Im tempted to buy some self adhesive vinyl brick roll and add it to some surfaces in the garden for a brick effect. The roll itself is either vinyl or pvc I think. I tried some a sample outdoor last summer and after maybe a month, it had lost all colour and gone greyscale. If I painted it...

We're likely about to buy a flat concrete roof end terrace house, that has solar panels on the top. I know nothing about solar panels. The roof needs a complete refelt I expect. What do roofers typically do about the panels? Go around them or take them to the ground? Or move them to one side...

We're looking at buying a flat roof all concrete panel house. Technically this is a Jespersen system 3M construction from maybe the 60s. You can normally see the ceiling/roof panels in the rooms, unless they've been covered over. In this particular end terrace house, there seems a bizarre (?)...

Thanks all

We're looking at purchasing a house that has a flat concrete slab roof. (actually all the houses are all concrete slab in the area). The asphalt roof needs replacing. But is it normal for rotting artex to be this brown colour?

External. Did consider Puck lights but they'd need to be wired up.

A handyman tried this and unfortunately it just smeared the paint, though he may not have done it correctly. How about methoxypropanol PM? Or tamiya polycarbonate paint removal. Seems to work well on RC cars according to youtube demos

I want to illuminate the two walls (like columns) on either side on each window around the house. I don't want to stick a strip all down each verticle wall of each window frame, but rather, have 2xmini strips, one at each end of window cill, facing up, to illuminate the inset verticle walls...

I have a 10 year old flat asphalt roof. So far there aren't any leaks but I imagine it's nearing end of its life. There are large swollen bumps in it, but no obvious cracks yet. I'm wondering if I would prolong it's life by painting either the seams and bumps or the whole roof with something...

Thank you

6 months ago some white masonry paint was spilt on clear polycarbonate roof sheets (conservatory) any suggestions on a paint Remover that won't damage the sheets? (the sheets are rather old) thanks

Probably not easily. That's where I'm at. When I get around to it.

True, which is why as I understand it, the only way to properly wipe a device is to write a load of random data, 1s or 0s to it to overwrite all previous data. Otherwise blocks of data is just marked as 'available for use' and looks empty within the OS.

Long story short: I have an iPhone, not synced to cloud, smashed screen which used to type numbers into the password field itself... Which then caused phone to lock me out repeatedly until the only way into the phone (apparently) would be a factory reset and new screen. I have thousands of...

Brick slips are probably far more expensive. Not wallpaper, waterproof vinyl, like used in the garden centre point of sale in the pictures.
