Does it matter which side the strip is on (garage or room)? I'm guessing from a cosmetic perspective garage side is better? Also I've taken out the old door ready to fit the lining. I noticed that there is a bit of a gap either above or below depending on how I fit the lining. My thought was...

Be handy if I could pick your brains once I have fitted the frame. I think I'll have exactly the same headaches as you have encountered as there isn't a threshold in place.

Hi guys, I put an extension on our place and am looking to swap out the door which leads into the garage currently old upvc external door. I understand the door and lining both need to be fire rated up to 30 minutes which isnt a problem but would this door be considered an internal or external...

Hi guys Noticed that our soffit which is something like 6mm ply (flimsy) is rotten and the tail which is picking up the soffit is rotten also (not sure what it's attached to as I dont want to disturb it). The ply seems to run across the top of the window into the bay and then back out the other...

Hi guys - sorry to pester. Could you guys drop the model names of the systems you have here please as its the classic there are so many options\manufacturers out there all promising the world but I would rather go down the route using experience and use to decide which one to go for. Thanks!

Not fussed as long as it stays up ;)

And then bracket the gravel boards?

Thanks for the reply - these are the panels I bought https://www.bradfords.co.uk/tafs-pressure-treated-framed-featheredge-fence-panel-1828-x-1828mm

Hi guys As the title suggests Im installing a new fence the location is quite windy so Ive taken the 2.4 meter 4" post 800mm into the ground. What Im trying to work out is should I screw the panels into the face of the posts or use L brackets and mount the panels between the posts? Is it...

Hi guys Just something which has baffled me for a while and I thought Id ask the stupid question Why are there what seems to be so many different types of (flex) tap connectors? I mean I wanted to get the tail type which screws up into the tap with an isolation valve on it and I couldn't seem...

Hi, My 1980's bungalow had insulation pumped into it as part of what I understand was a government scheme a few years ago (I think they are bringing it back out again??). Over the years it seems to get damp spots on the ceilings and walls and I never really thought anything of it apart from...

Hi guys Probably a silly question but is it ok to use a straight flexi connector on a vertical waste pipe? Im trying to offset the toilet slightly to centralise it. Thanks

Long gone unfortunately

That picture is floor tiles but Ive got messy wall ones also. I was rushing the job (keen diy'er) and haven't done the cleanest of jobs.

I think I have these are they different colours (black white and red for example) and do I use a solution of some sort or just hot water? Thanks

Thanks guys I was hesitant to post the question as I knew someone would ask the tile material type. I think they are porcelain but will check if possible. Does the material type make a difference when it comes to removing the adhesive and grout spills?

Hi Guys Hoping someone can help me and suggest the best way to clean up tiles which have adhesive and grout on the face of them. I read that brick cleaning acid is a good method - Ive tried acetone without any joy so Im hoping someone has a good suggestion please?! Thanks

Hi guys We're getting some of these doors fitted (they are laminate) and the carpenter has sent us a picture showing the internal wood colour rather than the grey. He said this is standard and Howdens supply a paint to colour but Ive looked on the manual for these and it says about a 10mm lip...

Its a dark art :)

Hi guys Ive always struggled getting skirting to fit right on external corner joins. Is there a technique Im missing as walls are always out so when Im mitring the two lengths I always seem to get that slight split. Yes I can chaulk it but surely there's a better easier way to get the two to...
