The kitchen is a small one - 12'x11' approx. Thanks for the advice, I just know I don't want to use glue on the underside of the T+G boards and am wondering if the boards will bend if they are glued at the grooves and floated?

....this is what I would like to do in my kitchen. I can get hold of some nice floorboards and would like to lay them on top of the original 'chipboard on joist' flooring before the new kitchen is installed - should I nail them down or screw them down and any membrane needed? Any tips very...

I have moved to a place where the exterior woodwork is poor but not rotten. It has been treated with sadolin and something else put on top which is peeling. I'm in the process of sanding it all down thoroughly and am back to the bare wood in places on the south facing wall. I intend to prime...

For the boards I would need about 15 metres total length - average gables for a bungalow - any ideas how much the job would cost? I need dark [black or woodgrain upvc] boards as the small development here is like this....and I know it is twice the price of white upvc!

I have barge boards on the 2 gable ends on my bungalow which need replacing. Is this a big job and how long would it take a fascia company to do? I am getting quotes this week and want to estimate labour costs in advance if possible - I have priced up the materials needed. Thanks.....

I have bought a house with ceramic floor tiles in the kitchen and I have spares left in the garage by previous owners! I want to change the layout in the kitchen and would like to lift some cut tiles [round the edges of the present units] and put down new whole ones. But how easy is this to do...

Will try and dig it out but know the roots go deep and new plants sprout from any broken roots! Will also zap it with weedkiller, just not sure which type would be effective. Sadly I will not be transplanting it to another part of the garden!

There is a small bramble bush in the front garden of the property I am moving to. I would like to kill it while it is still small - if this is possible! What would be the best way please? Advice appreciated..........

I had to remove 2 concrete posts in my last garden. We dug down and got the post and the concrete base out quite easily for one. The other was more stubborn and we had to break the post up at the base exposing the metal rods which I cut through with an angle grinder - quite quick to do. The...

Thanks for that advice I think I will talk to a tree surgeon and take his advice which will probably be to cut them down - shame though.........the trees are pretty but a bungalow that is standing is prettier!

Im buying a bungalow which has 2 trees near to the side wall, a cherry and a crab apple. Both have been there for a fair number of years, at least 10 at a rough estimate. What steps should I take to minimise damage to foundations - shall I leave them, prune them hard, remove them gradually, or...

i would need 3x500w, and 3x800w = 3.900w i think they would need 2 people to lift the radiator onto 4 support hooks

Im looking into maybe getting epoxy mortar or marble radiators and would like to know if anyone has any experience of these and how easy they are to install? What would installation involve and would it be an expensive job?
