    Installed wood window sill wrong

    Easy to do for someone like me wanting to forget DIY and enjoy the BH. Put sill in with foam, but even though i thought I'd held it long enough clearly it hadn't set as it's not completely level and slants forward a bit. Do I cut this out ( if yes how) and start again or as its under a blind...

    Putting down lvt

    I would recommend a multi tool rather than jigsaw myself. Amazing how quickly the PVC will burn underneath. I also wouldn't recommend Click LVT in wet rooms, mines slippery and it just won't take loads of water I'd say with the click mechanism. For radiators you drill a hole and cut out the...

    Oak Veneer - Osmo

    Hi, What would be the best Osmo oil for Oak Veneer doors? I've used Osmo in the past on the other doors i've got but chucked the tin and can't remember if it was Polyx i'd bought. I've got a matt finish from previous work done similar to the untreated door at the moment. Thanks

    Masking tape trauma!

    Masking tape trauma!

    Is that new plaster? Looks like you haven't mist coated enough as yellow frog tape (if that's what it is) shouldn't take paint off that much at worse. However you have to cut in to ceilings from the wall with a steady brush, you can't do this with masking tape as you'll be asking for trouble.

    Dilux diamond Matt - blue blobs

    Opened up about a two year old tin of Dulux diamond Matt I had mixed up and it had these weird clumps of blue stuff within it. I mixed it up out the tin and it was fine so just curious here what it might had been?

    Dulux EasyCare Range

    I'd do yourself a favor and just get a mix of Trade Diamond Matt in chosen colour at Brewers or a Dulux Centre. Its more expensive but will water down better and need less coats.

    Trouble getting Click LVT under door frame

    Hiya, Been working on this fit all day now onto tricky bits. I'm trying to get LVT under the door frame, doesn't seem to be any particular motion of force to move it, any tries have been random. How the hell do I get this to budge..?
