Thanks for the reply @noseall It’s only an 800x600 k2 but I’d still rather be safe than sorry I’m planning to put 4 in for each bracket and will use some of the soudal fixall as you suggested too Would you say a 9mm or perhaps even an 8mm ? My thought is to but a non masonry drill bit also...

I am planning to use 120mm corefix to hang my radiator brackets off The wall is dot and dab onto thermalite blocks The packaging (see photos) says to use a 10 mm drill bit, however, I was wondering as the thermalite blocks are so soft, would anyone suggest that it were better to use a slightly...

I’m looking to get a local tradesmen to lay a 2.4 x 3.6 m patio for me It’s Indian sandstone and I have all materials on site (slaps sand, cement and hard-core) There will be approximately a third of that size that needs hard-core to go down and be compacted The other 2/3 was an existing patio...

Thanks @freddiemercurystwin What about painting afterwards? Usual approach of primer, undercoat and topcoat or have you found you need to do something else for the filler?

Sorry for hijacking this old thread but I’ve the same job to do myself @Wayners - do I need to seal or do anything to the screw head to ensure the filler sticks please ?

Thanks for your reply @Rodders53 I will get a proper HEP removal key to get them off just make sure I clean the pipes up nicely and then put some new ones back on

Thanks for your reply @slawit Don’t get me wrong I would love to replace all of the plastic pipe on that run, but the problem is it’s fitted in the ceiling of a single story extension so I can’t get to it I can only get to the push fit joints where that radiator is tapped off the main system...

Thanks @noseall @Ivor Windybottom I’ll do a quick read up and check reviews on thePolymers suggested by noseall earlier in this thread and put a generous amount on Thanks both for your inputs

…and it sticks well against expanding foam @noseall ?

Thanks again for your reply This skirting board is simply from B&Q Here is a photo of the front and back : As you can see, the front is primed whereas the back less so, so I’m not sure as to which out of your suggested products would be best Would you lean towards the low expanding foam or...

@Wayners @noseall Thanks both for the replies So not gripfill then ?

I have a new radiator to fit at the end of this hep20 connector (there is obviously a second one out of shot of my photo !) The builder used this push fit to go from copper down to plastic as you can see, and then at the radiator end there is copper in the wall so additional push fits in the...

I’m in the process of fitting some new skirting boards Unfortunately, removing the old ones took away an amount of the plaster leaving me with some holes (see photo) I’ve made good with some Soudal expanding foam and levelled it off so that the skirting board sits flush However, I’m obviously...

Cheers @blup Does anyone else have any recommendations? And particularly interested to hear whether the Purdy brand is worth the investment

So I am about to start decorating the bedrooms and was just checking in my decorator’s box and found at least 6 likely B&Q single roller cages I’ll be honest they all look pretty rubbish and I recall them not rolling smoothly sliding across the wall et cetera et cetera so I’m considering...

@jj4091 @cdbe Thanks both for your inputs I’ll try to give hilka a buzz tomorrow and will report back just how the safety measures work exactly Thanks for the Yale style alternative I’ll give that some thought also

Thank for the replies @jj4091 @robinbanks I assume it’s that question titled fails Safe that you’re referring to This is the reply from the manufacturer to that question : “Hello, thank you for the question. The 250Kg electric hoist has a mechanical lock stopping it from falling, which is...

Hi all I’m considering buying the following hoist from Screwfix : Hilka Pro-Craft 250kg Electric Hoist As I’m planning to use it to construct a hoist seat to transport my dog upstairs I was wondering whether it has a built in arrestor to stop the load crashing to the floor Does anyone know...

All, thanks again for all the replies and sorry for the delay in responding @Ivor Windybottom - funny you say that re:bungalow....its on the agenda although not for a few years or so @mattylad - yeh I've seen those but think they are a bit on the ugly side. Don't get me wrong, its more about...

Firstly, many thanks for all the replies, its really appreciated To answer all the questions so far : @cross thread - that's a possible but a fallback option at the moment @freddiemercurystwin - my stairs go up 6 steps, around 2 to the left and then a further 6 steps to the landing so they...
