Yes I meant take the floorboards up, lay the cement boards then just a thin layer of screed to level up.

Black silcone for the ends

Wash down with sugar soap, sand as much as you want to (the more you sand the better the end result) then go to your local independent decorators merchant and ask their advice regarding the best quality obliterating primer and topcoat.

Teak oil, or any oil just does not last unles you recaot every 3 months

I would speak to rapierstar on (0)1260 223311 . I used them all the time back in the day, they used to sell a Torx drive screw that would just drive through anything with zero slipage. They also have some treated screws that may be worth thinking about.

I know you said you want to keep the floor height the same to run through with the hallway, but could you afford (in terms of height) to put the cement board down then lay a thin self-leveling screed just to finish it off.

I think timber would take up too much depth, your C channel is the best idea for rigidity as for protruding onto the face you could just get C channel the same thickness as your door and rebate it so the channel sits flush. Alternatively, a T channel might work if you router out the back of the...

The first thing I would do is go back to the company that told you it was in tolerance and ask to prove it. It’s all well and good someone saying its ‘in tolerance’ but by who’s yardstick? Was it just their opinion or did they use a set of guidelines laid out by a governing body? Or a fancy...

That’s a big ask of any door. 18mm MDF in theory should do it, but it might warp. The problem with timber and to an extent MDF is sometimes it warps sometimes it doesn’t as there is not always a logical explanation as to why. If you can use 22mm thick MDF (with the track you have) this will...

I would just use 2x6 C16 timbers for both the ledger board and the joists. You would get away will 4x2’s over an 8 foot gap (16 inch on centers) but if it was my project I would go 2x6 for the sake of the small price difference, I like to go overboard on strength. To fix the ledger back to brick...

FYI, If it's a 1920 table Shelac will definatly be right for the era.

In terms of shaving most of the hardwood lipping off the hinge side, I wouldn’t be too concerned. I’ve had to do this in the past and I simply strengthen the area of the hinge screw by glueing a piece of 10mm oak dowel into the core for each hinge screw.

The osmo and polyurethane are incompatible and can’t be used one on top of the other. Because the hard was oil is made of oils and not resins it is entirely possible the wax oil could be preventing the Polyurethane from curing properly, hence why it’s marking easily. You need to chemically strip...

Mohawk touch up markers, designed for excatly this.

Halfords will sell 600 grit. It will be wet and dry paper but it will work for what you want to do. Alternatively just try lightly rubbing the shelves with the back of any sandpaper you have then give them a good blast of spray polish. Pledge is a good one as it contains a bit of silicone, I...

I am a French Polisher / Sprayer by trade and have repolished hundreds of these. Foxhole is correct in saying a two pack is the way to go. This can be either a acid-catalyst lacquer or a 2 pack Polyethene. The problem is most of these products are designed to be spray applied and would look...

Not on click flooring no. TBH it's also not the done thing to fit width way in a hallway.

I had exactly the same instructions a few years ago and thought that is stupid, ignored the instructions and siliconed the inside of the frame. The first time a used it water was everywhere outside of the shower. I took the sealant of and did as instructed, worked perfectly after that, it seam...

Hi All I have just changed a plastic light switch for a new decorative metal one. If I just touch the switch without moving my finger I don't feel anything, but if I run my finger across the face of the switch it feels like it is "buzzing", there is no pain or electric shock and I have...
