Hi tried to use one of the Thomas Dudley basin seal kits. Fits great however a little thick and not enough thread left to screw the trap on. Has anyone had any experience trimming down one of these basin seals, concern will be not cutting completely straight? Thanks

Hi not sure if this is the right place. Want to make a splashback for a sink 500mm wide with about 250mm height. (See photo) I have one in another room which looks like laminate with some chrome trim that looks good.( See photo) Would like a splashback in resin/ stone but hard to come by...

Hi Both seem like great ideas I like the idea of some mastic with some sand blown over. Gotta wait for a dry day could be a while!!

I had my drive relayed 3 months ago with more stone and sand to level it out. The drive has a slight gradient going towards the house so had some aico drains put in at the front of the house in front of the DPC, there is some mortar between the DPC and the drains. I have noticed that in the...

Hi just looking to replace two runs of 4m black half round guttering. Didn't realise compatiblity can be an issue with guttering. All my marshall tufflex clips are set good so reluctant to have to change and realign them. I brought two floplast hi cap runs but they are too big. Marshall seem...

Thanks Chivers, Trying to think what bit of 150mm x150mm timber to put in. It would only be a short stretch between the joists. Any recommendations for what timber to use? Also is it worth bolting the hanger through the joist , by drilling a small hole or would some simple wood screws be...
