Can I just double check with this, does that apply to new wood that's been put around the top of the borders too (in the second photo)? That just looks like plain wood. Maybe I should get that painted now and just leave the new decking?

Yeah, we looked into replacing the whole thing with composite but the quotes we got were £3-4k which we can't justify at the mo so decided to just have it repaired, rotted stuff removed and braced etc. They've done a great job, it's all solid now and will last us for two or three years and maybe...

Ah, that's annoying. By that time the bad weather will be back and it'll be hard to find time to paint it. Maybe I should just leave painting it until spring next year... In either case, would using the same stuff I did a couple of years ago work?

I've just had some decking and bordering repaired that had rotted and am looking for the best way to try and match the new stuff to the old stuff. I know it's not going look perfect but I'm useless with this kind of thing and not sure whether decking oil/stain/paint would be best... Just after...

I assume it does unscrew yeah but I can only really get to the screw at the bottom from the inside that's the one that's rotted. I've just made another video showing the trim and it does look like there's a screw at the top which doesn't look like it's sealed properly... I wonder if that's...

The problem I have is that I'm having to do it all from the inside, which severly limits what I'm able to do. Also, with it constantly raining the weather isn't on my side to give me time for the wood to dry out or anything. I know that ultimately it needs fixing properly or replacing, I'm just...

During the heavy rain last week one of the Velux windows in my daughter's attic bedroom started to leak. I've had a quick look at it and there's clear signs of water getting under a metal bar on the right hand side and has rotted away a screw hole over time allowing the bar to loosen and then...

We moved into a four storey town house (South Yorkshire) six months ago and of course the gods of fate decided that the boiler should die so we've had a recommended plumber round to quote us for a new boiler. He recommended that we replace the Sime storage combi we've got with a system boiler...
