Aluminium foil tape is cheap. Stick that on the back or some plasterboard. Better to pack plasterboard to get it to the correct level. 6mm 9.5mm and 12.5mm plasterboard available. You can stick on with polymer. Screws after it's dried if you want. Use screws as a depth stop as you can turn...

Get a socket set. Find a socket smaller than grub screw that don't fit on. Couple of smacks with a hammer will shape the brass to the socket. Very often the bleed screw comes loose when I've done this in the past. If not when socket it's on use your socket wrench. I've advised customers to...

Wind blowing through causing noise?

Is it the fan motor causing the noise as you can modify the mount.

Use the recommend anti freeze for the car. I just looked online and you should use blue silicate-based coolant/antifreeze. Halfords is £20 for 5lt. Do fact check me though

If that's a plasterboard ceiling as new 18 years ago? Rake out a bit deeper. Seal in joint with Gardz. I then use CT1 or Stixall and get it deep in the joint as this sticks the wall to the ceiling. Make sure it deep leaving enough room for filler to cover the polymer mastic. Now fill the wall...

Wire wool and meths to clean. Give it a coat of Zinsser BIN. See what happens

Second coat is needed if its rough. Fill joints. Tape them. Then skim. Thats will stop the joint sag. Not a product I've used much of. I prefer mixing my own powders as you can control the thickness and they set so you can get another coat on and keep repeating. Always a good idea to keep...

@Mottie Mate of mine aged 11 decided to take his dads honda 400cc I think it was for a spin one school dinner time. Junior school if I remember correctly. Dropped it. After two attempts and a rest he got it back up and rode it home. He kept the helmet on so nobody noticed he was younger...

Microfiber cloth and hot water and washing up liquid. Go easy.... Best kitchen fitter I ever seen used coloured silicone on joints. Amazing job although kitchen fitters I spoken after don't like the idea for some reason. That solvent needs to be used gently and quickly. If there is a next...

No my area of knowledge although I'm putting down 3 pallets of sandstone ATM. I'm using a 3m straight edge which is a old blind rail and wood to get my levels. My slabs aren't that flat so that don't help. A line is good to check but it gets in the way. If you use resin joints that lets...

Try alcohol like meths or alcohol hand wipes but it's an epoxy resin type material and that type of product is bullet proof when it's dry so you are probably up the creek

I've got pea gravel around plastic drainage pipes then type 1 gravel.. large bags are around £50 plus delivery

Hi. Sorry to hear your had a bad experience and it seems many have similar experience when customer recommendations don't seem to be how things happen. Unfortunately you will be better to find a decent tradesmen to finish the work off to how you would like it done. You should get a written...

Must be me. I'm strange

Depends how deep and how much soil. I would use gravel as more solid. Hard to compact soil after digging out. Up to you

Make a v with a disk cutter and use a lump hammer and chisel in the v point. Mate was a fencer and that's how he bust concrete in posts easily. Cheap SDS with a chisel fitted works well

Compatible brand list online. Some connect to each other with no problems while others just don't

You need to investigate and determine the state of it in the ground and decide how much you want to replace. You can use a UPVC Soil to Clay adapter which will fit inside the iron pipe.
