Its not rising damp that im worried about, its actual water ingress from around the step.

Yes. There are no leaks at the joins though they have already been sealed and holding. The only leak appears to be under the step.

Evening all. Some genius decided to build my garage below ground level so the floor gets soaked. A couple of years ago I used silkaflex and a bead of concrete over the top to seal the perimeter of the garage, and generally it has held up well, apart from at the step into the garage. Please...

Hi all. Please take a look at the picture attached. I want to use the gap between the shed and the garage as storage. What would be the best way to put a roof between the two? The main issue i have is the shed roof runs rainwater right into the gap. Ive considered running a guttering strip...

I think ive nailed it. After re watching the video and doing exactly as it does, i was cutting from the front of the trim instead of the back. I didnt think it mattered but it looks like it does. Im not too keen on flat trims. They are ok for edges but dont like them for transitions between...

What do you mean cut from the back first?

So i tried cutting 2 at 45 degrees and butting the back one up against, this is what it came out with... Obviously ignore the gap at the front if just thrown it together quickly, i mean how the corner match the profile of the quad behind it. Is this what you guys meant?

Ive just thought, if i cut the two at 45 degrees, am i not going to get a straight sharp lip where they join, that wont match the curved profile of the one butting up to them?

oh yeah, i see, thanks guys, dropping the kids to school ill try it when i get back

Hi guys, Im trying to do a 3 way mitre with quad trim (already tiled using this so i cant change it) at some external corners in the kitchen, however i just cant get all the joints to match. Its not that they are a few mm out, the one side is always way out. Ive watched videos on youtube, ive...

What about these hybrid sealants like souldall fix all sealant and adhesive, evostik the dogs or the no nonsense X8? Are they any good?

Ive just been out to the garage and checked the white one. I was mistaken, same warp, i just didnt notice it

i actually didnt know there was such a thing as silicone adhesive. My brother has just been round and said exactly the same thing. He uses evostik sticks like ****. What would you recommend?

Hi guys, I have a Franke Basis BFG 6551 Fragranite sink that is warped slightly. The gap created by the warp is 3mm at its biggest. Please see the attached picture. I previously bought the same sink in white last month (didnt like the colour) and that never had a warp. I can push the warp...

Its oak effect laminate. The kitchen designer used a 45 degree edge but i didnt like it. A curved edge might work. Whats the best way to achieve that?
