Yes. I’ve used drive on ramps for either front or rear but thinking about getting either a 2-post lift or a scissor lift

Hi all My garage floor is very thin, looks to have been laid at about 3” with no dpc. I want to use my garage for car repairs with a lift and wanted to know what specs I should go to and rough costs ensuring a stable surface. It’s approximately 6m in length by just over 3m in width. I was...

I’ve got a piece of my old one, will take that with me to trial.

Don’t think so, they do 600 and 625. Mine is 600mm on coverage, but they don’t seem to have stock of this one. Not any other local suppliers have sterling osb which I wanted to match and utilise boards I already have. I might take a piece with me to Selco and test it out, otherwise I’ll just...

Thanks. Wasn’t planning on using Selco but it’s local on they have sterling osb. Last lot came from eurocell in 2021/2 when I built my shed.

Hi all I have some 2400x600 boards left from a roof and planning on doing another roof tomorrow but don’t have enough. Local Selco has 2400x625, is the t&g interchangeable? All would Sterling nordboard Or is it different and I need to get enough new sheets for the new job Thanks

I’d love to do that but also don’t want to spend all that money for someone else to moan and have the council on my back. Do you know what the rules are for this and distance from boundaries?

Hi No, unfortunately they don’t. This could be largely due to houses being uphill, most having large drives and the type of people. I have 2 single garages at the moment but they aren’t really big enough to work on the car and with loads of stuff , need to store it somewhere

Hi all Had a bit of a thought of the bank holiday weekend of building a workshop on the front on the house in the corner of the driveway. Before I start getting architects or drawings made up, I wanted to know if this was even a viable option. The drive is approx 225sqm in total and looking to...

Hi all I want to get the outside render repainted to freshen it up, is it worth getting it pressure washed first to clean it up and remove any flaking paint? Seems to have been painted with a plasticy type paint. What to paint with sandex microseal Thanks in advance

Thanks. I will dig out my mixing attachment first the drill and try it out. As I said I only want to use in mist coat, i’ll get some better paint for top coats

Thanks, will try it out

They are crown/leyland contract white tubs. Been stored in a cool garage

Hi all I have some 10L tube of white contract paint from around 2017 which are unopened. Will these still be ok to use? Thinking of using only to do a mist coat on fresh plaster, but if they are going to cause potential issues, I’d rather just bin them all Thanks

Thanks all for the help. Turned out the Allen bolts were loose and all tension had been lost, along with a bent bracket on one side for the roller. Straightened the bracket and tensioned up and all working now

Possibly. I’m going to order a replacement bobbin and cable set and hope I can fix it…will save a lot of cost and hassle

I’ll take a look for make/model next weekend (don’t live there) Yes it had a massive torsion spring on the top

Yes it had some sort of bobbin on the end and the cables seemed loose.

Hi all I have an old up & over garage door that has come off it runner on one side but also has a lot of tension in it when trying to open it. There’s no access from inside at all and thought I’d locked myself in as struggled to get it open again from inside. Before I go and spend money on a...

Thanks. Any ideas of what this should cost me?
