyone help me to source a very long washing machine inlet and outlet pipe in the UK? I just want the washer on the opposite wall to the plumbing and don't fancy ripping out the whole kitchen in order to put pipes in, so flexible pipes under the cabinets seems like a good plan. I'd...

Yesterday I got a new carpet put in, and it looked great. Today I brought the sofa back in and now there's a dark line which traces the path of one of the wheels. I thought that the tufts had just been pushed up but after half an hour of cleaning the line remains and the turfs all seem to be...

Hi Does anyone know how I can cut a nail out of some wood? I can't pull it out, so just want to cut around it. Something like a circular chisel or hollow drill bit would do. Thanks

This was going well until I started putting the things on the walls. Now my lovel perfect skirting boards are starting to look a little worse for wear. They're getting a bit more hammering than I thought because every time I get one side on then go to further along, the first set of nails pops...

Hi all Can anyone tell me where to get cheap skirting board? Thanks

I haven't fiited it yet, or bought the worktop, and I have been advised that it could be problematic. However, a ceramic top mount sink will set me back £200. I could replace the worktop for £350, so I'm not inclined to rush out and buy another sink. But, I thought maybe I could do something...

Part of my very slightly L-shaped worktop needs to be 670mm deep, but 620m worktops are so much cheaper. I wondered if a bit of PVA and some clamps would be enough to make a good invisible join for the last 600mm of the worktop length. Thanks

My kitchen is U-shaped, with a cooker in the centre of the back wall. I'm about to get some worktops to finish it at long last. I've spoken to many resellers but none of them seem to understand my concerns about wood expanding across the grain more than along the grain. I'm concerned that...
