Hi Working on a camper van conversion. I’m using wickes 8x94mm tongue and groove interior cladding to do the ceiling. I want to bring one panel down at the sides but at a 45 degree angle. Looking from back doors into the van it would like this ... (although this is upside down) :)...

Hi I’d like to build a little brick shed on the back of our detached garage. Garage was built in 1986. Same brick as garage and same flat roof. Using a wall starter kit. Can I lay a slab with thicker edges? If so what depth? current garage - you can see slab and 2 bricks up to dpc. Thanks.

progress with garage conversion

Some pictures may help.. top corner where water seems to pool and perhaps coming ion from next doors garden? view from the up and over garage door looking to the back left of the garage ceiling timber, now has a metal roof over the top of the timber/felt roof view from...

Ok. It's been a while but I'm ready to start the project. Since I last posted I've had arco drains installed in front of the garage - no more rain in that way. I've had a side door installed and a new metal roof over the existing timber/felt - 30 yr guarantee included :) Decided to go for...

changed our mind, we were going to pave it, but decided on decking and thats a little higher than paving. Also wanted to get rid of much of the clay as possible and improve soil quality to assist in drainage. In retrospect, I should have created drainage holes rather than digging all the clay out.

I've dug out quite a lot of clay to make way for decking. Its approx 5 meters wide, by 3 meters. Its rained a lot over the last few weeks and now its full of water, about 25-30cm in places. I need to bring the level back up a little, probably about 15cm ready for the decking frame. Can...

I'm after some dished channel drainage to put aroudn the edge of my patio, does anyone know where I can order these on the web, or get them in Teesside area? Tried searching, but no luck online? Like the following: http://www.pavingexpert.com/images/drainage/dishedChannel_clay.jpg cheers

oh and will I need to add some air bricks?

Thanks. You suggested I install a membrane and use concrete? Is this easy enough to install? I've seen people on the forum build a stud frame inside the garage and line the brick walls with a barrier ( polythene ) then insulation then plasterboard. The floor sits on top of the frame which has...

Hi I'm after a bit of advice before I begin some work in my garage, wonder if anyone can help? I have a small budget of about £500 and I want to do the work myself, if I can. I have a detached brick garage (built 1986 ish) it has a flat felt roof and is single skin of bricks I think. I can...

I started the job this afternoon having got all the pieces I needed. Although having cut the pipe, I found it was 8mm and I only had 10mm valves. :( So have had to pop the old one back on for now, minus the radiator. I did notice that the pipe has been bent quite a bit already and it was...

You've all been very helpful. Many thanks indeed!! I'll head over to my hardware shop now and pick up a bullnose rad valve (10mm) and a rubber plug set and some boss white (I have the ptfe already)

Thanks - I had thought about just replacing the whole valve as you mentioned, with a brand new one that fitted the radiator. Something like this: http://www.wickes.co.uk/Obsolete-Radiator-Valves/Radiator-Lockshield-Valve/invt/421551 But I'll need to get one that is 10mm for the water pipe...
