So chances are that fitter is partially right about mould occurring, he just did not have a technical understanding why i.e. the space above may not adequately insulated .... assuming of course that the bathroom itself has good ventilation. After he skims, how long before we can attempt to...

He will be putting 4 led downlight in as well so no idea he can put insulation of the fire rated lights

Hi, my bathroom is currently being redone at the moment by a fitter. My existing ceiling is Artexx and my thoughts was to have it skimmed. He said I would be better off using ceiling panel instead because no chance of it getting damaged with mould due to moisture. I then said well the current...

Appreciated, so that's external sealant described as hybrid polymer

Anglian windows installed my upvc double glazing over 10yrs ago. On the outside of the house, the sealant used to fill the gap between the window frame and the brick work has shrank over time. Please can you recommend the correct product to use for sealing the gap. Thanks

Yep same issue. Strange we keep using USA autocorrect on UK forums. It does not complain when I use tire.

Tyre

Thought so as well. It needs 1 new tree and a drop link (from last year's advisory). If that's all the issues the I should be able to recoup all that back from sale

So from what I have gathered so far from all discussions, I have until end of this month to declare a SORN. This gives me almost 2 weeks to get MOT done and decide if keeping or ditching the car.

Good idea, Thanks

bummer, no rum for me. Are washing machines just as desirable for scraps. I don’t want to do my back in lifting it in and out of my car.

As title says is there a decent amount of money in getting rid of metal railings or it's just peanuts? I have just taken down the metal railings & gate in front of the house. Its about 1m x 9m in lenght combined. Cutting for disposal at recycling centre will cost me time and wasted Dremel...

I was thinking of the time it will take to dry since we will try and leave the windows open …. I am guessing that the hired machines leave more water in the carpets than the steam cleaned carpets

I’ll try and get another quote tomorrow. I’ve only got this coming week to get it done before the weather completely changes.

I am thinking of having the carpets cleaned. we have not cleaned it for a few years. If we hire a machine, it would have to be either rug doctor from Morrisons supermarket or what ever brand is on offer at Speedy or HSS hire. Just wondering what your thoughts are about hiring a machine compared...

Some are designed to be undone with sockets (like this one), some with a torx' key. Remember that these parts are under the car for a long time affected by the elements, rust, heat .... so they don't always come off easily without a fight. Sometimes the threads have fused with the bolts or the...

I've only ever taken one of an x5. This is was the easiest way to get it off. Not enough space for a nut splitter due to the design pf the surround's On a slightly separate note, Having seen the mechanic take shocks & Springs off my wife's car using blow torch and air impact wrench. I was...
