Just taken delivery of some V4 Engineered wood. This is 189 MM X 21 MM X 1830 MM with a 6mm top layer. We searched for AGES to get the wood we wanted and this really looks lovely stuff. Being 21mm thick too it oozes quality. However I split a couple of the packs (just to check) and...

Thanks for all the info, a great help. Another quick question. Does anyone know where I can buy Liquid DPC online for postal delivery?

I am doing a garage conversion on my 60 house. The garage is actually part of the house, typically useless size so made sense to convert it into a useful area (toilet, utility area and comfy room.) Problem is, the floor slopes away to the front of the house. I intend to lay ceramic tiles in...

JohnD I have! Exhausted all my friends recommendations. Now my neighbour says he's part-P registered and has all the kit but he really is a last resort as if something goes wrong I have to live next door to him.

On and off for the last 5 months I've been trying to get a sparky in to do some work for me and I'm finding it impossible to get one. I must have called six different people who for one reason or another never seem to get around to coming out to see me - its driving me mad. Here is the...

The gaps is about 30mm. I had thought of another idea - remove some render off the wall below the ceiling and then fix plasterboard strips to the wall such that it comes up to the ceiling line. Any thoughts? Thanks for the replies guys/gals.

Can anyone give me some advice on what to do with my ceiling? I've taken down a ceiling from my hallway and put plasterboard up (with down lighters uggh!). The plasterboard has been screwed directly to the joists as height is an issue - it has gone on fairly flat. However, the joists have...

Thanks for the reply. I booked a service; I could smell fuel when the boiler was on. The engineer spent a good while looking at it and said it was probably best to install a new one rather that patch the old one up. He had nothing to gain really as he doesn’t do installs and didn't offer a...

Having been told that my old WallFlame type oil boiler was likely to catch fire I've decided to get a new boiler installed. I guess 25 years service isn't too bad? The boiler is actually located inside the garage in a sectioned off partition that is only accessible from the outside of the...
