    Do I need planning permission to render semi detached house?

    Hello all, I know this is probably a very common topic for discussion but it seems most of the threads I have seen are all different in their own way. I own a 3 bedroom semi detached house, it's mostly red brick apart from the top left front of the house which has an old (and aged) white...

    New Fences, Astroturf, Patio

    Hello all, Moved into my house back in 2013 and have largely ignored the back garden whilst concentrating on the inside. Besides regular grass cuts and hedge trimming I have not done a great deal to it. Having seen a nearby neighbour who has laid astroturf in their garden I am now thinking...

    Shower Screen Screw

    Thank you both for your help. That item in Toolstation looks like the cap only? Not sure if you can see from the 2nd picture but the split is in the body of the attachment, rather than in the dome cap. I am not sure what that part is called and I am hoping it can be bought separately. It looks...

    Toilet Leak

    Thanks Denso, exactly what my brother said, either it was damaged in the first place or it was tightened way too much which caused it to fracture

    3 Bed semi detached, price and material for an external render?

    Hi all, Just wanted to throw this out there. I am replacing my kitchen windows next spring/summer, and after that I am considering rendering the whole outside to give it a smarter look overall. Firstly, a standard 3 bed semi detached house, does anyone have any rough idea on the cost I should...

    Toilet Leak

    Hi all, I had a near disaster with a leaking toilet whilst away for a weekend during December (these things never happen when you are at home) I have an en suite toilet that (I am told) was designed with a left and right hand fill. So on one side there is a plastic cap acting like a bath plug...

    Shower Screen Screw

    Hi all, Noticed that a couple of the screw covers on my shower screen have split where it attaches it to the tiled wall, it's been in about 1 year now and so still fairly new. I have a plumber popping over in the new year to service the boiler, from the pictures is anyone able to tell me if...

    Patio Doors hitting brickwork

    Hi all. Have some new patio doors, finding that if they swing in the wind then the hinges are scrathing against the brickwork. Any ideas on how to avoid? I thought of maybe running a small line of silicone along the brickwork where the hinges meet it, to act as a bit of a cushion. Or I could...

    Curtain Pole Bracket covers

    Thank you guys, I will ask my GF about the swish look! Ban all sheds - thanks for being patient but I am a slight novice on these things. The covers in the picture are exactly what I am looking for, would you mind just detailing out each item I need to buy and then what I need to do with it...

    Curtain Pole Bracket covers

    OK thanks guys. No covers came with them, in terms of the PVC trunking that's not something I've come across but I assume it's easy to pick up from Wickes or B&Q, would it easily attach to the wall?

    Curtain Pole Bracket covers

    Agreed, problem is I have bought the poles and drilled them in, so was wondering if I can avoid cost and work of replacing with something else. I tried screw caps but they just fall off, wondered if there is anything to cover the bracket, if not will live with it for now

    Curtain Pole Bracket covers

    Hi all, I've put some curtain poles up today but the brackets that are screwed to the wall and showing and wondered if there is anything I can get to cover them, bar replacing with a more expensive pole that would hide them. The screws don't look too attractive and the brackets are not pin point...
