Thanks kevplumb . Does that just require me to cut a section of the waste pipe out(which is running horizontal to the floor ) to suit the length of the trap and join each end of waste pipe to each end of the trap ??? Also where do I get such a trap ?? I did look on Screwfix site but did...

Well according to the Letting Agents I have a quote on the way to rid my property of the bugs . Apparently they are Common Furniture Beetles . Has anybody had any dealings with these little Critters and how bad are they . I believe the quote is £165 to treat bathroom ceiling and to do...

I am concerned about the whole situation ,which is why I am asking .I asked the letting agent to get someone up there asap when they informed me 2 days ago . This may well be getting looked at as we speak .I just wanted any info to pre warn me of the worst that it could be . Thanks for the...

Do not use a Decking Stain . I did and had to keep repainting it each year . I was advised on here to use Decking Oil which soaks in and protects rather than sitting on top like stain does which then peels after the weather has got to it .!! I scraped the stain off mine and have now...

Old crappy stain removed as much as possible and recoated with OIL . Looks good ,so thanks fellas . New decking ,when done will be covered in OIL from the start so no more stain for me .!! Regards Rob .

Yep can confirm Decking Oil is the way to go . Did mine with Stain when new about three yrs ago .It keeps peeling and looks crap .Just scraped off most of the stain stuff,which was loose and then used Oil on it .It looks better now and will only need going over quickly each year to keep it...

Just a thought ,how about a wheel under each gate to take some of the weight and put less stress on the pillar . I am sure I have seen this done before .

OK Thanks Thermo . Regards Rob.

Any particular brand better than others ?. I think I saw ronseal deck oil ,but I dont want to put that on if its as crap as the stain,which I presumed was fit for purpose .!!

Ooops ,it does say stain on the tin .!! :roll: What should I be using ? I have bought a fresh tin ,of the same product but I can take it back and swap it if I know what to swap it for . Any advice gratefully received . Many Thanks Regards Rob.
