OK. What us a book fold door seal please? I also have just noticed that if I close or open the internal garage door, the upstairs bathroom door and front room doors open/close as if its properly pushing/pulling a draught?

Hi, I live in a newly built house (built 2007) and we are experiencing some rather bad draughts from some certain area, so I wondered what is the best way to counter them. 1. We have a self closing fire door that leads into the garage. This door does not fit 100% properly, so a draught...

Hi, Just pressure washed my patio as it was all green (and should be lovely Indian Sandstone!!) and have found that a lot of areas need re-pointing. Would I be right in thinking that the 12.5kg patch repair bags of premix cement from Wickes or the like would be suitable? Just add water and...

I also assume that I should hang the lights from some form of short chain, as fixing to a combustible material cannot be a good idea? Any idea how to do this? Ta

Hi Guys, In the process of boarding my loft, and want to get two strip lights up there. Currently have a Nuaire Drimaster 2000 up their, thats wired into the upstairs lighting circuit (4 ceiling roses), and is 'always' on. I have noticed that it has two cables coming from the box that it...
