Sounds like you have found alot of flight holes , that means they have gone , but who knows where ? maybe into the next room or house . The general rule is cut 1m past the last flight hole and replace .

Thin Birch ply is probably your best bet to get a nice finish to paint on .

I just spit on my finger and wipe . The water is the key . But Marks and Spencers own brand conditioner is also good to add to the mix :roll:

Score a line in the face with a stanley knife so you don't get chipping . Cut the top of the kickboards not the bottom , that way if it goes wrong it wont be seen at eye level . Myself i would just plane it because it wont be seen anyway and do the scoring thing at any corners or exposed parts...

I would say get the glass repaired by an expert and get a 4/6/4 dg unit made up that you can fit into a rebate on the inside of the door . It will be tight but i don't think you will find anyone to put stained glass inside a dg unit . Regarding the regs , if you are just replacing the door and...

I haven't shopped at Jewson for years but i think their timber is white wood . You would be better going to a timber yard and buying a joinery grade redwood . Also for the little extra cost a hardwood cill would be a good idea . As for primer , just an oilbased wood primer will do but others may...

£600 is cheap for a one off . I've made them for £600 before + materials but that was an order of 6 with 6 more to come .

The way i did it was to cut grooves on the table saw to the depth i wanted to plane too . My door as with yours has a flat area for the beading to sit on and lip over the rebate . The second cut on my panel was because i had a flat area on the top rather than all going to one point , you may...

With a hand plane , a saw and some wood . Thats all there is to it .

Boyalls in Hampton hill will have what you want , i mention them because your location is Middlesex .

Wood has been around for a few thousand years and is tried and tested , why not try that ?

Your getting a Front door made for £250 ! Where and to what spec ?

If the new driveway has been built right up to your property you need to cut it back so its not bridging the damp course . Dig a trench and back fill with pea shingle , a brick wide would do and this will also allow you to block out the pea shingle where your new vents will go . Cut your...

Maybe he has fitted rising butts so you dont have a huge gap when the door is closed but it will allow for your out of level floor ? Ok a bit beyond what a floor fitter would do but at least you now comply with fire regs :D
