Hello. I am planning on fitting new plinths and was wondering if this rubber seals are necessary? I have used them before and not only are they a pain in the as! to fit, but they also just gather crumbs and dirt. Would some clear silicone do the job? Thanks in advance. It’s these...

I am getting the front painted and cleaned and was wondering what this is? The cables behind are cut and there is nothing coming into the house from it. I’m guessing it was NTL/Virgin? I am just slightly weary of removing it as it’s coming from underground! Thanks in advance.

Hi I am getting cushion floor fitted in the kitchen. I had lino over the top of of these old vinyl tiles previously but always noticed that there was a gap under my feet in certain areas and this is the reason why (see image). Any ideas of how I can rectify this? Would self levelling compound be...

Perfect thanks

Thanks I am using the 8mm striker that seems to be the thickest?

I had to buy a new cockspur handle for my window and also a new striker for the inside. The lever isn’t sitting snug and I was wondering if there is anything sold that I can attach to the buy pictured to make it nice and snug against the striker? Thanks in advance.

Hello. I am purchasing this to use as a desk on a wall. https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/saeljan-worktop-oak-effect-laminate-60439173/#content It will be cut down to 450mm depth as it is a very small room. I was just looking at options for mounting it and rather than using heavy duty brackets, I...

This could work. It’s actually for a desk and will be hung with brackets in my office.

Cheers. Yeah I mean by the time I buy the saw, the blade, a bench to cut it, will be £100. Might just ask a few joiners to see if they can do it as I’ll only be using the tools once

I had a funny feeling it would be a circular saw. Would this one do the job with the included blade? https://www.blackanddecker.co.uk/products/power-tools/saws/1250w-66mm-circular-saw-with-1-steel-blade/cs1250l

I need to cut this down to 45cm (they come as 63cm). I have a jigsaw and was wondering the best method to get a straight cut as I have never cut anything this length before and what kind of blade to use? Thanks in advance...

Not unsuitable for me my current desk is 450mm I have the monitor mounted on wall and been using happily for almost 3 years

Could anyone suggest the best way of bricking up this window inside and out. I am getting another window fitted in the room. Would the window need to be removed first? I will not be doing the plastering myself I will get someone in to do that.

Jesus Christ, or a hazmat suit and gas mask? Crikey, didn’t even notice that. :eek:

I am getting my uPVC doors sprayed however there are a number of holes on the frame (see image). I need to make good before spraying. Any advice on how to go about this? Some of the plastic is sticking out and needs to be flush (I assume) before filling I tried a stanley knife but that didn’t...

I had architrave fitted around the doors and need to gloss it. I will fill any holes and sand. I was just wondering if I can use this as a primer/undercoat? I have a tin of it and it would be good if I could use it. Thanks in advance...
