Hi Guys, Just about to lay the first course of bricks for a retaining wall in the garden. Do I need to do anything when bonding the blocks to the foundations or will I just use mortar as normal..... Many Thanks.

Gap round the tongue when fitted together is about 2mm on all sides. Was thinking of using glue and tension straps to hold it...

The flooring and the trim are from different retailers. I need to chisel half the tongue out to get them to fit but even then it is far from being a snug fit. Any suggestion on what to use to fill the gap????

The last time I had a chipie doing work for me, he was using a product similar to gripfill to fill and bond. Anybody any idea what it is! I'm putting down an engineered floor in a split levelled room and the tongue of the flooring and the groove of the trim where the step is doesn't match up...

Does anyone know how much the cost of a collapsed pipe would be??

Every six days or so our ( three victorian semis in a row, no's 29 down to 19 ) sewerage drain blocks up. Blockage occurs under No: 23 which I can clear easily with my rod. The problem is that it clearly needs further attention. Thames water will only look at it if it blocks again. Does...

Can anyone recommend the best mould resistant sealant for around my shower and bath? Also need it in a limestone colour.... cheers.

I did one this week and had to screw the back off, do the waste ,fit the flexipipes and then replace the back.. wasn't much of a problem however if your unit is glued together it might not be possible....

Fitting my cool new V & B soft closing bog seat today and I lost ( into the mould of the toilet ) the little bolt i need to secure the hinges. Having cost the pricely sum of £165, I'm assuming I can buy spares from somewhere.....any ideas guys???

DO NOT use plasterboard for a bath panel

Yes John, Even when I turn it down to "*", the radiator is piping hot

[/img] These are the valves. Got them through Wickes but I believe they're supplied by a company called Quinn. Followed the instructions but to no avail

I've got two new Rad Valves which aren't regulating the temperature so the Rads are piping hot. When I took them off I noticed that the little plastic pin ( on the valve ) that makes contact with the head on the valve body is moving freely! so can't compress. Is there a way to fix this or will I...

Just bought a roberts jamb saw this week for £80 to skim 20mm off the bottom of my skirting boards which couldn't be removed in order to lay new wooden flooring.. best thing I ever bought

Where do the plastics come in? I was going to lay the mat onto a piece of ply or is this a bad idea?? Would you say a ramp profile is the best one to use?.... many thanks.

Hi all. I'm in the process of laying some new engineered oak boards directly onto my pine sub-floor. I'm going to leave a rectangular space to place a doormat so that it is flush with the floor. Can anyone tell me what type of mouldings will look best when "framing" the mat and how I should go...

I'm just about to lay my 189mm engineered boards at a 90 degree angle to the subfloor. What do you think the best method is? Floating, secret nailing??. Also, will i need an underlay... many thanks

Sorry guys, forgot to mention. The wood is brand new bare untreated unfinished engineered oak, so could I use the stain?? I've tried it on several cut offs of oak flooring and it looks good! Would a few coats of nuetral oil give me the deep sheen that I'm looking for?? many thanks

Having struggled to find the right colour of pre-finished wooden flooring, I've discovered the perfect colour ( Colron Jacobean dark oak). My query is... Is it suitable to use on floors ( it doesn't mention flooring on the tin) followed by a nuetral oil??? Many Thanks.
