Anybody?

I've decided to rip out all of the existing warped and rotting 'water resistant' [ha-ha] laminate from my kitchen, hallway & bathroom, that's only a few years old. I'm wondering what's the best thing to replace it with. I was considering using Luxury Vinyl Flooring Tiles, [LVT] Click flooring...

thanks for the tips all.. very helpful..

Cheers for that. I'll tell her!!!

Many thanks for that. geraldthehamster, so you'd have the re - bars jutting forward, nothing across?

My neighbour, [rather large lady] was cleaning her front window and went through the stone windowsill. She's unhurt btw... She asked me to repair it. See attached pic'. I was going to just make a wooden form and pour ready mix cement into it. How does that sound? Anyone with any thoughts on...

Ok Ill do that then and I won't disturb the copes. About 6" up from the roof surface the lead shall go. Many thanks for your help fellers ...

thanks all. There's felt strips going up the upstand walls to beneath the copes. Some of the felt has collapsed and come away completely..On a higher section of the wall which is about 1m high, the felt doesn't go all the way to the copes and is exposed to the weather. There are holes in it...

I was going to grind out a line. I can get my angle grinder underneath. So can it go there or lower?

I was thinking of putting it directly beneath the copings. Tucked in under them.

Evening All, I want to install some 6" lead flashing around these upstand walls which are approx 700mm high, to go over the felt going up the walls. . As you see here there are coping stones and they're in ok nick. Do you think I can tuck the lead in underneath the copingstones or should I...

I'm not relying on my neighbour's version of things mate. I'm talking about taking the Dash off so the house will mirror all the other's in this street. The conservation people would, if anything, just wish me luck with it. Its a conservation area front and back where I am, so I know the process...

Thanks, I really dont like the Dash, that's why I want rid of it. It reminds me of an Essex retirement home. When I moved in this street, there was 4 or 5 houses that had it. Now there's just mine. As the area's been gentrified, the new owners have had the dash removed at quite an expense. They...

yes I think I'll paint it. Save myself the drama. Would still love to know how they'd restore the bricks though?

Yes none of it has blown or anything like that, even after all these decades.

Yes and that's a concern for me too, painting is a reasonable compromise and one I might end up making. There's no reason to expect the brick to be in any worse condition than all the other houses in the terrace. It should be OK underneath. I know the place up the road had their Pd taken off and...

I can't unfortunately, it's a terraced house and a conservation area where I am. This PD is 70/80 years old. I was thinking of rendering over it all, but my worry is I then get told to take it off again by the council after the neighbours have complained to them. So I either leave it as is...

Hello All, I've decided I just can't live with the vile pebble dashing on the front of my smallish, 2 story house anymore. I just had a quote of just under 5K and whilst I don't think that's outrageous, I just can't afford anything like it. So, (you guessed it), I'd like to have a go at it...

Thanks. I agree, i had dehumidifier running all day and extracted quite a lot of water from that corner. So I guess it has to be.

Anyone?
