I'm about to buy a new radiator, I have the size I need but are radiator attachments all the same? I mean, do all radiators function the same, or do they vary which means I may need a different type of radiator for my heating system, or can I just pick up any from the shelf? I have a combi...

I am about to move a radiator. I've got the 15mm copper pipe and the 'push fit' elbow/straight attachments, it's how I attach the pipe to the radiator ends thats puzzling me. I'll use the thermastatic valve again and I'm looking at it now. The copper pipe goes up into the valve and is...

Excellent - thank you.

Great advice - thank you. I will check the prices of the 'bits' before I go ahead.

Of course :D I will cut along the side of the joist and then attach another joist as you say. So simple when you know how - just couldn't get my brain around that one. Thank you very much - excellent.

I need to cut a channel down the edge of a fire door to fit seals. I have never used a router and I am thinking of hiring one - I am pretty good with small carpentry jobs (I can hang a door), however, is fitting these strips easy, or one for the professionls? Many thanks.

I need to get under the floor boards in an upstairs bedroom, thing is they're not floorboards but large sheets of chipboard that have been nailed down. The sheets are huge and I only want to remove a channel about 300mm. Which means I need to cut the chipboard along the line of the floor...

Thanks very much for your help chaps.

The patch ended up about a foot square. Where can I buy easifill from? Thanks.

I've had to remove a small amount of wallpaper from the ceiling in our bedroom. As I pulled it off some plaster came with it. In the past our bedroom must have been artexed and someone has come along and skimmed over it to give it a nice smooth finish. As it's just a small amount I can skim...

I've been out this afternoon and got some - many thanks.

I am about to build a stud wall, the wall will have a 90 degree corner. So I will have a peice of plasterboard screwed to a vertical batten, with another peice of plasterboard screwed to the batten to make the corner. This will make the corner untidy and and weak. If the wall was...

Our house is semi-detached and the planners say the change would un-balance the symetry of the two houses. I will keep going back to them and see if I can come up with a design that will satisfy them. Thanks for your help.

Thanks Deepy - looks good.

Thanks Regsmyth - yes there's lots for me to think about. The Council won't let me change the doors, so I was going to convert it anyway as I need the space. I will keep going back to the Council and see if we can come to an agreement. If I have to, I could have a huge window made that...

I have been ready to convert my garage to another bedroom (take the doors off and install a new window) but I found out this week that the planners won't let me 'cos I live in a conversation area - and they don't like it. So I am going to leave the garage door as it is and convert the garage...
