Could do with advice on how to get the 4 walls of my lounge plastered. I'm not doing the work myself, but wanna know what to ask for, and don't want talking into something unnecessary. I want the finish to look smooth & crisp. Annoyingly, each wall is a 'special case' - nothing's simple! The...

I too am looking at reducing the amount of neighbour noise I can hear, in my tiny victorian house where space is at a premium. Angrysmurf - what solution did you go with in the end and did it work? I'm currently bamboozled by the options. Has anyone else got any product experiences to...

Thanks for advice muggles. I know you say there's nothing wrong with the location, but I really need that dry area/trench right under where it currently sits, so I think my only option is to get it wall mounted. In reality I suppose it's the fault of whoever paved right up to the external...

Right, I've taken a couple of photos of the box/meter. Got a couple more questions. 1. I noticed the meter is connected to both the mains and my house via two bendy pipes. If I get a Gassafe guy to take the meter off, when they put it back could it be moved back (away from the wall) a good...

Ah yes, went out to check tonight and it is indeed slightly below the slabs (they're cut around the meter but fit under the walls of the box). I noticed all my neighbours meters are wall mounted (same sort of location, just on the wall). Would a Gassafe engineer be qualified to move the...

My gas meter's outside on the ground, surrounded by a brown plastic box. I need to replace the slabs it's sitting on, and dig down about 6" near it (to solve a damp problem) but the meter's kind of in the way to get to where the digging work needs to be (all bunched up in a corner by the...

Thanks for the replies... yes, I wonder myself if a £100rrp seat should break. Although it's 5 years old, I live by myself, am light as a fevva, and generally cut rope on work's time. So it's not like it's received even average wear and tear. Sadly though, me and my mates were a little...

I've got a plastic toilet seat that has snapped near the hinge. It's £65 - £100 to replace as it's for a particular model/design of WC. Is there a glue that would bond the plastic back together? The snap itself covers quite a large area (at least 2-3cm) and is rough/jagged, so more chance of...

Ahh gotcha... about 4 meters, max. More like 3.5m I'd say.

Not sure what supporting span means? If you mean distance between each joist it's about 30cm. There's boards up there now, just not nailed down.

Yeah, I did consider raising, but the existing joists are only 6cm deep, I really didn't think putting that much weight on them's a good idea. Was worried about the condensation problem. Could it happen with space blanket type material? From all I've read it seems to be more pertinant to...

I'm getting my loft boarded out in anticipation of some light storage. The joists are only 60mm deep (cheap victorian terraced workers' cottage). Of the thin (60mm) space blanket type insulation that was already there, a section got taken up in one corner 5 years ago when I wanted to put...

I've got hold of an ex-display tap which is missing its lever, but I can't find a replacement that fits. Does anyone know what brand of tap uses this type of lever? I looked in B&Q and Homebase but all the levers there screwed into the tap - mine looks like a larger lever fits over the tiny...
