Thanks a lot guys, turns out I panicked as carpet was easily removed once I pulled the first corner properly

Yes hessian backed carper, laid on underlay and grippers. I don't think carpet and foam underlay were glued together but have not lifted the carpet yet, was planning to do it tomorrow. I am pretty sure fitters used grippers originally (must have as they used them on the staircase which I had to...

Thanks Doggit, this is not going to be an issue as total area to be covered by the carpet will be less in both length and width. So I understand it is a normal practice to use spray glue? Is it better to use spray or tape when laying it back? not a feltback, it's a carpet with standard...

Hi All, I am going to do some work in the bedroom which requires lifting and re-fitting carpet and underlay. It was laid 2-3 years ago. I tried to lift carpet edge from the skirting but it seems that it's like glued to the floor so I now thinking if I need to use carpet adhesive on edges or...

thanks foxhole, I read loads of your posts related to fitted wardrobe, saw the pics too - yours looks very professional. MDF is kind of plan B option as I will have to finish it or order cut to size laminated MDF which will be expensive. Is 18mm MFC an option (laminated chipboard) for the...

Have read many posts on fitted wardrobes on this forum and have a general idea what to do and how, but i still have some questions which I don't think been covered here unless I missed them. Hoping to get some advice / clarification from you guys. Wardrobe will go on the wall with chimney...

as I suspected, it just needed water top up to overhead reservoir:cautious:

Thanks very much oldbuffer and Old&bold. these replacement options looked a bit strange to me too as there is no access to outside wall nor any drain outlet near the cupboard where pulsacoil is located - it is almost in the centre of the building. Will check water level in the overhead...

We have a flat with Pulsacoil III used as a hot water source. There is no gas in the property, only electricity. Pulsacoil is about 15 years old, from new built. Tenant new tenant moved in and reported there was no hot water, plumbers called in by the agency and advised that that the pump to be...

Hi jpjeffery, I have the same issue, fixed first 7 steps from underneath and need to fix the rest. If your stairs are carpeted this may help. This is wood adhesive I used to fill in all gaps from underneath, it expands when cures, filling in the voids.

Thanks again, this video is good

Thank you SKF, I used similar carpet protector from Toolstation - it's very good indeed, but new paint has to go under the carpet line otherwise it will look ugly. Thanks for the input everyone

ok, thanks guys, so you mean that I don;t need a staple gun at all?

Yes grippers fitted indeed. Carpet was fitted about 1.5 years back.

Hi all, I need to remove carpet from stairs to re-decorate and fit it back after all done. Is it ok to use manual staple gun, something like this or this ? Stairs are softwood Thanks

I used Scotts autumn feed in September - by now most of yellow patches disappeared and growth improved, however because i used spreader for the first time I applied less fertiliser than recommended on the box and still have two patches which are still yellowish and grow slowly comparing to the...

Awesome, thanks!

thanks r896neo, could please recommend something decent, is this one any good - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B016QKAOLW/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&me= does it require special spreader or it could be done by hand?

same happened to my newly laid lawn after cutting wet and cutting short (more than 1/3) but I believe it is recovering now, just water it from time to time and don't cut short. Since I ruined mine I have been cutting it on a high setting only for about 6 weeks or so. maybe pro's here can...

Thank you Foxhole. Yes indeed there plenty of 2 feet deep but these are either not tall or wide enough. it ha to be at least 1.5m wide and 1.7 tall. So far the only one which suits the purpose is this one I mentioned above, hence the question
