Thanks Big-all, sounds good to me. I've got fencemate duraposts so it should be fairly easy to take a gravel board out at the bottom if any problems, they are the wickes 5 for 20 quid ones so I'm not too fussed if theres a small risk that 4 of them get destroyed having to reduce the height. Cheers

Hi Big-all, it was neglected for many years, remnants of 6 foot concrete fence posts, 1 foot concrete gravel boards, some cheapo fence panels covered in roof felt and lots of brambles and other junk dumped in a couple of foot of no mans land between the bottom of my and neighbours backig onto...

Hi Guys, I'm after a bit more advice on this please. I've cut come channels in the concrete but its not had the desired result. The water is not flowing into the gully but still standing nearer the gully, I think I'd have to really butcher it to get it flowing and its starting to look a mess...

Well theres years of me thinking 2 metres = 7 foot exactly shattered. I've joined 2X 6 inch wooden gravel boards to make 1 foot ones, fairly easily rectified but I'll have a few left over now. Thanks for stopping me falling foul of planning, out of interest whats the worst that happens if you...

Its a 6 foot double palisade (I think its called, the ones with the planks of wood at alternative positions either side so ypu can't see through it but the wind passes through) with a 1 foot gravel board so 7 foot total. Its 4 panels at the bottom of the garden, houses behind it are set a...

Hi Wayners, thank you that sounds good to me, I like belt and braces. Will get to Toolstation for an extra long bit.

Hi all, Just after some advice please if I'm worrying about nothing or not, have got some 3 metre metal fence posts and started digging the holes for them, I can only get the first one 65cm deep as there seems to be concrete/stone at the bottom that I can't get past with posthole diggers...

I used some of this stuff recently https://www.coo-var.co.uk/products/floor-sport-and-line-marking/antislip-acrylic-floorpaint-grey-2.5l-new-product- Its not got a great deal of choice for colour (8 of them) and I can't speak for its longevity yet but I am loving my old new green patio and if I...

Hi Ruggers, I used Ka tanking slurry to tank the walls and floor of my garage based on recommendations online, I also didn't read anything bad about it. I was also looking at Vandex BB75 but went with the KA as it was a lot cheaper. Only a DIYer and only did it last year but its working so far...

20 quid for a nice tight hole, no theres an offer I can't refuse hahaha

Thanks Ktuludays, I'll look around locally and see whats on offer. Doing it right first time and not worrying about it for many years is exactly what I'm after. Too bad about the ground screws then spade time it is, I'm keen on having a go myself as I'll no doubt have lots of time on the weekend...

Hi all, I'm after a few pointers please about some fencing I need to do. I have to replace the existing fence at my back garden 6.7 metres wide, eveverythings in pretty bad shape so can't see the gravel boards or posts being reusable. I'll be doing the work on my jack so looking at wood instead...

Soundsl like a diy PAPR, cheaper than an off the shelf one anyroad!

Hi CG, when you say which ones can be trusted I take it you want something thats a bit more than a 'tick in the box face covering'? I bought a half mask respirator with several sets of reusable p3 filters as I needed some for some dust generating DIY and have vulnerable family members. You get...

@jonbey No ideas afraid, first looked at this house in 2011 and bought it the following year, it was like that then.

Forgot to add the pics underneath the units.

@KenGMac thank you I will look into hiring the concrete grinder and running some grooves as a first attempt. Cheers

Thanks @ted456, is it bad to say I don't know entirely if its a suspended timber floor? Its all units and a dishwasher along the back wall, I took a small kickboard out just now as its less noisy (sleeping children above haha) and I took a couple of pictures, I can't see any signs of water...

@ted456 thank you for elaborating further. Cutting a section out near the wall, fair shout I was thinking out loud,not sure where I was going with that. Ok putting in the airbricks and changing the angle of the pipe I follow you. Please excuse me if I'm missing the obvious, but I don't follow...

Thank you for your kind suggestions guys, really appreciate it. Any option that doesn't involve ripping it up is good with me as long as its not doing more harm than good. If I hired one of the large disc cutters would it be worth cutting out a section along the wall if its too high? @ted456...
