I'm not a tiler but when I did 600x600 porcelain tiles in my bathroom and kitchen I bought myself a Rubi TS60 manual cutter for straight cuts and used my small angle grinder for anything else. Obviously need a diamond blade for the grinder.

Thanks for responding vinn. Unfortunately I've done up the bedroom above and insulated internally in there so am leaving that alone. There's no hearth up there so just this small flue part of the stack. It's not very big and corbelling is probably holding it but I just think it should be...

Morning all, Bought my house a few years ago and have been doing it up bit by bit. Now on to the dining room and have come across a problem. Have ripped the old plasterboard down on the ceiling as it was in poor condition and have noticed that part of the old stack doesn't appear to be...

I used this website... http://www.ukflooringdirect.co.uk/laminate-flooring/species/Oak I bought a laminate that was AC4 rating and it still looks good after three years. Got it in my hall, dining room and kid's playroom. Just to add, I've got 3 kids, 2 Labradors and 3 cats... so it get's...

Hello mate, I'm no professional but I have been doing my own house for the last couple of years room by room. I had the same issue with one of the rooms in my house, took the paper off and the paint came off in patches. The sad news is that I'd say you have to remove the worst of it with a...

Hi Andrew, I'm also looking to find out how to strip a sealer. Had a patio done and the sealer was put on too early and now has gone from black to grey because of trapped water. From my understanding it's a case of putting a chemical on and letting it break the sealer down a bit, then jetting...

Hi, I've got a black version down in my kitchen. They look very nice. The cons are that yes, you need to clean them quite a bit to keep them shiny and new looking. If you mop them you don't always get the shine as you end up with marks. I've been on hands and knees after mopping to wipe the...

One other thing, just make sure that the water can drain away from the posts and that water doesn't pool around them.

I had a similar problem in my old house when I built a deck. I had a massive concrete 'patio', if you could call it that. My original plan was to break it all up and then use the 4x4 route postcreted in to the ground. The ones furthest from the house were fine as there was just grass so...

Hi, I'm not sure about that brand but I did lay some from B&poo from their Colours range. Charcoal coloured vinyl planks. We were just tarting the bathroom up and needed something cheap until we can afford to completely redo and tile. They went down really easy and look pretty good...

Don't attempt to use the all in one mix. I've always used BAL products as everyone always recommends them and i've never had any problems. Pricey, but definitely worth it. I bought some ready mixed stuff to do my utility room to tart it up. It was fine as adhesive but by the time you use...

Was only a light hearted bit of humour of my mishap at the weekend. I'm aware that pipes can be under the floor boards. I wasn't expecting there to be a pipe right against the underside of the floor board though. The reason I was hammering nails there was because I was securing the...

haha, very good. Yes, why are they so close.

Afternoon all, My debacle from the weekend...... Sunday the wife asks me to lay some new lino type flooring in the bathroom as she wants to tart the room up a bit while we haven't got the money to do a complete changeover. 2-3 hour job I thinks and crack on with pulling up the old...

Hi, I'm not sure if you can now, as you say you've broken the plaster board, but in this situation (as the gap is only 10mm between plasterboard and brick) I normally drill through the plasterboard and into the brick with a masonary bit. The insert the rawlplug, which will then be held by...

No probs, good luck!
