Decorating my house that I'm moving into and a couple of rooms have a few cracks where the wall meets the ceiling. House was built in 2000ish and the walls are dot and dab. There's a couple of sharp bits sticking out which is the tape that was put on to cover the join before plastering...

Have a 3 story town house with patio doors on the 1st floor. Making the 1st floor into an ensuite bedroom as oppose to being a living room and I would like to remove the patio doors and partially brick it up and put a big window in. I already have a BC application in for some works but I...

Gutting my new house and thought I might get an alarm installed while I've all the plaster etc ripped off the walls. I have no idea about alarms or what make to go for and what ones to avoid so looking for some advice. Texecom and Galaxy seem to get a few mentions on here. Basically I'd...

If you're going to replace the flooring anyay then I'd remove that fire place. Each to their own and people have different tastes but it is quite big and hideous. It would probably make the room seem much bugger as well

Looking to take out a supporting wall to open up the downstairs but just have a question about support for the steel. I've had a SE do the calcs for the size of steel etc but when I've stripped the plaster board off the wall the block work stops at the wall in the downstairs WC which is where I...

That is true about the fitting. I'd rather have an average quality window profile fitted perfectly that a top of the range window profile fitted badly. I do like the kommerling profile and it is decent quality.

Hello, I need to remove a UPVC door to get some furniture in. Removing the window pane isn't an option as it's too small. There seems to be a few screws that can be removed but I'm not sure which ones to take out to remove the door. I've labeled them 1,2 and 3 There are 3 of these...
