    You can get plastic panels to replace glass units. They also make them with metal inside for security. Is that what you want?

    Ideal logic combi 30, cannot repressurise after removing radiators

    If the boiler can't circulate water won't it burn out? Mate did the same and boiler burnt out same day. I thought they just stop working if they get too hot but his was toast.

    Slightly twisted post - install for gate

    That post will pop probably keep twisting a bit more. Just the way timber is there days. Fine to use it as you can make it work. I prefer to use a concrete post as more ridged.

    Any recommendations for internet security

    Just use windows defender which is free and common sense. I find I don't need a VPN but windscribe is what I use if needed. VPN can be very restrictive though. Guess it depends what you are doing

    Tapered plasterboard?

    You can get 4 sided tapered boards. Not sure who would sell but I'd try CCF ltd. 9.5mm is a bit whippy so you are better off with 12.5mm Hire a board lifter if like me you are on your own. Tape and jointing on tapered edge is not that easy vs just fitting standard board and skimming

    Laying Slabs Incoming Heatwave?

    Use mortar admix. Crack on. I am. You can mist water over and chuck a damp sheet over layed slabs if you are worried, but I'll probably mist with water and chuck a tarp over. I'm not going to stess. Last weekend I was rained off and not very warm.

    External paint that is not breatheable

    @TNDU I think that some in the trade don't always agree with the damp survey companies. I know I don't. What you need to do is educate yourself and try some things first and see how things go. You may find you solve your problem cheaply. Watch this for example.

    External paint that is not breatheable

    There are companies that will strip paint from houses. You can also use chemicals like peelaway paint stripper. It might be the case it would be better just to remove the render and start again. Do you have lime render on the house?

    Is zinnser gardz the same as peelstop

    Gardz is a sealer. Peel stop is a binder but also seals. They are not the same although cross over. In all my years I've never used peel stop because I scraped off anything loose. Use a glass scraper. Wood chisel. Wallpaper scraper. Anything you have that's sharp and get the loose paint...

    Flood detection, can it be built in to cars?

    Probably based on regulator road floods linked to maps and magic eyes looking for danger like floods. As for all cars, the technology is big and expensive ATM. Maybe one day when it becomes cheap and compact systems I guess all cars will have it. Might be safer without human error so...

    Preparing walls for paint

    Gardz will neutralise wallpaper paste residue and seal the wall. You can then just paint the wall with a quality emulsion and no need to mistcoat.. Some people use a cheap chalky contract emulsion as a blinder ( cover coat) then get a durable emulsion over which won't like going over the...

    Is this normal...painting wardrobe doors....advice needed please

    You can buy obliterating emulsion but I've never needed to use it. I would of expected 3 coats of undercoat would be enough to cover anything. If you are struggling go with a gray undercoat before a white.

    Is this normal...painting wardrobe doors....advice needed please

    I find it easier to take doors off and lay horizontal as you can get more paint on without runs. Other option is to paint and get a summer fan blowing to dry paint as less likely to get runs
