    Floppy handles on UPVC double glazing

    I've replaced some. If you can't get the exact match, there are also universal ones and I found that simple enough to fit. Take handle off. From the outside undo the screws that hold the mechanism in. Swap for new one. With the universal ones you often have to fit new catching blocks on the...

    Grout has dried rough with little visible grains

    You can use weighting scales to get ration correct. Just need to read data sheet online or packet. Do maths. 4 grams of powder to 1grams of water is 4 to 1. Clean tiles as you go with sponge. Just get worst off. When grout is setting which you test with finger. It firms up. Run something along...

    Glue Down LVT - Dip

    I like to call site meetings. That always got a smile and was good to break the Ice. I called the first site meeting before I started on arrival and often you would get offered tea. Problem is many customers stay out the way until the end and it's too late to raise concerns. I think the...

    Chimney breast Artex?

    Find out if it's artex. Just dig a bit and see if it white artex. Looks like it to me. Could be pink plaster but unlikely. If you are crazy paranoid then shaving foam and dig through that. Zero dust that way

    Glue Down LVT - Dip

    If you mentioned before and was told it would be fixed but it's not, what is the problem. Seems clear to me.. Fitter needs to sort it out and if not I'll see you in court

    Flat roof needs refelting (again!?)

    Same thing at work. We had leaks for years so they got a firm in with a static brush and it sparks where the holes are. There were loads of micro holes. Was from the area being used to work on when they tiled a roof that run off on the flat roof. I don't know what you can do other than look for...

    Scam ??

    Something odd there as scanner won't work unless the correct weight in on scales/bagging area. I think the shop worker had overrided the scales without clearing items. We should always see the start screen but anyone could miss that and get caught. I think it's happened to me the same as you...

    Moving fibre router

    First test your speed off your internet. If that's ok buy a mesh WiFi kit. You could move it but you may have many devices connected and a mesh kit will get everything connected at good speeds.

    multi finish on moisture resistant plasterboard

    I think the surface of moisture resistant board can cause the plaster not to stick so well. That's my understanding. I used to seal with quality PVA. Not a product I used much so I have limited experience

    Messed Up and Need Help With Painting Staircase

    I remember back in the 80s a old painter locking himself in a pilot and using emulsion as a undercoat. Cutting corners and saving money. Really not a good idea. It's not the correct product. In saying that, some durable emotions can be used on woodwork but the cheap builders emulsion is very...

    Can you buy Purdy soft paintbrushes

    Purdy sell medium and stiff brushes. Brush choice is very personal as we are all different.

    Of these options which will give better sound proofing?

    Sticking board on with foam might work. I've thought about it although not tried. I will say expect it not to work as well as you would hope though. I think it will help but not block everything. Jmo.

    Trumps peace deal

    It's a Ukrainian surrender document. Maybe they can negotiate something better. I don't think so. If zelensky signed it then he would need to leave or fall out a window..

    Ceiling crack mistake

    Just dig and pull tape off. I'd expect that to come off easily. Scrape off plaster and start again. What you concerned about? It's plaster so not hard.
