Just removed some boards from the wooden conservatory and discovered this insulation.. I'm not an expert but i've never seen it before. To my very untrained eye it looks like roof insulation in a plastic bag lol. The bottom half has rotted away so it does need replacing. The windows on the...

thank you! I just have to try and work out if I can climb on it lol A small question: Quite a few of those say "Not for long term use". Will that still be okay to use? or would I be better off with say a liquid rubber type paint?

Which is another reason i really don't want to touch it lol As I say the whole this is solid and waterproof. Replacing the whole thing would be quite expensive and a big job, Spesh if it was asbestos. I'd rather just 'seal' it up, board it up and forget about it for now until things are a little...

Hi. We purchased a house last year and the house has a brick lean to with a corrugated (?) roof attached. The people we bought it from took us into the lean to and said "That roof will need replacing. We've done everything we can to it and it leaks". We couldn't really see the 'leaks' as they...

I'm looking for something like this - LINK to insert into a desk. It's the PERFECT thing for my needs but i can only seem to find them on E-bay, Temu, Aliexpress, Amazon (with the same photos of the ones on Temu) etc. Does anybody know how safe they are? They'll only be used for small draws...

The two cables are running through the same conduit (should have said that sorry). The boiler is somewhat above the switch itself. I don't know why it didn't just go straight up through the ceiling tbh rather than half way to the kitchen then up.

We moved into a house last year and are about to decorate the hallway. It's a smallish hallway and there is a switch (The boiler isolation switch) stuck right in the eyeline as you walk in. Our plan is it literally move in 3-4feet to the left and 'hide' it (not box it in) with a plant. As you...

No. Honestly they're really good. I just had a dodgy one. I managed to get them to agree to take it back. The new one is spot on again. I think if you're planning on doing a lot of 'alcove' or internal measuring they're brilliant.

Thank you. It was accurate when we first purchased it though which is odd. Literally bang on the dot. We tried it for short distances and the length of the garden 10m. Bloody thing lol. The surface was breeze block, Painted walls (matt) and one was tile. Currently in contact with toolstation...

Lol thats a hell of a discrepancy!

It says per 10m. Agreed but watching a few independent reviews on youtube say it's fine for DIY'ers. It doesn't have to be that accurate but 2-3cm's off is going a bit far.

Thank you for your help! I think the main culprit is an overflowing waterbutt. You can kind of see it under all the brambles in that photo. It was over flowing on left side and had been for over a few years by the look of the mould and fungus. Looks like it just kept the wood utterly soaked...

I'm so sorry for the late reply. i didn't get any notifications of a reply! Yep, the rotton wood is on the outside and has been removed. There IS insulation but it looks like cheap roof wool insulation about 2cm thick but it's in a plastic bag?! Never seen that before I have covered it back up...

Hi. Sorry if this is a dopy question. I purchased a Dewalt laser (DWHT77100-XJ measure from Toolstation 5 months ago and have only used it once (to try it) and it was purchased in a sale with plans to use it when carrying out replacing a roof of the conservatory which I am now doing. I took it...

Hi. Sorry if this is a dumb question but we moved into this house last year and it has a conservatory (Thats how it was described but i'd say it's a lean to). The past owners said the whole thing is insulated except for the small right side. The wood on this side is rotten and i'll be replacing...

Thank you for the reply. Ah, i see what you mean. Our landing light has upstairs and downstairs switch which makes sense. The three lights are in the bedrooms and only have one on and off switch. Does that make any difference? I can turn the main switch off but i'd have to turn it on every...

Hi. This may be a really silly question - I need to change a 4 pendant lights UPSTAIRS. I have changed them many times but when I do I normally turn the MAIN switch off. For years I've been told "Just turn the one switch off, in this case the upstairs lights (circled in red) When i turn it...

Bit hard to explain.. but here goes lol Due to the layout of the house it would be costly to get a tap out the back of the house and we don't really need it that often. So, i am using a splitter attached to the washing machine inlet and I was attaching the hose to this everytime we needed it...

Ty! I didn't spot that. Not sure why it didn't load but i've repasted the link. thank you!

Hope it's okay to ask but I'm looking for something like this but with 3/4inch on both sides? It's for a garden hose connector. I need something with a valve to be able to just turn it off rather than going to the tap. I did buy a VERY over priced one from Amazon £9.99 but when it turned up...
