    Kitchen how to fix wooden worktop upstand to wall

    Hi all We have bamboo worktop and bamboo upstands to match. How would you fix this to the plastered and painted wall? Would you use the same silicon sealant that will be used to seal the corner between worktop / upstand and upstand/wall? Would you use pink grip? What else and why? Thanks!

    Can you colour paint Rubber EPDM roof?

    Thanks Tet. I just never heard or seen about rubber roofs being covered with decorative stones, however seen millions of bitumen roofs being covered with gravel, hence why my surprise. Definitely good to know, will need to figure out if it is worth the hassle though, as it is a roof on the...

    Can you colour paint Rubber EPDM roof?

    I'd then rather up a couple of old white sheets, with stones placed along the border to keep them in place!

    Can you colour paint Rubber EPDM roof?

    In UK websites I don't find much information about this - or products for it: Can Rubber EPDM be colour painted? Our extension has a dark grey rubber roof and it gets so hot during summer, I was thinking of painting it white to take the edge off. In America apparently it is quite a common thing...

    meter board / fuse board broken and accessible by babies, how to have it repaired / replaced?

    Yes you are right, I can but I dont want to, as that then it would mean changing car and that surely is more expensive that having tnis thing replaced. Thanks.

    meter board / fuse board broken and accessible by babies, how to have it repaired / replaced?

    Why do we live in a world where everything is always doubted and where customer care is not existing unless money is involved ? That thing has been broken like that since the day we moved in 5 years ago. Regardless of the broken bits, to me it looks like this an unsafe installation, which would...

    meter board / fuse board broken and accessible by babies, how to have it repaired / replaced?

    Thanks both. I believe my DNO IS Western Power Distribution, which we called two years ago to move the fuse board and we would have been charged for it. My question now is that, seeing as it is a safety hazard, is there anything we can do to have it at least fixed or changed ( not necessarily...

    meter board / fuse board broken and accessible by babies, how to have it repaired / replaced?

    Hi all, a couple of years back we had someone around from Western Power Distribution (or perhaps one of their contractors) to quote for moving as close to the ceiling as possible our meter board which is currently in an awkward place at legs height in the hallway (is meter board a good term to...

    how to achieve smooth plaster finish over timber board + how to bond board to brick wall

    That is a very interesting suggestion, I just googled and there is out there some corner bead with very wide mesh, you can literally find anything online nowadays! Do you mean we will regret it as in not fitting an architrave around the opening? or particularly about the solution of using that...

    how to achieve smooth plaster finish over timber board + how to bond board to brick wall

    Understood @big-all , how do you suggest covering it, with plasterboard? Attached to the timber how, with some (wood?) glue? EDIT: sorry, tired brain. If plasterboard is a good choice for covering the timber, I can obviously use plasterboard screws to fix it!

    how to achieve smooth plaster finish over timber board + how to bond board to brick wall

    Thanks @noseall , should have made it is explicit though, requirement is to have plaster up to the corner and round covering the jamb and no architrave to be installed.
