    Hop-up

    We bought loads of them for work where we had 100’s of unskilled people using them Not been made aware of anyone falling off? Obviously they could have fallen and not mentioned it

    Insulating an existing concrete floor.

    How much level difference can you put up with? You would need to lay insulation under the carpet This means that you could have a step up into the room and or a step down to the outside (which you likely have. It could be a small step with minimal insulation or a bigger step with greater...

    Disabled access to Holiday Home abroad

    Any chance of a plan view showing the house/steps/boundary? And a photo? A lot of loading bays have a hinged fold down ramp that acts as a barrier when up. M/C benches tend to come with a ramp to get the bike onto it. You could maybe use that to get on, then move it for the “off” M/c benches...

    Disabled access to Holiday Home abroad

    I was going to suggest modifying a hydraulic motorcycle workbench . The ramp would be easier to install when there isn’t time to modify the building. With a bike lift (or similar);you could incorporate it into the house frontage to prevent theft plus add stability etc We had a massive dock lift...

    You do realise that the Government doesn’t actually pay anything unless the tapestry is damaged? It’s akin to a parent signing a rent guarantee form

    Crack in my ceiling should I be concerned?

    Is it plaster board or lathe and plaster? Is the landing a half landing or full? It’s likely to be plasterboard and just a crack in the skim. If you have a half landing, where there is a:90° turn, it’s possible that someone misses the short steps and jumps onto the area for fun. This could...

    How to determine angles for building an internal stud wall in a window bay

    Sometimes “right” looks wrong and “wrong” looks right. I would do it by eye, template it with hardboard/thin MDF

    Material to absorb water as backup

    After doing diy plumbing, I wrap a piece of loo paper around joints which changes in appearance if it gets wet. I also put a foil container under any suspect places to catch drips and look every couple of days. At work I had an AV studio that, for reasons only known to the architects, had...

    How to deal with a window when building a stud wall in a bathroom

    A plan might help? But I agree with the above. How deep is the window ledge? Wall construction on the inside? Possible to utilise more space by removing some of the internal wall if it’s just studwork?

    Is this a good solution for parquet dilemma?

    I wouldn’t use parquet in a kitchen. Worst case, find a laminate/LVT that closely matches the parquet. Granted, I was using reclaimed parquet, and had access to the equipment but… Could you get access to a thicknesser? I used reclaimed parquet (25mm teak) and removed all the old bitumen...

    Slimline USB Chargeable PIR LED 'cabinet light strip' for external use?

    I have a small round usb Rechargable light. It is in a porch and can come on when it senses movement. I am guessing it’s ok for outside, will try to find a link. EDIT. Mine is nearly a year old and has only been charged once. It has sat on the wall of a porch although it says it is a ceiling...

    How to reset garage cable back into groove wheel?

    I appreciate that this is a diy site, but… I had an old door do this and did manage to do it myself, although way too long ago to remember. I had an old mate help me. If things go wrong, it goes with a bang. I would ring a local garage door repair guy. It won’t take long.
