Hi there Looking for recommendations on non-slip vinyl / LVT for stairs? We have a toddler at home, and elderly Parents that visit often so need to be very non-slip! I've had a browse online but there are so many and you can't really tell how non-slip they will actually be so looking for...

Hi all, I need to get up onto the roof of my kitchen extension to do some repair work to a bedroom window. Any tips on how to walk on the roof without damaging the tiles? The tiles I have are sandtoft 20/20 on a pitched roof. The roof is 15 degree pitch so safe enough to walk on with not much...

Great thanks

Hi all We have Amtico LVT laid in our kitchen/diner. It's been down about a year. Can you use a steam mop on Amtico LVT that is glued down? I understand to remove damaged tiles you heat them so slightly concerned the steam mop may damage the integrity of the LVT but maybe just overworrying?

Thanks - in terms of securing with screws do you mean just the PIR or securing all the way through the plasterboard and PIR into the wall?

Hi there I live in a 1930s semi detached so no cavity wall. One of our bedrooms has an outside wall and we have noticed a lot of condensation appearing on the outside wall as we move into the colder months. We do air the room but cannot leave the window open of an evening as the room gets very...

Thanks - not fussed on the finish really, my mate just done his downstairs living room in Dulux and I can't tell the difference between ours and hbis living room and we used B&Qs own brand. Johnstones it is then as there is about 60 quid difference

Hi all, I am going to be painting our hallway and stairway walls. I've been advised to get a trade-rated durable paint. There is quite a bit of price difference between Dulux easycare or supermatt and Johnstone trade durable matt. Are they all as good as each other?

Hi all, Looking for suggestions on how to restore decking. My decking is six years old. I pressure wash it each year and apply clear oil but for the past two years I have struggled to really get rid of the seeped-in winter grime and just can't seem to shift that dull look. Are there any deep...

Hi there I am replacing some internal doors, two of the openings are not your standard size and will need approx 35mm trimmed off the top and bottom (so 70mm total). Doors I am looking to purchase are Howdens shaker style with medium/semi solid core. The manufacturers recommendation is max 12mm...

Hi there reposting this with a different heading as prior post may not have been clear on what I referred to at 'etching' Basically glassware becomes cloudy/misty after regular washing in the dishwasher. The model is a Smeg fully integrated so not a cheap brand! We have tried...

Slightly - tried rubbing lemon juice and then wiping and also soaking in white vinegar (as recommended on a website) but only slightly helped remove some of the mist. It would appear some glasses have a permanent etching/scratched appearance - the older glassware that has gone through more cycles

Hi there it's when the glasses become cloudy, like a misty film over them that can't be rinsed off. Even happens to 'dishwasher' safe glassware. Everything else is fine, cutlery nice and shiny, pans cleaned well and no cloudy residue around the machine.

Hi there - I'm looking for any advice on how to stop/limit etching to glassware caused by the dishwasher. The model is a Smeg fully integrated so not a cheap brand! We have tried increasing/decreasing the flow of rinse aid as recommended by the supplier, and we have tried altering the 'hardness'...

Hi there I am looking to replace our internal doors. The current ones are the standard 35mm thickness but they must be the cheapest doors as they feel so lightweight and the middle panel is so thin they offer very little sound insulation when doors are closed. I'm going to be shopping around...

Thanks - was there a useful tool you used to remove the old valve tails? A few of my rads are in tight spots so trying to get leverage might be tricky!

Hi all, I am thinking of replacing the old manual valves on my radiators with Drayton TRVs, however upon further inspection it would appear due to the size of the locking nuts connecting the old valve tails I'll need to remove these also and fit the tails that come with the new TRVs and the...

Hi everyone, As part of a combi boiler service should the expansion vessel be checked and drained/repressurised if required? Thanks Sean

Any suggestions on tracing the leak without having to pull the whole machine out? It's pretty tightly integrated so ideally don't want to pull it out

Hi all, Any info on how to repair/fix Smeg dishwasher Acquastop error? I have tried soaking up the water that collects in a small tray under the machine that is triggering the float to rise however every few runs it fills again triggering the error and the machine to stop. It's an integrated...
