I've seen this reply on another forum so won't reply to this one as well. Oh I just did! :D

Sorry just seen this. Thanks for your help. I'll have a go at getting all of the boards up soon.

Hi, I am not very handy at all so looking for some advice. My decking around 16 lengths of about 3m is rotting in places. Joists look ok. Firstly do I repair this by only replacing some or replace the whole lot? Managed to get one piece up near the handrail and obviously screws must goes...

All back together minus the bottom claw and more or less working. Think I must have mucked up the starting position of the cylinder as the door locks when you do the handle up but won't go again to double lock. It won't double lock as the claw at the top isnt coming out fully when you lift the...

Thanks guys. Since we have lived here I've noticed you could only take the key out when the door was locked. After moving the barrel about a small piece of metal popped out and which then allowed the key to turn and the barrell came out. I have the gear box out. What do I need to take note of...

Hi guys, uPVC french oor has been really stiff to lock so trying to find out what the gear box is to source a replacement. Also when opening the door the latch doesn't seem to retract that far compared to how far you can push it in manually. I've got everything off but the cylinder won't...

Council policy where I am is you have to build 1m from the boundary at 1st floor level. My neighbour applied and was approved to go to the boundary. I then followed and have noticed a few others as well which were all approved. Councils have their policies but it doesn't mean they stick to them.

All done and working. Cheers guys

Thanks. Will have a look in b and q. So basically just unscrew the brass housing from the silver nut and put the new one in. ? Apologies for such basic questions !

Hi guys, I need to replace the housing on my garage tap as it looks split. Is this a DIY job or do I need a plumber? Please see photos. I have the new part but am unsure on removing the silver bit from the copper pipe. Can the housing just be unscrewed from the copper pipe and silver nut...

Thank you for replying and apologies for the delay getting back to you. Yes the bulb is new and the correct type and wattage for the unit. 70w. I have another bulb so will try that. We are on 240v here. It isn't the end of the world and gives the neighbours a break while we shower haha

Thanks for your opinion on sodium lights. Have updated the title to make your post relevant :D

Hi, Just had an extension and have a new sodium floodlight in the garden. Have noticed when we run the new shower which is 10kw it makes the light cut out. Obviously these things don't just flick back on light a normal bulb as they cool down before coming back on so the shower may be causing a...

It's a forum. Double posting isn't the end of the world. Relax

My Dad has the same issue with his house. The front wall bricks are saturated and eventually water drips down the cavity above the porch and through. He painted on a masonry sealant that essentially water proofs the brick to stop rain from penetrating. Worked a treat. Prob have to wait til...

Hi guys, A small scratch has appeared on our new induction hob. Has anyone ever managed to remove these? Metal polish maybe? Any help appreciated. Thanks

Will do. How does that part differ from the rest of the rail. As in has it some kind of seal already?

Thanks. I think I know what you mean. Is it worth me leaving it to whoever is going to vanish it?

Hi guys, Happy new year. Have got a new oak handrail. It hasn't been vanished yet as waiting to get the landing etc decorated first. I've noticed a small nick out of the wood. Attached photos. Its only about 1mm deep. What the best way to deal with it? Sand it or fill it? Or leave it...

All sorted
