Thank for the reply, yes looking to buy a mirror and then a separate pad. Thanks for the tips and confidence that they work ok.

I've run a lighting cable down the wall in the plaster and now looking at a heated mirror. Has anyone got advice on which one to go with. Buy a complete package, or buy a separate heated pad and mirror? Thanks

Thanks for the replies. Another question to add on here rather than repeating a new thread. We want to extend the porch base to fit a buggy in. The porch design will be wooden, glass sides, 1 door and slate roof. Extending the base, we thought either sideways or forwards, my thoughts are...

We have a lovely porch https://flic.kr/p/xQEK1Z That is 3.4mtr in total height. Annoyingly with 450 cm of concrete steps and base. We want to repair it as ugly and rotten, so ripping it down and rebuilding in a similar style but with a slate roof rather than glass. It is fine for all regs...

Thanks for all the replies. The job was a DIY one, so can't sack myself. I used foam glazing tape on either side of the panes. Wood beads. Then a thin bead of silicon where the wood bead meets the glass to stop any moisture getting in. But no draining holes at the bottom. Should I be taking...

What would you advise? Paint the bead white and a small bit onto the glass Or Paint the bead white and then a small bit of silicon on the join where the bead meets the glass ?

I've had my windows re glazed. The guys from the glass company said dry fit the panes and wood beading, as silicon can slowly rot the rubber between the glass. However the said a thin bead of silicon where the wood beading meets the glass helps seal against the rain. Now today a painter has...

I understand the rotting part. However in the photo the damp is the corners and edges where the walls reach the floor. I'd lay the wood flooring, so that would block any airflow. As it isn't water seeing through, just a small bit of damp, the only ideas I have had are 1) Sealing in the...

how would you make it disappear? I can grind out the filler I put in, but when I looked on the shelves, that was the nearest colour match I could find

If I want to lay a floor (i've been given some cheap wood flooring) though what would I do with the damp bits in the corners and edges? Is scrubbing off the paint and using that slurry stuff the right idea? Thanks

Hi yes there is a coal chute to the right of the photo with a small metal door with holes. There are some air bricks at the back of the house in the crawlspace. With a small crawl hole between the two. Is this sufficient. We'rthinking of plumbing in a radiator if that helps. I've never...

Hi I've read various posts here regarding different ways to waterproof a cellar. Asyou can see from mine, it's is pretty dry, with a bit of damp at the edges. Neverenough to worry about, basically a sweaty armpit after a 26 mile run. Athe moment it has a washing machine tools etc...

Ok another wood and paint question. How do you get a smooth finish when the wood is pitted and old. In the house I would use fine filler. The Ronseal Exterior filler seems like it is too thick for these small mm indentations. Or do I just keep sanding those areas until completely smooth even...

Thanks for the replies. Here's where I got to, u sanded, filled using ronseal, then applied some ronseal natural oak. In the centre you can see a small spot of filler, it's not blending in, however not exactly sticking out like a sore thumb. Here you can see the large amount of...
