    Fitting a blanking plate

    That’s exactly it rocky. Will explore that option 3mm is much more acceptable

    Fitting a blanking plate

    Good point mate. Also thanks for the blanking plate advice I'd have made a big error just plaster boarding it up!

    Fitting a blanking plate

    No no skirting and it's a book case - space only allows for it to be pushed back on to the socket so it sticks out on the side you see which looks awful. Option two is plasterboard it up but it still leaves my question re; the spur itself

    Fitting a blanking plate

    Hi all Before I ring I want to get your advice on fitting a blanking plate. We intend to take away a double socket we don't use in a hall and fit a flat plate so we can push furniture up to the wall. The only issue is the double socket has a spur running from it to a cupboard and a router which...

In the worst spots should I just scrap away the blistered paint and loose caulk and refil and for the areas where there are just cracks...

    Patio quotes and sub-bases

    Hi all Over the course of the last few weeks I've had a couple of quotes for a patio (very small area). Interestingly both came back with quotes that when I asked them did not include laying any MOT1 and just bedding them on compacted sand with a wet mix above. In the forum posts I've read...

    shower base

    Thanks for your replies. I suspected it was a dodgy botch job. I suspect when I confront them they'll try and fob me off with some 'builders experience'. Do you think it's worth me getting a formal second opinion from someone?

    shower base

    Hi Thanks for getting back to me. I think I understand what your saying. Basically it needs a solid base to sit on. This is what they left me with. To me it doesn't seem right and more of a bodge than anything else but not being a builder I have no frame of reference. Keen to hear thoughts on...

    shower base

    Hi I wonder if I could get some advice. I've just removed the shower fascia from the base of my shower and found that the builders have used 2" x 1" to sit the extending feet of the shower base on to because the extending feet which screw up and down to increase or decrease the height of the...
