I’m planning on getting my attic converted into a games room. I’m planning on doing it in stages and will be getting building control involved to make sure it’s all meeting requirements.

Hi. I’m looking to paint some wooden wall panelling (using Leyland trade MDF primer first) and was looking at the Valspar Premium v700 wood paint. Has anyone used this? Some of the reviews are a bit hit and miss but looking at the pictures they left it may be bad prep work...

I’m upgrading my cupboard doors and they are in Ivory. Was just wondering if there is a name for these 3 bits of wood? Don’t really want to use an end panel as they are £38 each and would need 3 of them. thanks in advance

Hi. Could anyone tell me what kind of handle I need? The one on the UPVC window came off. I have attached images of the one that’s still on and the bottom one that came off. Thanks in advance m.

Hello . Hopefully this will make sense, so bare with me! I am planning to install 12 lights on my stairs. Unfortunately the driver for them only has 6 connections so I will need 2 drivers meaning 2 wall sockets. I was planning to get a smart plug from IKEA and use their motion sensor, one for...

I got some MDF boards cut and installed them in my kitchen. I used an MDF primer and painted them. I’m really happy with how they look however, I made a huge mistake in not painting the wall first and in certain lights, you can see between the very small gaps (the paint behind it was a light...

Hi. I have built some MDF shelves in an alcove and would like to fit some recessed lighting beneath each.

Hi. I’m wanting to fit 2 under cabinet lights beneath my cupboards. Problem is there are no available sockets unless I run a cable (I know you can use trunking but IMO it looks a bit naff). Ideally I’d like to run it above the cabinets and out of sight. The only power source is from an extractor...
