I've bought 3062 and after doing a test piece, (a spare spindle), a great success by using a microfibre cloth for applying and removing excess, they are really good for getting into the corners of the spindle/handrail and to be honest I hardly used any, it would seem that a 750ml tin will last...

Thanks for the quick reply SKF and for the useful tip about thin layers

Good evening all, I am having replacement stair newel posts, handrail and spindles in oak fitted and have been getting conflicting suggestions on what Osmo oil to use, we want a matt finish and keep the wood light but there seems to be so different types, so far I think we've narrowed it down to...

Good afternoon everyone, Is there any extra security measures I can add, such as sliding bars to our composite front door, it doesn't fit flush like our old wooden door and the "sliding bar", that's the only way I can think to describe it, won't fit and too be honest I wouldn't be sure of...

Thank you noseall:) regards Chris

Good afternoon all, Our drive was block paved approx 10 yrs ago and the company who did it really did do a great job, but ants having been slowly pushing the sand out in one corner and the blocks, approx 8 off have started to sink, they've dropped approx 20mm. I have a spare bag of sand and...

Thanks Notch7 for the info, but if the cost is going to be similar to the quotes we've had, I think we will have to look at alternatives to sliding doors, so the search is still on. regards Chris

Good afternoon all, Is there any way of linking an extractor(xpelair) with a circuit of 3 recessed lights, the lamps are LED's running off a pull switch. Thanks in anticipation. Chris

I may be too late but don't get skips, if possible buy 6 sheets of 18mm OSB, put them out the front and chuck the excavation soil on them, then get a grab lorry to pick up, they can be the equivalent of 4-5 skips @ £120 a skip and I got a grab lorry for £210. regards Chris

Thanks big-all, you seem to be saying the same thing as my SWMBO. Maybe I should re-consider a couple more radiators but I assume they would have to be pretty big!! regards Chris

Thanks Rabmac1 for the advice, I really don't know anything, I assumed that the floor would be laid on those green soft panels and that's why I was unsure of under floor heating. I will check out the Quick-step brand. thanks again. Chris

Hi All, We are about to have an extension built, single storey, 3m x 8m on the back of the house, it will have a block + beam floor with insulation and screed but we can't decide whether to go with more rads or electric under floor heating. The boiler is a 3yr old Worcester Bosch. The floor...
