Thanks, both. Doggit, I've been in this house almost three years and the rattling is only noticeable now, so something's changed, it isn't just being on a dodgy road. I haven't looked up close outside, on a ladder. The window is quite high up, so I'd probably rather have a builder do that...

Thanks, Doggit, but you've lost me :LOL: Some pics below. I think the material is stained knotty pine. It's the entire bedroom that rattles, different parts of the walls, the door, so if it sounds like a familiar situation to anyone? But like I say, if I hold the window by the frames, it stops...

Hi, Ken, thanks for the reply. I'll get a photo tomorrow, I don't have a camera phone. Thanks

Hello, I have a window, it's in a wooden window frame. There's a rattling noise that occurs, I believe it's caused by the vibrations resulting from vehicles driving past. During the day it happens worst, on a night, when no traffic passes my house, is almost non-existent. The rattling noise is...

This darn door is becoming the bane of my very existence o_O Not gonna go down the spraying route, as the one quote I've got for it so far was £120, not including the cost of me sending the door to the place in London that would do it and return cost. Painting it sounds like a massive hassle...

Wow, thanks. Really helpful (y) I think I'll look in to finding someone that could spray it for me. I intensely hate even mild DIY :LOL:

Howdy, I have a a kitchen cupboard door, the MDF plastic-like foil-wrapped whatever they are, like the photo below, and it (the MDF stuff) was cracked. I was unable to buy a straight replacement door, as nobody anywhere has the same size rails, so I've removed all the MDF and now it's just a...

Thanks, both. B&Q say they won't cut it down. Advised me to get a planer and do it myself, no chance! I wondered if anyone had the answer to another question, save me starting a new thread. I have a a kitchen cupboard door, the MDF plastic-like foil-wrapped whatever they are, like the photo...

Would I have to create the holes for the door knob and the hinges myself, or is there someone that would cut it down and do that for me? If you coudln't tell, I have little confidence in my DIY skills.

I wondered if I could trouble you again, or someone else. Wickes and B&Q have the door I think I need, but theirs is about 9mm too tall and 2mm too wide. Where would I go to get it cut down?

Thanks very much, really great info (y)

That's interesting. Does that mean every door in my house has been stained in this way? I rent the house, and there are six doors of this colour in total. The skirting boards, bathtub, attic door, all that stuff are the same type of wood and colour, so I didn't think the doors would be stained...

Thanks a lot. It is light coloured underneath. Any suggestions on where I could find a replacement? The likes of Wickes and B&Q have pine doors, but never in this type of colour.

Hello, all, Could anyone be so kind as to tell me what type of wood my door is, and where I go about finding a replacement? Thanks
