It has gaps of over 10mm in places. What kind of filler would you use for that? I’ve seen some videos of scribing but I think this may be more complicated as some width of the architrave needs to go anyhow, in order to sit at the clearance line. I’m happy to start again, if there is a more...

I’ve made a dogs dinner out of this. I know but let me explain. I’ve successfully fitted a few architrave now. Including two next to the wall that needed to be trimmed down the length. With this, I measured at the bottom, middle and top. I cut the architrave based on these measurements. This...

Can someone name this spindle or the supplier for it please? I need one to replace the missing one. Ideally from a local DIY shed.. Thanks in advance.

Excuse my ignorance but how does this help when the walls are wonky across the entire length?

No bending or block-up's. A couple didn't pull the skirting in but on a number of occasions, I could see that the nails pulled the board tight.

It hasn't bene rewired recently and has been in place for a few years. I only noticed the surface water this winter and the blowing last year. The reverse impeller sounds very plausible. Except the tissue does get sucked in when I try this. I do find that odd. I can feel the air blowing by...

I could but I have painted upstairs and wanted the dust to be confined to downstairs. I also have more space in the lounge downstairs.

Perhaps it would help to have a circular saw upstairs for the shaving slightly off part? Currently I need to trek down to the chop saw for everyone of these adjustments.

18 Gauge and I think it probably just went into the plaster, without penetrating the blocks behind it. I've got plaster straight on to blocks in this property

I was doing some skirting boards over the weekend and had a question please. If you take a wall such as this: I measure it and cut a piece accordingly but it's then usually slightly short. I think it's because the wall bulges in and out and that increases the length? I then tried leaving it...

UPDATE - I used my new Ryobi Nailer with the skirting this weekend and can report that it does pin the skirting to the plaster. In a few places it. visibly pulled the skirting in. Pleased with that :)

Not sure about the vent in the outside. It has a 10 min over run. We have a gap under the door.

When it’s on, it’s blowing air into the bathroom

I’ve got one of these that is blowing air into the bath. However, when I place a tissue on the fan it does suck it in. Defies logic! There’s lots of water sitting on the bath walls. Can I get some advice on this muddled situation I find myself in please.

like this? But the return end will just hang off the artex ceiling?

I have been drylining a wall and used the thin coat beads on external corners. Happy with the finish. Here, I am connecting to an existing artex ceiling. How can I best finish this off? Thanks in advance.

When I connect a single set of T&E into these push in terminals, al seems fine and the connections are tight. When I add the second set, they don't push in in the same way. They seem looser. I have also tried by pushing down the levers on the terminals. No avail. I have tried multiple...

Sorry @Wayners, I'm all questions! I've seen videos where guys hold it in place for a few seconds and then their away doing the next bit of skirting. I assumed from that, that it is secured to the wall once firmly pushed into place. I am happy to hold it for a minute or so if that's safer.

I am using Stixall for this and wondering how long it needs to be held in place before it sets (on a reasonably straight wall)? The instructions just state that it needs to be held in place til it dries! I don't want to let go, only to realise that it bounces back later. It's going on to...

In the past, I have done all the painting - emulsion and gloss - and applied caulk at the end. I think the caulk needs to be painted over?
