    Avg cost to lay Porcelain outdoor Paving - Manchester

    We are thinking about having around 55m2 of porcelain paving laid outside. the area that it will be laid upon is around 50% flagged and 50% turfed currently. I have managed to source the porcelain tiles myself for around £1,750 to cover 60m2 (just incase of any breakages). I just wanted to...

    Taking 9cm off an oak veneer door?

    I think that in theory this would cost at least 3x as much because the difference in price between the door sizes is only £5-10 here n there. I would still have to get door trimmed regardless because the sizes they have wouldn't be the same size as the frame, maybe widthwise but not heightwise...

    Taking 9cm off an oak veneer door?

    Ahhhhh so it is possible. Thank you very much for descriptive advice. I already have a big tub of Danish oil, do you think a couple layers of that would be good? So if I'll be chopping past the lipping anyways. Shall I just take 90mm off either the top or bottom (if so which side is best to...

    Taking 9cm off an oak veneer door?

    Guessing this isn't possible as it seems like way too much to take off either the top or bottom of the door? Missus wants to match all the doors in the house (LPD Carini), and we have a door which is like a 1½ sized door (widthwise) due to the house previously being altered for a wheelchair...

    Shaving/Trimming off side of Oak Veneer Door

    Haha yes its the 7 panel one. I got the pre-finished so it was abit annoying to have to cut but i took it to my local timer merchant and they charged £12 to do the side cuts and to cut the bottom. Saved me alot of effort to be honest. just varnishing the sides now and then hopefully after 2 more...

    Shaving/Trimming off side of Oak Veneer Door

    Ah thanks I don't have a track saw but I think I'm taking it to a timber merchant who said they can cut it for me. Do you mind if I asked what did you do once cut? Did you varnish/oil the newly cut sides for protection? Thanks

    Shaving/Trimming off side of Oak Veneer Door

    The current door that I have is an LPD Carini 762mm x 2040mm My existing doorframe is 762mm at the top and 755mm at the bottom so its about 7mm out. I also need to leave a 2-3mm gap inbetween which means I will have to roughly shave off about 10mm total. I was thinking that the best way to do...

    hairline cracks in SLC - do i need to repair?

    Have a couple of hairline cracks in my SLC which has been laid for about a good 2 weeks now, i think it may have been due to foot traffic since the LVT has been delayed in being layed (scheduling issues with my flooring guy) room spans around 6m x 5m and its not tons of cracks just a few going...

    Decorative overboard?

    Sorry I totally forgot to include the picture in my original post lol So the room side on the right has been skimmed but it seems like the old part which is the left side (inside the wardrobe) he hasn't done. There is actually 2 joists running parallel to the cupboard longways (the same...

    Decorative overboard?

    Long story short, Plasterer didn't skim the ceiling in my cupboard (sliding doors) Have asked him to return to do it but he said he's finished and to just keep the remainder of what is owed on the amount as he's got another job to get on with. I actually probably wouldn't want to go with...

    Can i DIY skim 4mm?

    Decided to remove a part of a stairs which then also left a big chunk of missing plaster which is 4mm deep and around 10cm x 10cm. I've heard that skim should be around 3mm max, but is there a type of product that I could do 4mm? Or is it possible to use a 2mm and go over twice? Sorry never...

    Can i use the 10mm² T+E cable for my Oven AND possible Induction Hob

    I put an original post before where I was asking if my newly bought oven would suffice on a 15amp normal plug. There were some 'possibly's' but mainly it was no due to safety. So i just spent the night with my cousin Routing through a 10mm² 44amp T+E cable from the garage to the kitchen...
