Thanks. So for the drainage gap, I can just put down the bedding mortar beside it, leave about ten cm along the wall with mot type 1 as its base, and below that will be the old shed base, and just fill it up with gravel? No weird guttering or membranes I need to put in? Thanks

Hi, I'm putting in a patio at the end of the garden. It is against a tall, rendered garden wall on two sides, and fence panels on the third side. The patio will be on top of an old shed base, which will have hardcore on top of it to bring it up to level height, and then concrete then porcelain...

It is a very low wall BTW, if that changes anything? Two layers of bricks

OK thanks, so I just need the lightest colour building sand I can find

So I can use any kind of sand in mortar?

Hi, looking for white sand, sometimes called silver sand, to make a very light mortar. I've ordered bags of silver Sand that look white in the pics, then they deliver briwn/yellow normal sand! Anyone know what I can use? I'm using lime, cement and this evasive sand. Thanks

Many thanks. That's one of the pictures I failed to understand! So for my 28mm doors I need a central forstner drill point of 34? (because that gets an overlay of 28mm?).

Additional, I think it's lead flashing around chimney behind there as well as roof tile.

Hi, our back room is single storey, freezing. I went into loft space above and saw a patch with none of that plasticy membrane material or insulation, it's straight onto roof tiles, very cold. What can I use to patch this up? Thanks, pic below.

Is this a 3 way choc block?

Yes I have, it won't budge.

Hi, replacing an old bathroom extractor fan, the wires are too short to fit into the connectors. How do I extend these safely please? Pic attached, thanks

Thanks all. Very frustrating, thought it would be a simple product to source!

Neither of those match I'm afraid - those are beaded, with a little bump down the middle.

I don't have one and don't have the cash! Surely these panels were purchased as they are? It's weird I cannot find these in right size. I thought I was just searching for the wrong name! thanks

Thanks - The strips are cut-outs, V Grooves, not something I can add on.

Hi, I'm replacing a cupboard door - what is this material called please? ? I can't find it anywhere - it's V- Groove MDF panelling, I'm guessing, c. 18/19mm thick. Nothing online seems to match! Any idea where I can order it? Sheet is c.510mm by 1810mm thanks!
