Carpet laying contractors applied normal ECo-stick to industrial quality vinyl which leached through to top surface (yellow stain) wherever the glue was applied. This occurred inside one year. No contractual recourse as contractors were appointed as third-party and personal involvement would...

I am thinking of applying Thomson's waterproofing (either standard or superior) to facing red concrete overlapping tiles that you normally find on surrounding dormer / chalet construction bedrooms. There is one corner mid-way up property where facing tiles appear to allow damp to get...

Correction. It is called humour:) But never mind.

Fridges? They are between 3 months and 9 months of age. They don't need filling or plastering:) However, if the filler is too old, why isn't packaging dated accordingly, I ask myself?.

I have used two different powder filler materials without success for repairing holes in a wall of the alabastine and polyfiller variety but each time, both these fillers turned to a powery white chalk that rubbed away easily and therefore cannot be sealed or painted. Both products are...

JJ4091 That site is looking good, especially as hinges can be bought in pairs. Just have to check that the right ones come in 26 mm boss. Thanks for your regular advice and updates. Last post on this:)

Thanks JJ4091 You will see a fixed dog leg on one photo. This sets hinge at say 45 degrees at start position. The photo you gave looks more like a straight hinge but one that can move 180 degree. Your hinge may be a final option. It would be mine too, but partner not so keen. They like things...

Big help on price and materials. Now know where I stand on options. All the best and last post.

Thanks Skimmers. Probably not artex then, just the stuff you expect to find on a ceiling:) But you say re-boarding is necessary which comes as a surprise. I thought you could just cover up those cracks with something and do whole ceiling the same to make it look even. All ceilings have joints...

I've included two photos and hope you can see them. If not let me know. //www.diynot.com/network/howsthat/albums/

I'm located near Gloucester and would like kitchen ceiling re-surfaced plus one length of 127 mm gypsum cove to 4 meter side as existing one a bit tacky to look at. Ceiling previously worked on long time ago after upstairs leak so there are some ugly joints to cover up, plus small patch of...

Hinges required

If it moves, it must be hard. You did well getting this far. Lol.

TO JJ4091 and Harbourwoodwork. Re your posts in turn: 1) The hinges needed will have a pre-set angle. Some bedroom furniture has corner cabinet/wardrobe with opening door set at 45 degrees to room and rest of cabinet, so starting position of hinge has to accommodate this angle. The hinges...

Thanks Harbourwood, I'm away at present and will be for at least week, but I can try and get her to do photos, and think she has them on phone. Let me transmit details and see if she can pick up the thread or this site or if send pics to me instead. Many thanks for quick reply. Think DIYnot...

Broken springs of concealed hinges (26mm insert boss) used for a 45 degree set corner door of self assembly wardrobe now means we need 2 off to replace them. These hinges have a pre-set dog leg to accommodate the 45 degree set door so is not the usual off the shelf cupboard or wardrobe hinge...

Come on guys, you were young once, but many in the business are self employed remember so nothing is underhand. A good trade and good money whichever way you look at it. On the subject of monkeys, one reputable company had the policy of "measue twice, cut once" and still got it wrong, so you...

Generally speaking, peanuts goes to the workers, the rest to the owners. They are qualified, employed by reputable company and I've seen their work. I thougyt the material was on the high side but if it requires more than just 2 x 5 metre lengths of say Swish etc, and best quality felt, this...
