Thanks got you! So the 2nd option of dividing them up over the entire wall of hall, stairs, landing, and having sections that change in direction, like below, is that an incorrect way to do this? I’ve also seen it like this? Sorry for all the questions. Just want to get it correct.

Thanks, so even though I have 100mm spacing everywhere else, and between the panels going up the stairs, when it gets to the landing I should double it to 200mm?

Anyone point me in the right direction?

Hi, I am looking for advice on laying out my wainscotting panneling. I’ve measured my staircase section on its own, divided it up like this, doing the hallway and landing in seperate sections to. Then when I add on my landing section (just the size to fit that wall with 100mm spacing as...

Thanks. That’s the type of lance I used already. So sodium hypochlorite is a no go?

I’ve previously jet washed the coping stones (sandstone?) at the front of my house. Unfortunately they haven’t really cleaned as well as I’d of hoped. I used household bleach, scrubbed them and then jet washed them. The black marks just won’t budge. Any tips of anything else I could use / try?

I have moved my kitchen sink from the other side of my back door. My sink previously drained to a soil stack directly on the outside of the wall. Now I've moved it, there is noway to run a waste pipe without passing the door. Would I be ok to bury a 40mm waste pipe for 3m? Or do I have to...

Hi, I’m looking to remove the paint from my lintels and sills and return them back to bare sandstone. I’ve had quotes for sandblasting but it’s outside of my budget :( Is there a DIY way to do this?

Hi all, I have a 1895 built terrace. On the internal wall between the living room and dining room (highlighted yellow), I have damp, cold, almost wet feeling patch along the middle of the wall, around 4ft up, just above the dado rail - I have tried drying it out and no luck, the other...

Thanks everyone, swapped the double for another switch and it works fine. Wish id of tried that sooner!

Yes I do

Sorry some are doubles, and the other half is for a different light so didn’t want to confuse things? I can post it unedited

I’ve recently moved in my house and changed 3 switches. They all control the same landing light, 2 switches on the landing and 1 in the hall. Since installing the new switches, I have to turn them on by the switch in the hall, and then I can turn the light on and off from the 2 landing...

Hi, I’m looking to paint the marble / marble effect parts of my fireplace / hearth. What would be the best type of paint / prep. Looking it paint it black. Thanks,

Thanks, both look good to me. Does anyone know is it possible to have both handles function and not have to use a dead bolt on one of them? Just as it will be the main entry I use to my house.

Ok, didn’t realise that was possible. Do you know anywhere that supply’s them over 1m? Cheers

He said he can but wouldn’t recommend them that narrow, as it will be a lot of frame and means both will need to be open to get in and out?

I have a typical Victorian terrace, lay out as below - I'm hoping to remove my kitchen door and brick it up, to gain space back in my kitchen for units. The problem I have is my car parking is at the rear and I access the house this way 90% of the time. I was hoping to fit french doors in the...

Would a 100x65 concrete suffice or should I be putting in a 150x100?
