It's 135mm x 70

Hello! I have a rectangle newel post on my landing and I wish to replace the post and landing hand rail with spindles. If I replace the rectangular post even with a square one, I don't think there will be enough room for the offset handrail to return at 90 degree into the newel post? Please...

I'm only going to remove all the moss. It never gets any sun and I'm constantly having to clean out the guttering.

You only love once lol I think I'll have to rethink my approach to this one!!!

Here Was going to attach some eye bolts to the wall below the windows to then use to strap the bottom of the ladder too. The ladder will be at an angle obviously and not vertical up the wall. The pitch on the extension roof is about 20 degrees.

Hello! I have an extension out the back on an pitched roof thats not overly steep and easy to get onto. Approximately 7 foot above that is he main house roof which is covered in moss which I intend to scrape off. My question is, will it be ok to use some wall mounted anchor eye bolts attached...

Hello! I'm soon to be moving my bathroom around, the toilet is currently on an exterior wall right behind where the stack is. I'm soon going to be moving the toilet to an inside wall, run the waste under the floor and it will exit as circled in the picture. I understand I'll need to remove the...

OK so to isolate this fully and change the socket I need to isolate at the consumer unit? Thanks

Hi I need to changed the socket in my garage as its cracked. It's fed from a house socket which is fused externally. From the fused box it goes to an armoured cable to the garage. The fuse is removed, does this mean that there should be no power now to the garage?

Thanks for all the replies. Have an electrician coming this week or next. The electrician who installed my hot tub wiring last week mentioned about wiring being aluminium downstairs, maybe I misheard but he did say it needs redoing whatever it is. He will be changing the consumer unit as well...

Hi My bungalow has a loft conversion using newer copper wiring done probably 25 years ago. Downstairs is aluminium? How hard is it to rewire a bungalow with a loft conversion as regards access. I assume all upstairs boards will need to be removed? There are 2 bedrooms upstairs, 2 downstairs...

Hi. Please see attached pictures. Unfortunately no room for a coping stone. I'm think I'll have to go with the dpm and mortar again unless you folk have some good ideas? I'm really stuck for room due to the facial and roof design which isn't ideal.

Hi My garage is letting in water from the brick pillars. I have one pillar at each corner and 1 either side at the half way mark. Between each pillar are just rendered breeze blocks. The roof only overhangs approximately a 1/4 of pillar, exposing the tops to the elements. The top of the pillars...
