Thank you. I did use wood preserve that the previous owners of our house left behind. I got some Cuprinol decking paint from B&M in a deal and applied that on top. We are really pleased with the finish.

Thanks for the reply. I have treated the decking with some wood preserve this afternoon but the newer planks are obviously a different colour to the older wood. I will get some decking paint as you suggest. Thank you.

Hello As the title suggests, should I use fence panel paint on decking? Thanks in advance

After some investigation, the cable from my roof aerial comes into the loft where it splits into two to supply the lounge downstairs and the master bedroom. I placed the source cable into my amplifier and now have nearly 100% for both quality and level to both TVs with clear and great picture...

We are on the Allesley Park, Coventry transmitter as we live in Nuneaton. Our downstairs TV which runs off the same roof aerial is fine. After sending my original message last night, I did a first time installation and the BBC channels are all fine and have 90% plus for signal quality and...

Hello My upstairs TV gives me a 10% signal strength but its quality is 90% with a USB booster fitted. Although I can find over 100 channels most of them break up when I try to watch them. How can I sort this out please? Thank you

We are thinking of having an extension built of 8 by 2 metres to increase the size of the kitchen, utility and dining rooms. Any sort of idea what the building work alone will cost please? Thank you in advance

Thank you for your help. We are moving into a 4 bed detached later this month and we are probably going to be doing some building work. The obvious one is a garage conversion which we have done before and is quite straightforward. We are also toying with the idea of a side extension, kitchen...

Thanks for the super fast response. What’s the approximate cost for a 4 by 3 metre conversion? Thanks again TT

How easy or straightforward is it to convert a conservatory to a proper brick built extension? Thanks in advance TT

We are thinking of a kitchen extension to jazz up our existing kitchen which is 3 by 3 metres and a bit small. The utility room is next to the kitchen so we were thinking of a 5 by 2 metre extension. what would be the approximate cost ? thank you

Okay - Full system install with combi boiler . The house currently has a warm air heating system so we would be starting from scratch. I will call a gas engineer. Thank you.

We are considering buying a house that will need a new system fitting. It is a 4 bed 2 storey house with hallway, downstairs WC, kitchen and large lounge diner with 4 bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. Could anyone indicate what sort of budget cost this would be please ? Thanks in advance, Phil

Thanks for the reply. The trip didn’t go on the circuit breaker and the old element looks okay.

Hello I have just tried replacing the element and I only have one wire with its spade terminal. The other one has disappeared into the back of the oven. However the old element does look like this so I am wondering what has happened. Any ideas ? thanks in advance Phil

Thank you both. House prices rose about 2% in 2020 or £4K in terms of our home. Moving would probably cost 8k when the stamp duty holiday expires. Mmm.

I have been quoted £25k to convert my loft into one good sized bedroom with Velux windows and a staircase. My problem is that my house is at the top of its price for the area that we live in. Should I go forward with the project ? Any advice would be more than welcome. Thank you in advance...

Thank you. I will contact a couple of local door companies.
