Gone for 9 screws in the joiner plate to attach it to the door first. Can't attach the side panels as need to get some 80mm baypole screws from Screwfix in the morning. https://www.screwfix.com/p/1041p

Hi. What's best practice for attaching full height side panels to the door frame? I've been supplied with two steel joining strips. The plan was to pre drill the strips and screw to the door frame from the steel strip side, meaning the inside of the door frame is untouched. I assume the screws...

It does exist! But unfortunately online only so hoefully the match isn't to far off as I already have the laminate. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255523811009

Am I being a div? Planning to install laminate on the landing and carpet on the stairs. I having real trouble finding a simple solution to join the two. I currently have a standard softwood bullnose. The plan is to cut this straight but all the laminate stair nosing’s seems to be weird and won’t...

Heh. They were right bloody cowboys! Actually it was me that did the roof I'll get a length and see if I can work it out how to install. Thanks.

How and where would the felt support trays attach? The photos I can find they seem to be for tiled roofs so not sure how to use with a GRP roof. Thanks.

The existing trim is as the red one below..it just wasn't extended far enough off the roof.

Hi. I need to extend the drip edge of my GRP roof as it's just missing the gutter sometimes. I think it's that close to being OK the direction of the wind makes a difference. My plan was to "glue" a UPVC drip edge on and paint it grey to match the rest of the roof. Stupid idea?

Anyone know what kitchens the house builder William Davis used about 5 years ago? Have a blown unit under the sink that needs replacing. Can't see anything on any the cabinets/plinths /shelves themselves just the hinges and draws. I'm assuming a B&Q one should be OK? Cheers.

Motor is fine as spins happily to 1600 when empty. Set level and hasn't moved from where it used to work quite happily.

Hi. I have a Candy ro16104dwmce that happily spins at full speed when empty but just turns slowly with anything in it. I'm assuming some sort of wonky load sensor fault. Any idea where to look or if it's user serviceable? Cheers

Not sure what you mean. Cill is set back into the brickwork as it's part of the sliding door. Slot drain is installed as close as possible to the cill. I'm getting decking installed and want a flat transition, so i have a gap I need to fill, so asking for ideas as someone may have done similar.

Slot drain is level with the cill in the middle of the door, slighty lower at the ends to give the drain soime fall. Weep hole lower then the drain.

Thanks. Probably should have said, slot drain is well cemented in! :) It is a weep hole if any water gets in the frame hence why I'd like to place something removable in case access is ever needed.

Had a thread here https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/steel-bean-cavity-wall-sizes.478881/ Ended up using narrower, taller steels Beam Details Beam Span Length = 5.76m Steel Beam Selected = 305 x 127 x 48 UB S275 Which is a little over the 100mm brick width, but only (127-100/2) 13.5mm either...
