Thanks for that, I'll give it a go

Thanks both. Apologies this is probably very stupid but if I put a channel drain between the decking and the door, this will increase drainage but how does it prevent splash back onto the door?

Hi, As you can see in the attached photos, the exterior sill of my window is cracked, the piece you can see in the photo was loose (coming off). I have tried to stick this back on with slablayer as this is all I had however it is still a little loose (it wiggles). Any suggestion on how to...

What do you mean by this? The top decking that you can see in the photo is removable to allow things to be stored underneath.

Hi all, Attached are some images of my conservatory doors. As you can see, there is some degradation on the doors, they have started to rot. I have thought about sanding this down, filling any holes, and repainting. Honest opinions - do you think this is salvageable and what is the best way...

Thanks Conny for your help, I'll repost in the woodwork section

I'm not sure how to go back and change the title now but I meant repair conservatory door not call :)

No worries I’ll call a plumber.

Bit harsh, got to start somewhere :) I’ve sorted the taps now got to put the waste and pipes back together :) thanks for all the help

Even with flexis, the socket I posted an image of is leaking everywhere. I think safest option would be to use the copper tails, with Jet Blue mentioned above, with the flexis going round the bend. I will try this after work once I get to screwfix to get some Jet Blue.

Would something like the below be considered less bodge? Copper tail with flexible end. Based on my understanding the olive in the flexible tail connector should tighten onto the copper pipe and form a waterproof seal?

I didn’t, I did wonder how exactly it was going to seal when there was nothing water tight. Do you think that’s why it’s leaking? How tight should I tighten?

Couple of pictures of the connector attached

Hi, Thanks for all your input, apologies if you think this is a basic task it's not one I have done before. DP - I know the copper tails fit into the tap, and I know I have to bridge the gap. I visited my local plumbing shop and I now have: -Flexible tails that go into the mixer tap -A brass...

Hopefully there are 2 images attached now. I’ve got 2 copper tails that came with the tap although I’m open to using flexi. Somehow I have to connect to the bottom where there is a valve, currently stopping the water. The gap from tap to isolator is about 700mm.

Hi all, I just got a new tap that has 15mm copper tails, I got a flexible tap connector assuming that would connect to the copper tail. Unfortunately although the copper tail connects at one end, it does not fit into the copper tail, do I need something else?

Any good ideas on how to find the same style of skirting board?

I’m inclined to agree. The gap is so large and uneven I’m unsure how it would look with such a large gap even if filled?

Thanks for all the replies. Seems to be more complex than I thought for the average DIYer. Will leave this one to the professionals!
