Hi All Just after a bit of advice regarding sizing before ordering a roller garage door. For info, it will be back/behind mounted - not reveal mounted. Height wise, no problems, however I've measured up and found that the opening is not perfect (are they ever?). Its +/- about 10mm on the...

Exactly this

2nd Vote for Zinsser B.I.N.

I have very recently DIY'd a floor exactly as you have described: Concrete - DPM - 25mm PIR - OSB (Glued joints) - Underlay - Laminate. 10mm Expansion gap round the edges to allow the floor to expand/contract - this is covered by either skirting or threshold. OSB flooring doesn't move...

Dulux Super Matt is equal to, if not superior, to MacPhearsons Eclipse (my opinion - not a fact!). The key point is that both have excellent opacity so will give a really good covering of white before going to your final colour. Zinsser Bullseye is also good stuff, but probably not necessary...

I am sure there will be loads on different suggestions on how to do this, almost all of them will work! However this is what I have done multiple times in the past with good results, mainly over dark purples and blues. Over Dark Matt Emulsion: 1 coat of MacPhersons Eclipse Brilliant White, 2...

Hi Thanks for the reply. That's exactly what I thought, but I can't find a join in it anywhere. Was hoping it may be a readily available but not common profile. It's a car of either find a match, or replace an entire hallway!

Hi all Please can someone let me know what this skirting profile is called? I've googled it didnt spot it in the hundreds of options! Cheers

Hi Ray Thanks for the reply. I tried what you suggested and it worked first time without any problems! New tool box essential!

Hi All I have installed (quite a few times now!) a Redring MS6 water heater under a sink, however now matter how hard I try, I can not get the damn thing to stop weeping water. The leaks occur on the plastic threaded joint between the unit itself and the dielectric connector, however I have...

Hi All Was hoping for some opinions on how to finish laminate floor against a sliding door. The floor will be flush with the door threshold, so there is no depth available to fit a scotia. The planks will run lengthways along the door, not end on. I have done some research and I think there...

That works for me! Thank you for the input. Not ordered yet so will go for loft insulation option. Cheers!!!

Hi All Thanks for the replies Its a small project started during lockdown, and continuing every time we have to isolate (this is number 3 now - toddler at nursery ends up with a cough every 2 minutes!) so really just about getting the best result I can for the minimum cost. No real desire to...

Hi All I am in the process of converting an out building into a summer room. The construction is single skin block on flat, some of which is below ground level. I have built an internal timber stud wall (38 x 63), which is lined externally with a roof membrane to prevent any damp that gets...

Hi All How can i stop water getting to the wall on the right of this picture? I was hoping that applying a tanking slurry to the inside of the wall would be sufficient. Its stopped 90% of the water, but during a storm today (perfect test), some water still got through. My feeling is that the...
