The inner glass on the oven door has come away from the metal frame at the bottom. It is still intact at the top. Is there any sort of heat resistant adhesive which I could use to bond the glass back on again? If there is, where can I buy it from. Cheers. Mr M

I recently had some pvc windows and a back door fitted. The Installer sealed the windows with white silicone but sealed the back door with clear silicone. I have since painted the brickwork with masonry paint but this has not adhered to the areas where the silicone is. Does anyone have any tips...

What type of wall is it - Cavity or solid construction? Have you drilled the recommended depth into the brick with the correct sized drill bit? Did you drill both sides ie externally and Internally? Do you have a minimum of 150mm from the outside floor finish to the horizontal joints which...

I would maybe put an angled mortar fillet between the edge of the window frame and the leading edge of the concrete and let this go off. Then get some angled (135 degree) pvc strip and bond one face to the face of the mortar with silicone and let the other face run down the face of the concrete...

Hi Lucas, I think you should probably have pointed the holes using sand and cement right after you put the Dryzone in to 'trap' it in the drilled hole. Did the Dryzone not run out of the holes after you gunned it in? Has your damp problem now gone? You might want to gun a bit more in just to...

What is the correct way to fit mitred pvc tile beads around the external corners of a window reveal? Does the flat section go against the reveal or on the face of the main wall abutting the reveal? Would you tile the reveal first or the main wall? Do you fix all four beads in place and...

Existing Bathroom has a mixture of wall tiling around the bath, shower (over the bath) and basin and wallpaper to the remaining walls. The ceiling is artexed and painted. Wall Tiling. The wall tiling is old fashioned but none of the tiles are damaged, so I would like to paint the tiles...

Thanks for the response Jasonb. I'll order some samples tomorrow

Thanks Noseall, I'll shift it to there then :oops:

Why doesn't everyone just use either foundation blocks or Engineering brick below DPC. It would save a lot of confusion :wink:

I am trying to source a black or quite near to black, post formed worktop for a large reception desk in a main entrance foyer. The desk will be L-shpaed with the longest leg being around 7metres long and the shorter leg being 2.2 metres long. To keep the desks scale, the top needs to be around...

You can buy a concrete common where I come from :? but I don't know if you can use them below damp :? :?

When drawing elevations, I find it helpful to take some photographs of each elevation and print these out on say A4 size. You can then have this in front of you for reference, when you are doing your drawing :wink: The reference to the strip footing concerns the actual foundation that your...

The drive currently consists of two specific areas, divided down the middle. One half is grassed, the other half I think, is just a top coat of tarmac, laid on paving flags which was completed by the previous owners before we moved in. I haven't started the job yet so I haven't dug out for...

Probably not in a turn of the century terrace but you can check, provided the brickwork externally has not been rendered. Look at the brick coursings, if in every six or eight courses of stretchers, there is a couse of headers and this is repeated up the face of the wall then the brickwork is of...

Once you start cutting-out and removing the existing brickwork to get the new lintel in, you will invariably loosen some of the brickwork directly above the opening which you are increasing the size of. If you were to mark a triangle from 45 degrees upwards from the two extremes of the openings...

Thanks for the response Why, is that going to be a bit too deep. What's recommended for a standard driveway for cars parking on it. I don't want to run the risk of it sinking, particularly at the entrance to the driveway where the gates will be located, from cars driving over the same area...

Am I in the wrong section here guys :roll:
