Thanks for all your help. Managed to construct this for the small alcove gap. Matches the IKEA cupboard too.

Thanks for all the help and support. Will give it a try and see how it goes. Was going to attach some 3mm hardboard on the back too. Just pin it

Apologies for the poor drawing. It is fitting in a vert narrow alcove in the under the stairs cupboard so the sides will be not visible. Just a view from the front

Thanks, any links to anything I can buy from screwfix in the uk? or elsewhere. Would really be appreciated. Happy to drill a pilot hole.

Just making a small shelving unit out of MFC. It is 18mm thick with chipboard. Having google it, are confirmat screws the best to use for an amateur with limited tools. The screws will not be seen on the outside and its only for a understairs cupboard. About 2 metre high, 30cm wide and just 13cm...

So is that a yes, I just wondered why the plumber hadnt suggested it, or whether he thought it being under the existing loft insulation was enough.

Just had a shower pump fitted in the airing cupboard and part of the process plastic pipes have been fitting coming out of the ensuite shower room, and across the full length of the loft, and then down into the airing cupboard. They are quite narrow plastic pipes. Do I need to insulate the cold...

Thanks every so much, I guess I could also make it more simple by using Wago 221, or 222 connectors and a Wago 221 or 222 box. Would save time connecting all the wires. But I guess it will depend on the lengths of wires and how they are stripped for the ceiling rose. Using WAGO may be more...

So I could place that box in the loft, have the three wires coming in to the left (Loop In, Loop Out, Switch) Then have the cable out on the right hand side down back into the bathroom........and in the box I have 4 terminals for the Earth, Loop, Neutral and Switch......

Just replacing the ceiling rose in a bathroom. Presently there is a ceiling rose, but the new light is designed to fit flush with the ceiling. Ideally we wanted to remove the ceiling rose and fit the new light flush against the ceiling. The bathroom is upstairs so I have access to the loft. So I...

Its a fairly recent house. Built approx 25 years ago.

I would be happy to do a few coats of 123 but when we applied this afternoon it reacted and kind of bubbled straight away. So I would need to repaint it over the bad surface and would that work? I would need to sand it back at some point and worried I would sand back all the work it's done and...

ok, so I sanded one of the walls down today using an orbital sander. Then applied a coat of Zinsser Bullseye 123. 80% of it was fine, but again there are certain sections which look as though there has been a reaction, it hasnt coated and its bobbly. See attached. Really would appreciate some...

Yes, the paint work looked ok in most places until we rollered the first coat of emulsion and random places seemed to peel.off, presume they did as they were lower than painted surface. Have just sanded it smooth again. Just wondering what to do next.

So we have started painting the bathroom and ensuite. The house is 25 yrs old and we have painted other rooms, but have a problem with the bathroom today. We have done what we normally done, sand the walls, toupret filler then a mist coat over parts which we have filled. There was some areas...

Thanks for your replies, it is good to know what the possible options are. I just still find it hard for such size extensions to be built with planning permissions. As you say if they do go for planning permission and want to build near the boundary then at least we can object and it gives us a...

That is our problem, we do not know what they are going to do. Just noticed a couple of architects in their garden discussing it, so we want to be prepared if they come round and tell us, or we see something on the planning portal. Guess if they keep greater then 2m from our boundary they can...

Thanks, but if you look at the plan, you will see their existing outside wall of their house is within 2m of our house? So does that limit them what they can build? I guess if they extend from the existing side wall the extension would be within 2 metres of our fence, does that limit them? If...
