Just use silicon, enough to fill all the gaps and holes but not too much so its visible.

I'd remove the old trim and use something like this https://www.wickes.co.uk/Homelux-White-Bath-Seal---1-75m/p/229568

Thats exactly what I thought but some wood suppliers suggest it is also stronger as below https://www.daviestimber.co.uk/blogs/news/pressure-treated-timber "Strength. Pressure treated timber has stronger properties than untreated timber, so can stand much more force. When installed it will...

Now you got me looking at tables it does seem to be open to interpretation :unsure: Is there much difference between c16 and c24? tanatlised VS untreated?

Ok thanks looks like it will have to be 125mm @ 400mm spacing. Seems like overkill especially when my old shed is only using 50mm thick joists!

Hi, 2.6M span with 125mm X 47mm C24 @ 600mm centres. Topped with 18mm OSB and epdm rubber. Its a sectional concrete garage (2.6M X 4.8M) looking to replace current roof with a new flat one. Does this sound ok? many thanks

Thanks you were right I think the main thing it was just wedged so tight!

Hi, The cupboard door of our integrated washing machine sticks out by about 3mm, its driving me mad I can't take it any more :mad: In an effort to fix it I need to move it back but it just wan't budge! There are no screws going into it from the cupboard next to it and I've downloaded the...

So I actually had to look up verandah "a large, open porch, usually roofed and partly enclosed, as by a railing, often extending across the front and sides of a house" Still non the wiser :unsure:

Hi, I have a concrete garage at the end of my garden, its 2.5M X 5M right on the boundary. I'd like to turn into a workshop. I'm planning on replacing the roof but want to make it larger so it overhangs making the roof 3M X 6M. So the internal building will remain the same at 12m2 but the roof...

Thanks you'd convinced me to do it myself, £200 materials, £30 mixer hire...but then.. I had one final quote come back £255 all in for concrete delivered and barrowed to where I need it. Can't argue with that :)

Are you sure? can one person and a mixer get that done in a day? 2.3 tonne of ballast and 11 bags of cement by my reckoning

Hi, I'm looking to order 1.3 m3 of concrete for a shed base. A quick google search tells me the average price is £75 per m3 plus delivery (from checkatrade link below). So I'm thinking about £200. I've had 2 quotes and both have been over £450. Am I being over quoted? I'm based in Birmingham...
