Hi all My sister has bought a house which has a flat roof kitchen extension. Most of what I've seen seems okay. The only thing that bugged me was the vents outside this extension. Any idea if they are incorrectly placed? https://ibb.co/fmVmHK https://ibb.co/hqkgjz <a...

Cheers for the replies. Folks - they've calmed down a bit now it's gone colder but still getting 4 or so there per day. I'll try to get some close up shots in case they can be identified.

I'm sure they're nesting somewhere in or near my bathroom window and perhaps getting in through a crack. Alternatively could be via the drainage.

Any with decent quality without a huge mark up?

Hi all My bathroom windowsill is being occupied by about 30 tiny dead flies per day. Has anyone else had this issue and if so what do you recommend for locating the source of them and dealing with the problem? Many thanks

Hi all I have recently bought my first house and wondered if anyone could advise me on the best places to look for and possibly purchase a bed, carpet and sofa. Looking for good value for money and reliable products. Nothing too high-end. Many thanks.

I agree - however, there is a hole there and this was the set up of the previous occupants so for the time being we may adopt it too if safe. Ideally would like to have a socket located behind the TV in future though.

Many thanks. Do you know of any safe video guides on how to do this? any further considerations?

Hi all Is it possible to cut a moulded plug to be able to extend it or thread it through a hole in the wall? Speaking in regards to a C7/Figure 8 TV power cable I can't fit through a wall hole. What other options are there if this is not advisable? Many thanks

Thanks all - I went throught the brick using the Dry Line Pro - so far it appears to have worked well.

Hi all I need to run a cable through the wall to my TV. The current cable will not go through the hole I have made due to its shape. It's like this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/LINDY-Right-Angled-Mains-Power/dp/B01G78SEVU/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1534441226&sr=8-16&keywords=c7+cable My idea...

Hi all I have hung my TV on the wall using Drywall pro and so far so good. I am looking to fit a face plate over the hole drilled in the wall for the cables. Could anyone suggest a screw type/system to use? Many thanks.

Hi all I have just bought my first house and the wooden ceiling panels and skirting boards are painted with low sheen egg shell white Dulux paint. Am I okay to just paint another coat over the top or do I need to do any specific prep work? Many thanks.

Hi all - could anyone recommend a good matt emulsion paint brand please? I am on the verge of buying the valspar premium stuff from B&Q and have heard mixed reviews. Colours being used are light blue, light grey, cream and olive green. Many thanks

Just a little gas fire. Don't really use it to be fair as it's not economical.

Hi all I am a DIY novice and wondered what fixtures to use above my fireplace for attaching a TV? The wall is plasterboard (around 3 cm or so thick) behind which there is a tiny gap and then brick. Sounds hollow when tapping but the brick was there when I investigated a hole the previous...
