Only got photo right now, there's a tiled roof with attic space. I'm thinking to strip it down put a grp roof on and turn it into a patio. I am thinking about how to fix the decking balustrade so it's solid. If piers go through the roof to connect with the structure below, how to waterproof...

Hi. If a 1st floor patio is done over a fibreglass roof, and it has decking ... does the deck just rest on the fibreglass and bolted to ... in this case it would be a patio 6x3m and the deck could be bolted to 2 walls in an "L" shape ... is that sufficient, or does it need to be bolted through...

Thanks but the heads are very flat ... do you think if I put a crowbar under I could lever it up gradually?

Hi, and Happy New Year. I have to get under the Victorian floorboards to lay insulation, but there are hardboard sheets on top with about 30 nails each. Is there a way to get these sheets off without destroying them that anyone can recommend? Thanks

I don't know what you mean? They do generate power ! Perhaps you can explain.

Ha ... you have nothing to say. It is after all not very common for people to put their cosy view of the world on the line. It is easy to stay under the duvet and imagine everythign is going to be alright !!!

Do you know that france has 60 nuclear power stations and China is building 150 new nuclear stations. Do you know that ? All countries are. So ... we are going to do the same. All this Greta nonsense means nothing. We don't need to stop breathing to save the goddam "environment" (wherever...

Thanks for your help

I hear the Government is now run by Great Guilttrip Thunberg and so we all have to have the L.E.D insect lighting in our homes. Anyone else hate this lighting? Is this going to revert to sanity in the future, or is this part of the Great Reset Generation Insect?

Hi, I have some oak cabinets AEG. They are worn and the varnish missing in places. What can I use to give it the same finish as the factory again. Thanks

Nothing visible at all the socket has an inner and outer that shifts very slightly but it's quite fragile plastic I've already chippped a bit. I actually just swapped the visibe lamp casing and kept the inner socket the same, just finished it.

How can I get the cables out of this unit without breaking it ? Is there a way? Thanks.

The world is more mindless every day, there is great resistance in people to think about what they are doing. Scaffolders and many other people just make more noise every day with more machines. Cancer rates go up, their children take prozac or hide in computers to get away from it all...

I am starting to notice that the cars on the road have their lights on in the daytime. ... in order to save energy or something ... People are just losing their sanity, their no reasoning with them, for all I know they try to make everything as noisy and stupid as possible because they no longer...

Thanks .. actually got a Hozeloc connector from Wickes, it has various plastic washers so it just about works if someone holds it on. Cheers

Hi, I own a maisonette and thinking about putting a terrace at 2nd floor level, there is a kitchen at the first floor level with a pitched roof. Wondering if putting corrugated metal on a low pitch with a wooden deck above is a good long term solution which won't require re-roofing often and...

Hi, I have a pair of halogen gu10 downlights in a gable, Victorian flat. They downlights hang at 45 degrees due to the slope and let in a lot of draught. I just want to check that I can use the hoods safely, by taking the units out and pushing the hoods through the hold and glueing them in...
