Hello, I am planning to make a home gym in my garage. The floor is concrete, not smooth (picture attached). I was wondering if I can just stick carpet tiles over the top or maybe a carpet underlay, then carpet tiles on top. Hoping to avoid screed/latex. Cheers

I've used glyphosate to kill a lawn in a new build house we moved into in November last year (was weedy, house built on back garden of other houses). Today I've noticed shooting up from the ground on the dead bits, some red stemmed weeds. Is this Knotweed?

Hello, I have boarded the loft space in my garage. There are a few protruding nails at eye level. I was wondering if I can screw these (braces?) to the joists instead, then remove the nails. Pics attached.

Hello, I was wondering if it was possible to tell the type of underfloor heating from thermal imaging. It's a new build house and I am yet to move in, I was told it was hot water but I have not seen any valves from the boiler to the system when I was having a look around. The images are from a...

Hello, I am looking at purchasing a barn conversion and had a look in the loft, I saw something that raised a few eyebrows (both mine) but wanted to get a bit more info before I wasted money on a survey. Forgive my probably incorrect terminology, but I've been learning from Google! The roof...

Hello, I have a hole (where the peephole was) in my door that I want to enlarge to 26mm. The outside is made out of some sort of plastic and the inside is foam of some sort. I don't want to shatter the plastic on the other side of the door. I tried using a flat wood bit, but because the hole...

I've had my patio extended with the same slabs (Buff Riven 45x45cm), no pointing, just laid next to each other. It was a new build and the house builder wanted £35 a slab to do it during the build! House was completed in September last year. The original slabs have already faded. Is there a...

I would like a few power sockets in my loft. Needing to power a CCTV DVR, network switch, and two sonos amps for speakers. I don't have access to any mains in the loft, only a loft light. It is a new build house. I have a wardrobe in my office, I could drill through the top and into the...

Hello, I have a set of uPVC patio doors, they open just over 90 degrees. It would be great to have them open full 180. There is something at the top restricting them, can I get one that allows them to go 180? Thanks!

Hello! My first post here, I'm new to the world of DIY. Just moved in to a new build with a tiny slab patio (they were going to charge £30 per 45cmx45cm slab extra!) I want to extend my patio. I've read that I need to dig down about 15cm to lay a base before laying the slabs. May seem like...
