Oh I did not realised that this was possible. only looked at B&Q - let me try to find one with black edge rather than white one and job done! :-)

Hey Expert Electricians, So have that light fitting outside that we would like to replace with sensor light as the current one is kind of useless to have it off when it can be only switch on from inside - unless it is left on all the time. Have been looking at "sensor outside light" but they...

So, managed to cut the water, and unscrew the little screw but then stuck. Unable to remove the handle completely. They Seems to be stuck. Is that then a plumber job? Don't want to break the full tap.

Hi Expert DIY people! :-) So I have a leaky tap and decided it was time to replace the cartridge which hopefully would solve the issue. So the tap that i have is very similar to this one...

have tried and it was too much faff to paint so off to screwfix tomorrow to buy a new one. However, one question, any alternative recommendation to Hammerite as metal paint? I have used it on rail for our properties, but after 2 years, it usually need to be done again, so open to better...

So something simple but sometimes not as much. We done some painting on the block of flat building and the boiler cage (similar to this: https://www.screwfix.com/p/pc28x165-flue-guard-280-x-150mm/4989g) is sightly rusty. Was thinking to buy new one but as I have some left over Hammerite black...

Hello Expert DIY, So as you can see from the pics, my previous attempts on adding some silicon to protect the joint between wall and windows are not pretty (old window) and just want to make sure that any gap are cover when it rained in the winter. I know new window would be better -but interim...

Thanks Wayners for your feedback. yes aiming for Sandtex Masonry Paint (https://www.wickes.co.uk/Sandtex-Microseal-Ultra-Smooth-Weatherproof-Masonry-15-Year-Exterior-Wall-Paint---Plymouth-Grey---10L/p/199657) Filler, I am aiming for that one...

Hi Expert DIY, In the process to freshen up our building and some part, the paint has flaked as per picture. (had a gentle jet wash on the wall and hand brush with fairy liquid to remove the greenery / black on the wall - hence breaking what was close to be broken I guess) Can I just sand it...

an additional question - is what would be the most durable? Asphalt replacement or tiling it?

Thanks Nigel, let me try to tag him and gather his feedback. @tell80 , Would it be possible to have your feedback on here please? been told you are an expert on Asphalt?

in a way under the stairs, there is a kind of cellar but open cellar - as mostly storage stuff but not dry storage as water do go through from the road and I guess the cracks from the Asphalt.

Cool cool - Many thanks ! :-)

ok cool! Thanks for the clarification. So Trade man wise what would be your recommendation - Would any builder be able to remove the original Asphalt and then apply paving?

By Slabs, you mean like paving and tiles? Sorry if that sound dumb question! Non DIY person here!
