Did that at the weekend and a couple times before. :(

She doesn’t but I do :LOL: used it for rinsing resin 3D prints, nothing fruity. It’s high strength too so will give that a go. I had wondered about a wire brush but worried that might damage the slabs, or could it help agitate the sealer?

Can’t get hold of the guy who did it. He failed to turn up half a dozen times when promising to come and address it. Wouldn’t even give me the product name when I asked so I could do exactly that, find out how to remove it, so I’m left with a guessing game of ‘what’s the sealer’. I don’t think...

It’s been down nearly a year. He tried telling me it was due to potentially damp slabs but even in the height of summer when the slabs get above ambient temps it was still the same when they got wet. Any ideas if I could try to disolve it with something so it can be scrubbed and washed away?

No it’s like a plastic on rubber when you run a trainer against it. Doesn’t go sticky at all.

Hi all, someone put a patio sealer on our former concrete flags and it’s not taken. It comes up all white when it’s wet, almost like a plasticy pva look. The guy never told us what it was, never honoured the warranty, beat his wife and then shut down his online accounts, so getting information...

The border will follow the fence line all the way around apart from the paved area, because the fence isn’t 90 degrees on that corner we are coming out slightly to achieve the square paved area.

I’m in the process of putting a border around an existing patio, a garden border and also putting in a new paved area. In the attached picture you will see the new paved area in the top right and a drawn red line where the brick border will go around all edges. As the fence in the top right...

This is what we have opted for. Didn’t realise they were referred to as blue which is why we weren’t getting many results on google. Have got a few and they look like they will do the job nicely. Any recommendations on sand base or wet mix? Thanks!

Hi all. We are looking to edge our patio and garden with a single line of grey brick, but we want them butted tightly together, not sand filled like a driveway joint. Would I be right in thinking that engineering bricks are flat on all sides? (driveway bricks seem to have notches to force the...

I need to put some chippings down on the garage extension roof, it’s aprx 2.5m x 2.5m. How deep should I lay it and what sort of chippings/gravel should I use? Existing stuff is white but not a lot comes up to buy that matches this. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply. Ended up buying a replacement adapter like you have suggest

I need to replace a washer that fits an appliance outlet at the sink trap. It got distorted on a bad install as can be seen in the pics. Ideally I’d like to replace with another flap type one but nothing I search for brings them up. This is bigger than a 3/4 inch pipe washer from the water feed...

Right so I've run through a few options and I'm looking to cut away some of the arris rail where the water pools and install a gutter to lead to a water butt. However, what I'd really like is a side exit hopper to keep things up and out the way as the water butt will be around the corner. Does...

Yes the original garage roof has white stone chippings on. I didn’t realise that also helped with protection from the elements, so that’s good to know.

That’s an interesting point. Could the problem be down to the fact that ‘top felt’ has not been put down yet? As I understand it there is only ‘underlay’ and a couple layers of blackjack roof repair.

It’s an extension to the garage and that has always had water on sitting on it at the back side so I’m pretty sure that’s not level either. The gutter is at the other end of the garage. If I get the roof relaid to slope towards the existing garage roof it will just sit there, so would it be best...

Ive always had an issue with water standing on the flat roof of my workshop. What would be the best way to fix this? Thanks

I rendered a step (1 of 2) last weekend and were wanting to paint it, however the finish isn’t as smooth as we’d hoped even though using plastering/rendering sand. I used a 4:1 mix. I’ve sampled some ‘external’ filler which I really didn’t like and removing it ha take a fair hit of material...

Yes it does have RCD protection. Ive got plenty of 2.5mm cable for the sockets and 1.5 for the lights.
