Hi all, any advice would be very much appreciated. I have moved in to a new house that has a stand alone concrete built garage. I am trying to convert this into a gym, however after a night of rain I notice that there are a few wet patches inside, it seems that when the soil gets wet, water...

Hi, Over the weekend I put up some medium weight wall paper in the bathroom. I used solvite wallpaper adhesive (powder mixed with water). Two days later and some of the edges are peeling back. I am wondering if there is a stronger/more sticky adhesive I can use specifically for the edges...

One firm did the vandex (which went on the wall under the plaster) and the same firm did injection. A different firm did the plastering, and used a waterproof mix when i mentioned the issues with damp. I think the problem is the age of the property, built in around 1850, all the houses in the...

We had DPC injection and also vandex treatment on the walls. The plaster we used had some waterproof mixture added (can't remember exactly what it was that was mixed in). This was all over 12 months ago. The anderton paper is foil backed, it has 3 layers of stuff, one which included the foil...

Has any one used this before on their walls? We have a bit of damp coming through on our kitchen wall and despite the wall having been treated, the damp is staining the wall paper. Apparently this 3 in 1 lining paper can help, but my concern is that the damp will need to go somewhere, and...

Job finally done, in the end i bought some grass cutters and manually cut the grass about 2/3rds shorter, it took forever and exremely painful on the arms, finished the job with mower, took forever. Won't be letting it get to that state again!

I've left cutting the grass in the front and back for too long, predominantly due to us having no summer and it's always raining, and because i havent got round to buying a lawn mower. The grass is probably about 10 inches long now, whats the best way to cut it down? thenks :roll:

I want to put a plasma screen TV in the bedroom, does anyone know what is involved in order to get an extra tv ariel to go in to a bedroom.

We have an old out house in our back garden, we are looking at having it removed for the summer and extending the back garden. We've been told there is asbestos in the roof, is it worth getting a specialist to knock down the out house or can we do it ourselves and just wear masks?

good point i'll check over the weekend

The catch has gone on the door of my tumble dryer, rather than buy a new one, is there any way to get hold of a new door or a new catch?

Hi all, I have a problem sealing my bath tub. Basically the problem is that the gap between the tiles and the tub is too big, normal sealant isn't working as the gap is too wide. I bought some white sealant tape from b and q but it wouldn't stick to either surface and ended up coming away...
