Thank you as always. The building control said all doors needed to be replaced onto stair enclosures. She said they needed 3 steel hinges and strips. I didn't want them but she said it's a must. This is for a loft conversion

Hi my builder is fitting firedoors and has given me a choice. He said he could fit intumescent strips into a router gap on the doors or attach strips to frame. I'm getting oak composite firedoors Im not sure which to choose.

Diy-kitchens are brilliant. Quality and really good price. I visited the show room up north to be sure. I saved over 5000

The carpet gripper. Threshold gripper.

I've got nice 35mm oak doors but part of planning says i need to replace them with fire Doors. It's a shame but has to be done. The new doors will be 44mm and the door jams are replaced. Will this leave a gap on the gripper? Do they also need replacing?

My mum has mahogany upcv windows and was going to replace them all. However she asked me about getting a company in to paint them white. I see some companies on line who spray them. Has anyone ever had it done? Any thoughts or recommendations please?

Hi I've got a hikvision nvr and 3 cameras . I'm looking to buy a really small poe camera for the front door. Something that is a similar quality to ring. The smaller the better as i just want to cover front door. Does any one have any recommendations ? Thanks

I had a problem with this alarm. It turned out one of them had been hard wired instead of being wireless. Electrician didn't realise. Might be worth checking other alarms to see if they have more wires

I had loft conversion and the bc plans had a 3 layer felt. However the builder put a grp fibre one down. It looks great and will last a long time. However in heavy rain its a noisy. Is it easy to felt it now or put a epdm on top? Just trying to reduce noise.

I opted for interlinked smoke alarms in everyroom. I thought it gave good piece of mind as kids room get protection. I'm not a pro but that looks shoddy

Thank you all. I will attempt the cut to start with and hopefully it will be enough

Thank you very much that is good advice!

Will a double layer of plasterboard take a plasterboard backbox? Being double thickness i would think it could struggle to grip. Any views?

You might not want to lose a sale. However a buyer has more to lose at this stage. They will either ignore it or tell them they can pay.

haha I did think that when I wrote it. House is fine :)

My house had a rear extension when I bought it. It was built around 1990. My solicitor tried to insist that the sellers show me the building certificate. They told him to poke it (PD). I still bought the house and then knocked it down in a few years later.

ring your planning office and ask them. I don't know. I had one done on a semi with a dormer and I could do it under PD. I went full plans as I was close to 50cm.

You get what you pay for. My dad bought the cheap swann stuff. It failed 18 months later and no warranty. He then had to buy another... Spend the money on Hikvision it is simply amazing for home cctv

I'm about to build a small partition against my wall. I've seen the video using metal u track on header and footer then inserting c sections. As im not plaster boarding both sides. As such would the the c sections need to be screwed in the u track? The videos I've seen show them using the...
