Thanks for replying Blup. Never noticed "insert gutter here" whilst up there. Is it feasible to cut a couple of bits of guttering & glue them in or would i need to buy a complete section to fit properly?

Haven't been up as far as the guttering before & noticed a couple of things i am concerned about. Some of the mortar on the chimney has fallen out, could that let in the rain? Probably know the answer already. There is a join in 2 sections of the gutter & the joining bit is slightly lower...

Cheers Blup. What is the best membrane to use & is there any gravel that cats won't ****e in.

Used to be a pond at one time. It catches the sun too quite late in the day, so was thinking about turning it into a seating area with a couple of steps up to it Cheapest way of doing it? There are tree stumps in the corner, is it possible to somehow make it into a table? There are more tree...

Cheers for that

Good shout

I'm sure she would be ecstatic with it, but luckily we don't buy each other presents so I can relax

The wife wants to sand down a large coffee table. What type of sander is better, a random one or standard one. Don't want to spend too much, as won't be used much(I think) Many thanks.

Cheers for that

Oldish rad with a very small nut on bleed valve

Is it a DIY job or professional? How does it work?

Hi, i have this rad in bathroom. I have a sealed system. I am going to be putting another one in bedroom back on wall after decorating room. Putting the old one back in bedroom & opening valves to refill it, would enough water drain out of one bathroom to be able to add inhibitor to it. If...

Redecorating it & painted cill. I rubbed down to bare wood & put 2 X coats of Zinser cover stain, followed by 2 x coats of Dulux Trade high gloss oil based paint. No heating in room yet & been fairly cold. Everything went well until 2nd coat of gloss & it has cracked in one area. I assume i...

I thought the pics would be an issue I'll give him a call tomorrow.cheers

Had ceiling reboarded & skimmed+ all walls. It's mostly the internal corners & a couple of other places I not entirely happy with. Some of the internal corners, but not all feel rough to touch. Theres a couple of more bits too. I think the finish should be better but wanted to run it past the...

I'm not quibbling on the price as such, it was just the length of time the job would take. It's going to be pot luck which one i pick, see what the next one says tomorrow.

Cheers for the the reply Wayners. Price wise, it is what it is. As far as i am aware, both work on their own. What's your take on one saying they'll board the damaged portion & the other fill. Which is the better option in your opinion?

Had 2 quotes in so far & looking for 1-2 more. The job is board & skim 13' x 9' ceiling. Skim 2 other walls Replace damaged plaster across the whole of the top of the window. I'm going to remove as much of the blown plaster as possible myself. 1st quote is for £700, he said he's going to...

Got a artex ceiling & maybe a wall that needs doing & trying to find out what it entails doing before I get quotes. The first 3 are obviously the ceiling. Will it be just the case of removing loose tape & replacing it & skimming over or potentially more work than that? The 4th pic is where...

Little update. I continued taking off remainder of lining from around chimney breast & this is what's left. Ideally i would like to paint it without lining paper on but would i have to remove every speck of paint? If i could how would i proceed with it? If not, is it lining paper again. Cheers
