Hi We recently moved into a new property and have been wondering why we always get flies and a terrible smell when sitting on the decking in front of the kitchen window in the back garden. We unscrewed a couple of the decking boards and discovered a manhole sewer. It wasn't sealed or...

Tried the scissors and they worked great for around the swing legs. I've tried using salt for the weeds and will see how it goes. Thanks

Hi all I know it's illegal to set rat traps in the open in your gaeden but what about in your shed? Thanks all

Hi all Please can someone give me advice on how to trim around the swing legs as the lawn mower didn't work on it and the strimmer just snapped when it hit the metal legs. Also having trouble getting the weeds and grass out between the paving slabs that you can see in pictures as the weed...

Is there anything I can do other than replace the skirtings?

Hi all Can I ask, what would be a good way to fill up the gaps along where there flooring meets the skirting board? Ie just a filler or foam etc? Thanks all

Can I glue them to the floor too ?

Thanks. Can you get none toxic insulation? Hopefully they will fit as there is the beading along the wall.

Hi all Can anyone recommend some kind of filler to put around my radiator pipes where they go into the floor? Something ok with cooper pipes just to fill the holes? Thanks all Please see pic.

Anyone know what this tap is for? (Os it even called a tap?) It's behind toilet. Also to the right you will also see a hatch and behind it is a pipe with a tap on that turns off the water supply to us and the neighbour next door. Hoping there is a way to turn off the water to just our home and...

So I have bought this but how do I lock it from inside the bathroom? https://amzn.eu/d/aUV8VE1

It's about depth 1/2 inch. Can you give me a link or pictures to the materials I need? I found this but don't I need a sort of little door to put over the hole? Ie first remove the cut out circle and then put a little door over the hole and lock it with a hatch latch or lock?

Hi all Please can someone advise me on what tools etc and any links please as to how I can put a latch on little door on this so it can only be opened from the inside bathroom and not from the outside ie where pipes are. The reason being is that we have issues with rats coming from the hole and...

Had a guy out from a pest control company and he said its almost impossible to proof up the roof as just so many possible entry points. As there's areas where there's open flooring with insulation showing etc. Trouble is I'm in a 6 house terraced and the rats are just running freely along the...

Thanks so don't use a pressure washer on the driveway as it will dislodge the paving bricks. Even if I do this and then put sand in the gaps?

Can imagine that would be expensive. I have a outdoor tap in back garden so can run it around the outside of the house. But if I buy my own and do it myself I need to ensure I have a suitable pressure washer to clean the driveway and that would blast away the weeds throat are there and one...
