19mm thick and 100mm hinges? I might be wrong but they are often about 30mm deep. Meaning that they could not be used on 19mm doors I cannot see a single hinge knuckle. Can you take a photo of the door hinge when open? I think you might have 35mm cup hole "kitchen" cabinet fittings, If so, it...

Jesus wept, you really can be hard work. Is the above not spliced? Square edge cuts glued with a dedicated "1" hour epoxy resin. No screws used. Along the length of both barge boards there where numerous 0.2 to 0.5mm shallow cracks. I enlarged the cracks, used the super glue (as a wood...

How thick are the doors? 35mm? If so, I think you might need to adjust the hinges (probably the two middle hinges). You can use superglue and matches to plug the old holes in the frame and then drive in new screws. Check to see if the frame or door has warped. Photos will help others to advise...

Can't you use 6mm red nylon plugs (with no collar) and use a suitably long 5mm screw to hammer them into the blockwork (before then screwing in the screw)? If you are concerned that you might hammer to plugs too deep, you can push another in to meet the end of the last one. BTW, I am assuming...

Can't you use mag catches? The following can be adjusted by rotating the the round magnet. https://www.screwfix.com/p/essentials-round-magnetic-cabinet-catches-white-16mm-x-16mm-10-pack/368te

That isn't a doorbell though. Presumably, you would need to use a ladder each time you want to remove the SD card.

Would you rather that he didn't ask? Sorry not a slight on you. The OP has asked a valid question. He/she might be doing the ground work before an electrician turns up... and yes, I accept that your retort might be that he should ask the electrician. Regardless, surely it is better that people...

I did wonder if a new thermostat/thermo couple was required but in my very limited experience, I have only needed them when fridges refuse to get cold.

I do not have a dog in this "fight". A problem with silicone render is that, regardless of the claims made by the manufacturers, it is (often) not "self cleaning". As per @wayner 's post. It will require periodic cleaning. That said the frequency might be less than the need to repaint sand and...

Presumably the timber stretchers for the base will be protected from rain and will only get wet because of standing water. Perhaps the OP can clarify.

Valid point. I hadn't thought about that. Delamination? I was applying epoxy resin filler over the top and then painting it. I don't see why the other proprietary wood hardeners would be any different. I used to use the Timberbuild 2 part epoxy wood hardener, but found it would stay sticky over...

That is my go to waterbased primer/undercoat. I found it when I used to specialise in painting (raw) MDF cabinets. It was the only one that I could sand flat without clogging my abrasives. It is not particularly good at obliterating dark colours, but that never bothered me because I let the oil...

The paint will "never" dry. Just hit it with water based primer. Then recoat with oil based paint. OB1 is a MS polymer. I have painted MS polymers a year after they were applied. The oil based paint would still not cure. I do not understand the chemical reaction. I have come across a brand...

I am currently working on an exterior in Chiswick. The ends of the barge boards required a bit of timber splicing. Naturally, I removed most of the rotten timber but some areas were quite "punky". I didn't have any wood hardener with me, so used a filler knife and super glue. It seems to have...

Let him take you to the small claims court. I honestly don't think he will, and when you show the judge/magistrate the work, I think the claim will be dismissed. It might be prudent to threaten to take him to court to recover the costs of recifying his shoddy work. Potentially, the costs will...

The problem with a plastic DPM is that it is typically wider than the timber. Additionally, it is very thin. We have no way of knowing how much standing water there might be when it rains. I see your point about shims sinking into the wood, but I have never experienced that and I have used...

Yeah, I use old tights to remove lumps from thicker paints (masonry to oil based). When working with 2K paints (which are thin), I use the conical paper filters (with a mesh). I used to get mine from Morrells. To be honest, I don't recall which thickness of cones/mesh I used.

The Eufy doorbell camera is available (wired or battery) with a hard drive which connects to the router. It allows you to review (from memory) up to 30 days of video via the app on your phone or tablet. No subscription is required. The downside is that the upfront cost is higher because of the...

I normally use the following shims. https://www.screwfix.com/p/broadfix-plastic-u-shims-assorted-60-pcs/885KJ You may need a crowbar to lift the base slightly to add more (if required). The thickest is 6mm. You can use glue to glue more together- I normally use a hot melt glue gun to fix them...
