Hi all I'm repainting the garage door. It's a false door that doesn't open as the garage has been convereted into a room (by the previous owners). I'm hoping to take the hinges off so i can easily paint the door. I will also sand and respray the hinges too. I'm struggling to get this large...

Hi all. I have seen this question has been asked before but the current wiring in my BDR91 is slightly different. In other posts I have seen, none have an earth to the ‘B’. I am hoping it’s a case of swapping over the wires. I assume it should be wired as below. BDR91 – 1x Blue Wire in N...

Hi. I am in the process of planting some pleached trees behind my shed… unfortunately the neighbour at the rear has chopped a large tree down in her garden and now we both overlook each other. I’m really limited for space in terms of where to plant. I’ve basically got 50cm gap to try to...

Avoid anything acidic. This is a good alkaline cleaner for my limestone. Lasts for ages. https://hardfloorrestoration.co.uk/product/hr-future-clean/

That looks like the kind of thing we need and is evergreen too. Thanks for your suggestion - much appreciated

Does anyone recommend a product for removing mortar stains from limestone paving? I appreciate anything acidic is a no no. I wiped away the larger bits of mortar but it has left a haze/residue which isn’t shifting easily. I’ve tried jetwashing but it’s not made much difference. Thanks

Evening all. I’m in the process of working on the end of our garden. I’ve put a shed base down, new shed and new fences. Unfortunately our elderly neighbour at the rear has cut down her large willow tree which we both relied on for privacy. I appreciate it is her tree but it would have been...

Thanks. You were right. But if cilit bang helped too

Sorry. Newbie question… Can anyone advise me. Do these ideally screw on or should I just be able to pop them off? Thanks

The previous owner also had a loft conversation done in 2017. There is the odd cracks in plaster etc but nothing that is getting worse. So I am not too concerned. Only spotted this tile today but I guess some settlement from that could be a cause.

Thanks. Yes I agree I think they are 8 wide (500mm) and 9 high (200mm). ive looked at the Recer infinity basic great and they seem to be sized at 250mm wide and 400mm high so not sure they are the same as what I’m after?

Hi there I'm trying to identify my bathroom wall tile - I have a couple that have hairline cracks in them and was hoping to find some replacements. The bathroom was installed before we moved in so I've no idea where they might have been sourced from. I think they would have been purchased in...

Thanks Andy. Yes I can feel a slight scratch with my nail in some spots.. but not all. Have tried a bit of wd40 too but again not much joy.

I have tried toothpaste without much joy. Will give brasso a go though. Thanks

Hi all I have had quite a bit of difficulty removing a basin from my bathroom wall due to the amount of silicone which had been lagged behind it (by previous owner of house) I was a careful as I could be but it took me hours to get it off the wall as I didn’t want to pull any tiles off whe...
