I have an old terrace house and was thinking of coverting my loft just for storage use - no windows required. Any advice on this - the beams on the roof and floor are both 3x2" I was basically just going to board over the floor and platerboad the walls. (hopefully cutting down the dust...and...

Hi guys, Any advice on grouting - the grout in my shower keeps cracking and I'm concerned it's going to allow water seepage. I used 20mm ply board water proof and flexable adhesive and grout and it has still cracked. But only in the shower! Any advise on weather it may be the steam or...

This may sound like a silly question as I've seen tiles laid on a concrete floor, but is it feasible to tile on top of a newly rendered wall or is best to have it plastered first?

Hi Guys I've just finished building a new shed and as the winters here I was going to wait until spring before I get it rendered. (it's made from blocks) The only thing is the wall are constantly wet with the rain and I'm afraid my tools will rust, would it be ok to just paint it until the...

I was thinking of thickening up the front wall of the shed so it acts a retaining wall but yer it would be a better idea to build it seperatly just infront of the shed. would certainly stop the damp. I suppose I was just looking at what everyone else had done and foolishly copying! One...

Hi tex, It will still be on a slope approx 1m down on the low side. Was hoping to straighten out the garden against it and put a lawn down. It's going to be 4m x 3m and which is 1m off the width of my garden. I was planning on building it approx 2.3m high I'm sure this will be ok as it is...

hi, I'm about to build a shed at the bottom of my garden. A couple of my neibours have them but say they are quite damp. I don't feel confident to build a double skin wall - does anyone know if I build the shed with the blocks layed flat will the water be able to penetrate through 9" of...
