your best bet is to lay a brick on edge.if the bricks are commoms you can use the flat edge on the outside edge.if they are engineering bricks you could buy some coloured powder or liquid additive to your mix and fill the holes in.or you can buy a patio slab near the size and cut one edge...

personally would not one with a barge pole.they are never the same after a major prang.had a escort that i had that someone hit me,bought it after insurance wrote it of and i think the chassis was bent a bit it.it didnt drive the same.also suspension was suspect.also they are harder to sell on...

you might have too much clutter that needs cleaning.you can also upgrade your memory which will help.from simon

not nessasarily.this depends on how thick the paint is that you scrape off.if it quite thick you can allways blend it in with fine filler and rub it down simon the builder

skimming is better than tape and jointing anyway.i have had to overskim lots of times.where the joins on the jointing are not neat. simon the spread/builder

thanks for the info i must be a bit cheap.i know it varies a bit depending on where you live. simon the spread/builder

personally any areas that are a bit suspect.i would paint with stabaliser to be on the safe side,just to stop any algea showing through.hope this has been helpfull. simon the builder

you can buy ready mixed filler.as you have limited d.i.y skills.but buy the tub rather than tube.this will save you mixing with water as it can become to runny or too stiff simon the builder

this depends on the height of the blockwork but you could in fill with concrete.cover with strips of slate or use some insulation in cavity.simon the builder

try using vinyl silk as this is wipeable.there is no logic in using matt and varnish.and will cost much more money,and take twice as long. simon the builder

the price for skimming your ceiling.should be between £100-£150.on average.but depends on what area you live. simon the spread/builder

i used to get the same problems with the same channels.and bought a signal booster i still on the odd occasion get problems but not as much.make sure you look at the boosting strength.if not have you got a digital aerial fitted.or call up aerial fitter your aerial might be faulty or broke due to...

never had any problems before.but i can see what your saying.if bricks are blue brindle or hard engineering bricks it could run so then i would use febmix.otherwise i use rendamix which can be used for sand&cement mixes its a sort of febmix/waterproofer in one.on site work we had to hide the...

yes you must repair the brickwork first before rendering.i always use waterproofer as you need a additive anyway.there are many reasons for cracks.maybe your laying to thin.maybe it could be the sun dried it to fast.perhaps if you put pva/water on the background area first this helps or at the...

if this is a stud wall which will sound hollow when you knock it.you could take the plasterboard off and put insulation beetween timbers.replace with 12.5 mm plasterboard or there is many new types i.e sound proof board.and re skim.if this is a solid wall it may only be a single brick...
