No alternative found so I went lateral and colour tinted the walnut superdec with a smidging of black superdec then later applied an exterior grade acrylic matt varnish to mute the satin sheen of the superdec, the matt varnish isn’t 100% matt more like 75% but I can live with that and it looks...

Hi all, is there a Matt or eggshell alternative to sadolin super dec opaque finish for door sills? im painting the windows and doors with little greene toms oil eggshell (Celestial Blue) and I’ve painted a sill in superdec (satin) as a tester but it looks naff and way too shiny against the...

Yes seems to be the norm, just looked at my neighbours who has wooden windows and DGUS and his is doing the same thing. I’ve been looking at the sealant putty in a tube and think I’m going to cut back the butyl putty, push it back with a lolly-stick (one of the most useful tools known to man...

Hi yes they do, I’m on another job with the same stuff, it cannot handle a south facing front and that’s the big issue here, it’s pretty dire, oozing out of the space between the frame and glass, it really shouldn’t;t be used on a south facing front. although it’s behaving in a similar way on...

Had a look at some windows a few days ago and they have a soft putty between the wood frame and the double-glaze glass, it’s the stuff you can mark with your nail. In places it’s going very soft, so you can smear it, it’s almost like it’s gotten soggy, the best way I can describe it would be...

Thanks for the replies, I have to take the rad off to strip the wallpaper behind it but I'll do a bit of careful paint removal, hopefully it is poor prep work prior to powder coating.

Hi all, just started work prepping my back bedroom for redecoration and moved a tall box that was in front of the rad and was confronted with this (see image) has anyone else had this issue with a designer rad? The rad is approx 6 years old.

Hi all, where is the best place to buy weed barrier around Nottinghamshire? Any tips, or links to grades etc TIA

Got a door from Howarth Timber, Top people, great service, good price

Hi all need to buy a door to replace an old crumbling garage side door, where is the best place to get one from please?

Wouldn't the onus fall onto the rented property owner to stop this?

Hi Foxhole, no I have a galley kitchen that is U shaped it has a door to the outside and another to the hall. I'd take a picture but it looks like a bombs gone off at the moment, I'll take one tomorrow when I've tidied up a bit lol!

Thanks for the info, looks like I'm doing the end panels fastened to the units right and seating the angle brackets into the units like hinges sounds a neat job. I did consider screwing a flat tee Bracket to the base of the end panel as it will be hidden by laminate flooring.

As a sub question what is the accepted method for fitting freestanding end panels to make them sturdy? see image below.

at the moment it leaves 710mm worktop edge to worktop edge which I know is a bit tight, the width of the kitchen is 1920mm and is consistent all the way up, the kitchen is surprisingly square as well. Most of the utilities will be going on the right side which is the outside wall. The dishwasher...

That would have been nice but unfortunately its a tight (Narrow) galley kitchen. Thank you

No I have another base unit the other side, this is a galley kitchen and its just that bit too wide, hence the in-fills, it will be the same on the other side.

Well I did battle with the base units, hardest part was getting it all level and staying level. If I had more time I'd do this better but I need to get this done. I might refine it later, I have a mate who has a joinery shop so I might ask him to run off a few small in-fills to level it to the...

Thanks for the replies, getting a better idea of what I can do, like the idea of packing the back too, these are Howdens standard base units. I'll have a better idea of what I have to play with today as I'm cutting out to accommodate pipes and get the three units fixed in place today, well...

Hi all, I have a 600 base unit and a 800 and 900 base corner unit. When fitted they will have a 32mm gap either side this includes the corner molding. Can anyone give some advice on how best to finish this neatly.
