Hopefully these show what I'm talking about

Moved into a Victorian house last year - no carpets and the floorboards(pine I think, though quite wide 25 cm planks ) stained a walnut colour - looks very nice. However, we're finding that the knots in the wood are starting to 'flake' - not sure the terms to use, basically the layers of wood...

Thanks, really appreciate the advice. When I've now taken a closer lok at the hole, it looks to me like someone has dropped something and actually broken the tile - it goes all the way through, and the edges are slowly breaking down and flaking, rather than it being a smooth edge. And there...

Thanks for the advice, ordered some, and will report back on how I get on. For the big hole should I look to cement a lump of something in there to take up some of the volume ? I assume I don't want an inch of filler ? Or do I just slowly build it up in layers? And - I have underfloor...

Hi, The kitchen in my house has travertine floor tiles (I think ... see the pictures below) and I have a couple of problem areas: 1) damage on the edge of one tile has broken all the way through, and is slowly getting bigger as the tile undermines and flakes off - at the moment about the...

Have engineer coming round to look at it - he thought it was one of the zone actuators (On his suggestion, I tried the black plastic lever on the top of the one on the smaller pipe, and it wouldn't budge, the other one was fine). Also wonder if the previous owner had dealt with this by...

I think it's 3 pipes (plus a few more) The Wilo is running if that's the pump (what's the Grundfos then) and I can stop/start it with the override on the Honeywell control. Where would the port valve be ? Since I posted (and had my dinner) the boiler has stabilized at 78, and the pipe...

Hi all - hope someone can help Moved into a new house a couple of weeks ago, and still trying to get my head around the central heating (had a combi previously). I have a Worcester R29/40 (not sure which, manual is for both), and an Ariston STI 21c hot water cylinder (plus a few other things...

Thanks everyone for your input. To answer your questions - yes I'm trying to do it on the cheap - I'm hoping this is a 'temporary' barrier in light of some future plans. - yes you can get acrylic - and the Fusion range if you google is surprisingly only 6mm acrylic. I was going for...

Hi, I'm looking to use Perspex as infill panels for a barrier to a flat roof. each panel will be about 1000 x 800, held in place by 2 d clamps top and bottom. Anyone have experience with this, and know what sort of thickness I need to make them feel fairly rigid. I came across some by...

Condition b) holds in my case (it was what started my whole line of questioning ) - read my original post again. And why would BC care about a) - isn't that a planning issue? Anyway as said, I'm all happy so this was only to help others in the future who might run into the same question...

Just an update to an old thread, but I finally got moving on this and had the BC round. Just as suggested he was happy to let the barrier be a biT lower (about 950 though we didn't measure it) to avoid locks and handles. So thanks for all the advice everyone! While researching this to argue...
