Didnt think about pvc cladding! The Shiplap Cladding doesnt look too bad and easy enough to install.

Morning. I am about to have a go at re-panelling our garage door. As you can see in the picture, the panelling and sheet of wood behind are rotten at the bottom and arent really in much of a decent condition all round. The stud work behind looks fine though. My idea is to pull all the old...

Thanks for the reply! One of the main reasons I wanted to relocate the bathroom was because I didn't want the soil stack at the front of the house, but maybe it could be routed into the garage without going external? Regarding setting the extension back, a few houses already have done what we...

Hi, I have been planning the layout of extending our 3 bed detached to 5 and adding an en-suite for a while now, but wanted to gauge peoples thoughts and ideas! We haven't committed to appointing and architect yet so we are in the early stages of thinking what we want where. I have attached...

Thanks for that detailed response! :-) If I can get away without moving the hinges forward it will be much easier as I wont have to bring the door stops forward either. thanks, Dave

Morning, We have just had one of our rooms boarded and plastered, however now the boards sit proud of the original door liner. Whats the best way to tackle this issue? I have been told to get some wood to bring the liner out so that it would meet the architrave (when fitted), however where...

ah ok thanks for that. Yes, I can't be sure about the joists, they probably do stop before the wall but haven't got the floorboards up yet to check! I was thinking that investing in decent underlay might be the best / easiest option!

Yes there was! Thanks Daniel. Was a couple of plastic covers that popped out to reveal allen head!

Hi guys, Could any one give me any advice on how to remove this tap (picture attached)? I thought the screw should have a nut on the end? Or hasn't it been put in correctly in the first place? thanks, Dave

That's what I was thinking...thanks Alan.

would flashing tape be a bodge?! :lol:

thanks for the comment on the cake stand by the way! Not my choice! :)

thanks for that! Wow didn't think it was going to be that much, but it def needs replacing! We are also thinking of putting in new windows at a later date, i'm assuming it wouldn't be a problem to get the roof done and then the windows replaced? thanks! Dave

Hi guys, I would like some opinions of what to do with our roof! It’s currently leaking through into the kitchen and was wondering if the whole thing should be replaced? (I think the answer is going to be a replacement rather than a repair!) If I was to replace it, what options do I...
