I don't think this would work as there's a number of shelves at different height. So if I want to do this for a shelf higher up then this would just transfer the load to the shelf below which may not have heavy things on there. I would have to prop up every shelf below it in the same way which...

I've got a classic Ikea 100cm wide cupboard which has a few shelves I'd like to use for some heavy-ish items. The back of the cupboard has the flimsy plywood so it can't be used for support. The shelf is supported by the usual shelf support system (3 shelf shelf supports on each side which can...

I have a really awkward threshold that I'd like to finish. On one side is a bathroom with tiles and on the other side is laminate flooring. Not only is the gap between them varying (i.e. narrow on one side and quite wide on the other) but the height different between them also varies. I've...

I have confirmed, the latch is the only thing in contact when the door is being closed. The hooks are fully recessed. Any other suggestions?

My composite front door has a Winkhaus AV3 lock. This is the type of lock that you simply close shut without a key and it engages all the multi point locking. Everything was fine with it up until I needed to share a key with some trades so I temporarily changed out the euro barrel lock for...

I have two Ikea wardrobe cupboards (outside measurements: 50cm width, 60cm depth. Internal measurements about 45cm width, 55cm depth). I'd like to utilise this to storage my various DIY and garden tools. Are there any modular tool storage systems that would allow me to utilise the space? A...

And the world of tiling knowledge keeps expanding. Never heard of movement joints before. The entire ground floor is tiled without any natural breaks. The main open plan area is well over 5m x 5m. The tiler doesn't speak fluent English but he said silicone in the line instead of grout. My...

I already know silicone should be used as grout for many reasons but I just spoke to a tiler and he recommends using silicone instead of grout every 20 sqm as this helps to avoid tile cracking. Something about tile movement or tile expansion. It's the first I've heard of this but I'm no expert...

Sorry for the silly question but does this imply that capping off is more secure than a closed isolation valve?

Is this the Kerakoll epoxy grout or some other epoxy grout you're referring to? My understanding was that this epoxy grout would be smooth to the touch like silicone.

Can anyone confirm if the finish feel of epoxy grout will feel smooth like silicone or will it feel more rough like standard cement grout? Specifically, I was interested in Kerakoll Fugalite Bio 2 Part Epoxy Grout

I landlord a property and the outgoing tenants had a dishwasher installed. If the pipe has an isolation valve, is this sufficiently safe use when the pipe is not used for a long time (e.g. if the next tenants do not want to use a dishwasher)? Or should the pipe be capped off?

I definitely have the engineer code. It's a separate code that if I enter it tells me engineer mode needs to be enabled. If I go into it with my user code and enable engineer mode then when I exit and go into it with the engineer code then I get an entirely different menu. The urgency of...

I 100% have the engineer code. I have tried it but the menus are really confusing and non-intuitive. It does seem like the alarm supports the ability to do this but I'm not sure how.

I've just gone through my notes and I do have the engineer code (I've tested this and it gives me the engineer menu access). I want to give a guest access to the ground floor but not any other floor. I will inform them in advance that the alarm is enabled on the non-ground floor. Essentially...

I've got a Texecom Premier Elite Series alarm that was already installed when I moved in. I've got a single code that enables me to arm/disarm the whole house or I can part arm/disarm the house in a bedtime mode where the ground floor is armed but the rest of the house is not. Want I need to be...

I have good quality porcelain tiles installed on a concrete sub-floor on the ground floor. One thing I noticed is that many of the tiles that were installed in the doorway end up cracking. I spoke to the tile shop and they said that if you cut a right angle slot out of a tile then the sharp...

I'm a fairly noob DIYer but I'd like to make the inside edge of one of the windows finished. It's the upper part of the window which is about 20cm by 40cm. So a relatively small section. Could I get small tub of polyfilla and cover and smooth it with that and then put on a couple of coats of...

Isn't that like someone creating a post on Best Way To Clean Daily Dirt From Hard Floor and the response is to just get carpet instead as then the dirt is hidden? :unsure:

For the kitchen paint?
