My garage seemed to have gone so damp since I changed to a double glazed window. There is virtually droplets of water on the tin roof that makes anything inside the garage damp. How can I sort this out ? Make some holes and put a couple of air bricks or vents ? it makes the support timber...

I want to add a screen to a 1700mm bath. They usually come in 700 750 or 800mm widths. What width would you go for?

It is the side of the handles that I have already drilled the latch and painted the door! I can't put a block now but what I am thinking is to make a small 13-14mm hole face on the door near where the handles attach and fill it with wood filler and small wood pieces to avoid using screws and...

Oh Sugar! So I probably chiseled the wrong way!

Can you get any hollow doors with a wider wooden strip around the handle area so I don’t have to use nuts and bolds for securing the handles to the door ? I bought the doors from selco and the wood strips around the doors are too thin. The older hollow doors on the property have a wider wooden...

Sorry yes I am the landlord the last lady died I bought her property! Any idea of a rough cost for filling with concrete including labour?If it is up to £300 I might as well fill it in. What do you think?

I'm having beveled metro tiles in the kitchen and I am a bit concerned of the gaps the bevel create around electrical sockets. Can I use a spacer like the one attached and then having the socket raised up. So I grout around the spacer and then the sockets are firmly in place all around using...

I did had someone coming but they are all too busy and the tenant is moving in two weeks!

I don’t like the ridges on the flexible connectors as they accumulate dirt. I think of using a bent like in the photo, shall I go for a wide bent or a normal one as it is underneath the bath and don’t want to open it for cleaning.

My bath trap is too high in relation to where it needs to be connected, I’m stuck! Is there anything I can do other than going round the back and then forward with L-connectors ? Thanks

I just purchased a property and they seem to have added a piece of worktop at a later stage on a straight line. The problem is one piece is bull nose the next is square edge and there is no joint in between they sit loose on top of the floor cabinets. Is there an aluminium joint that will do...

I am having a 40mm sink waste pipe that can either go straight out of the wall and then drop outside, around 50cm from the floor, or drop it inside the house before bring it outside very close to the outside floor, then horizontal to the drain.... What would you recommend...

Sorry I did not make it clear but I do not wish to have the emergency lights outside permanently on as it will highlight to the burglar where the available entrances are and there are 4 around the building, as it is an old mill. There is not enough ambient light outside as the exits come out...

I am trying to avoid attraction by thieves to our commercial building during the night by illuminated permanently the outside of fire exits that is generally quite dark. Am I allowed to use a combination of PIR Flood Lights and a non maintained light to cover myself with all possibilities. So...

Probably the way I’m presenting options is not great lol. I’m trying to debate whether to go for the extension or do something else! Sorry Andy!!!

I can plug the left side with a 32mm plug and use a straight length of 40mm pipe straight from the trap to this one so I don’t have to go through the sink. What do you think? I

Yes I’m concerned with extensions ! I like rigid stuff if the tenant doesn’t connect the extension well it will flood the kitchen!

this is how it will look, washer too far from sink to use with standard size hoses
