    Roads that give cyclists priority.

    And here we have it, the cycle-hating keyboard warriors that love trolling all other social media. Sat in their metal boxes, barging their way through life, bemoaning everything and everyone that gets in their way or impedes their forward progress. Perhaps, if all of you took 5 mins to...

    Roads that give cyclists priority.

    Cos all it does is create argument and antagony towards cyclists. As seen in every other reel that comes through on FB. It gets 'ruddy boring. Why is there a need to also have it on a DIY forum??

    Upvc glazing bead type

    That's what I mean, the plastic part. I have a window in a property that has the upper beading missing entirely. It got thrown away by mistake and is no longer possible to purchase. There is no water ingress as it's up and under the overhang of the wide frame and any that does get in will simply...

    Where can I find this wallpaper?

    Thank you for replying and for looking yourself. However, the ones that you mention are not an exact match. Believe me, we've been through everything, everywhere and cannot find it. I suspect it's a discontinued line. We're trying to patch in some ripped areas. I suspect the solution will be to...

    Where can I find this wallpaper?

    Struggling to find this wallpaper. I've no idea of it's name or even, how long ago it was installed/ It's a light grey colour. There is one from I Love Wallpaper but it is a slightly darker shade and the panel dimensions are slightly different. Any help? Thanks

    Upvc glazing bead type

    How 'broken' is the beading? You do not in fact need 100% flawless beading around the full perimeter of the window. If it only one piece, or even part of one piece then position that one at the top or towards the top if it's a side piece. It won't be noticeable.

    Advice needed re paver grids and gravel edging construction etc

    Hi. Thank you for taking the time to reply. From a construction perspective, is it a requirement to have the gravel edging or is it just for aesthetics? In other words, could the turf simply butt up to the wall face? With regards putting it in grids, it is really to stop the whole lot from...

    Landlords Gas Test

    This is what I was referring to. https://www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-38mm-Worktop-End-Cap-Trim---Silver/p/161172 I'd be surprised if the cooker was 'that' tightly fitted.

    Landlords Gas Test

    I assume it's a 'note' rather than a fail? That said, put some on. They're what, £5 a piece?

    Advice needed re paver grids and gravel edging construction etc

    Our property is adjacent to a railway line and subject to vibrations. The existing patio slabs have shifted and joints opened up over the years. Research has suggested putting down paver grids. Has anyone experience of installing these? Are they the same as gravel grids ie sitting on top of a...

    Am I mad to be buying a 1930's semi with a flat roof extension - specifically when it comes to heating costs?

    Lol! I suspect they may have made a decision by now. It'd be interesting to know which route they took.

    shower tiling cleaning

    The solution, don't wait for it to start to turn black. Clean tiles, grout, sealant, tray etc weekly as part of a normal routine. Yes. you will need to scrub all of the above rather than just a wipe but, you won't need to use anything harsher than normal bathroom cleaner. If you've started...

    How long should a double-glazed unit last?

    Interesting. Something I think I'll look into. Not sure how I get to see his licence though without p1ssing him off. Is there a register?
