Fantastic, thank you

The wooden board behind my gutters in the garage is rotten. Do I need to replace this before I attach a UPVC board in front behind the gutters or can I do what next door have done( second photo ) stick a flat 16mm fascia board straight into the wall which attaches to a batten that is inside...

Very strange. I fitted these before in another rental without any issues. I used the Hep2o collars that are not flat as the John guest but it is a hep2O valve so I never really mix. Bizzare. I might change the valve to a Pegler one compression type and see if that’s any better.

I just fitted a secondary easy shut off valve on the water straight after the mains stop cock. Now when the toilet sink tap is turned off there is a big noise and the pipe is moving inside the Hep2o valve. Is this normal as I have never experienced this. All the pipes are clipped ok and the...

I need the dry verge re-installed and the ridges replaced/repointing. ( The dry verge has been screwed to the mortar so some of them have started flying off! ) All tiles are intact and the ridges are there but there are missing mortar chunks from it. This is for a small bungalow. I have been...

Ok I see usually I add extra support with brackets underneath but these are houses I buy that someone else has done the work! With the metal bars I usually silicone underneath the bar before fitting it so there is no way water will find its way in. I’m installing a new Wren kitchen at the...

Almost in all of my rentals the worktop joints lift after 5-6 years. Is that down to poor installation or they just do. Now for future reference when we need a new worktop would you recommend the bar joint instead of the mitre joint. I don’t mind the cosmetics or visual. I just want a reliable...

I got no idea why he used a black pipe. He showed me the grid was broken so it had to be changed. He added an Aco drain on the side of the garden as the soil is like clay underneath the grass so it wouldn’t drain the water properly so he removed the grass and we flag it with Indian stone...

My land scape gardener installed a new drain grid about a flag higher than the previous one was. Would that be a problem if he creates a small fall for water to drive to the garden and raise the flags a bit. I attach photos of before and after.

I’m replacing the grass in the garden with Indian stone and I added an Aco drain on the side of the garden that leads to the water waste. Would you recommend to add another drain on the side on the highlighted area? The Indian stone is on step higher than the front flags.

I have an Aco drain installed in the garden on the side of Indian stone. What’s best for the link between the down pipe of the garage gutters and the Aco drain. 1 extend the eco drain 2 add a dedicated drain linked to the eco drain and if that’s the best does Aco drain do they make any such...

Yeah! It's fine it did not come with a pelmet, pls ignore.

My Wren kitchen came with a pelmet and a Cornish both square. However when I go to the showroom they have not fitted the pelmet. It’s for a rental shall I install it or not as I will have to cut the end panels accordingly. My kitchen is handleless like the photo 1 In photo 2 is the pelmet...

Yes I have a spirit level the problem if I tighten it up at the top I here is a gap at the bottom and vice versa I join two 800 units together

My kitchen wall is not square I know I hide imperfections with the corner blank by scribing in the wall How do you go about tighten the support brackets though. Do you tighten on the brackets and allow the gap at the bottom that will be covered bu the end panel or you allow equal gap top and...

I’m installing a Wren kitchen and I have two 800mm wide wall units. Do I use a divider or not? Inside the flat pack there are three planks I can cut to size if I need to fit one( I think they were there for protection ) Wren provides middle supports for the 900-1000 wide units but not the...

This Fischer pack came with brass screws that’s why I asked. The stainless steel screws I buy from Accu screws are getting rounded if you push them and are not as strong as steel as I had some of them snapping when I installed curtain poles. You can get marine grade ones but this only improve...

I’m wondering what you usually go for securing cistern onto tiled wall. Brass screws or stainless steel. These are screws are virtually inside the cistern tank

I chipped the toilet cistern lid. Is there anything you will recommend to fill and re enamel so I don’t have to replace the lid ?

Thank you both, you got me in the right direction I think I might try this one :
