I’m screening a small gap between my existing concrete floor in my house and new aluminium bi fold doors. Approx 2400 x 200mm x 200mm. I’ve bought some Castle Multicem cement and coarse builders sand. Do I need aggregate, if so what type and how much? Thanks in advance.

Thanks @noseall - really appreciate the advice. Can you recommend a board to buy which is rigid please and do I need to line with polythene first? I will use a fein saw to remove the current close flush to the skirting. Also part of the polystyrene is slightly damaged and cracked up to the...

Hi all, So from a previous thread in UPVC, I’ve removed the main part of the floor of my cavity closer thinking it was part of the old upvc doors which I’ve replaced with aluminium bi folds. Apart from being really annoyed with myself, I’m now lost as to what to do to resolve the issue. I...

OMG. Just read up on what it is. Great. :-( What are my options now?

Hi all, I’ve been renovating a 2007 house and last year replaced the UPVC french doors with bi fold aluminium ones. This left me with a large gap around the doorway which my plasterer has resolved on the walls and ceiling. On the floor was a thick grey plastic trim, which wasn’t solid and so I...

Hi all, I have 8 LED ground decking lights from around 2007 which I’m looking to replace in my outside decking. They are running off the mains and whilst I can’t see a transformer, I’m assuming there isn’t one. They are using the 2 pin connectors. We are looking for some that shine up against...

Hi, I’m looking to purchase a used amp for my lounge surround system - the house I’ve moved to has 5 ceiling speakers. I’m looking to connect my tv above my fireplace and use HD over Cat5e so the TV box will sit under the stairs with the amp along with the Apple TV. What’s the best value amp I...

Hi, it’s blockwork and the plasterboard is dot and dabbed onto the brick. The electric switch is to the left of the fireplace for the lights and the isolation switch to the right for the gas. There is a purpose built chimney behind The fireplace for the existing gas fire. It is a modern 12 year...

Hi all, I’ve been renovating my 12 year old house and have come round to replacing the fireplace. It looks pretty straight forward. Is this something I can do on my own? Appreciate I will need someone to come and install the new gas fire. Chris

Hi all, I had a leak in my apartment in the kitchen area which is laid with Elka 7mm laminate flooring in Rustic Oak. Seems the 7mm has not stopped being manufactured which leaves me with a problem as I need around 2 packs to replace the damaged boards which have blown. Does anyone know of any...

Have checked, can be either for this model.

Hi, I have a tall designer radiator in my kitchen which just won’t heat up properly! The right valve gets hot and you can feel the heat near the entry at the bottom of the rad but the left valve doesn’t get hot at all. I have turned anti-clockwise to max. These valves and rad were installed by...
