Thank you woody but I have no issues with the downpipe/drain itself. I am referring to the concrete area (grey) on the ground, except it is higher where it meets all three sides of the drain (red). I want to make that piece of area around the drain as flat as the rest of the concrete, but...

Hi, In order to create a new path to my front door, I would like to widen the current gap which exists. This surface drain sits on a raised 'collar' which is sloped on all three sides. I know I cannot do anything about the Drain itself, but I am thinking of maybe squaring this collar up on...

Yes I have thought of that although I would have to choose a different place as I don't think you can get rawlplugs half inch across lol

Using standard white board and L shape brackets I have for the first time been unable to complete the job and in fact have likely created a problem. The wall is stud/false made of cement? ( the dust is grey but could be plaster?). It seems to be something like 1 to 2 inches thick. Immediately...

Really? A whole Staircase? Care to share where this could be purchased? Or do you mean to Build ourselves ? Thanks

Thanks for your response. I know taking out an existing Staircase and replacing would be more than say a thousand pounds, whereas the timber cost would not come near that.

Yes the Bathroom/Toilet is the other side as is the Kitchen.

Thank you. We have been here 2 yrs the skirtings are all new and are not soft (yet?). The floor base is concrete. I will endeavour to make further enquiries based on your info. Thank you

We appear to have moisture/mould along some of our skirting in a bedroom . The property is a Bungalow so we are ground level and the bedroom runs along the outside wall where you see this pipe. As the ground has been dug up previously to insert this pipe I suspect there could be an ongoing...

A property I have seen has an open plan staircase which I do not like. Is it possible to fill in the backs of the steps and also the underneath ? If it is, is there a particular wood that should be used or could I use Marine Ply? Thank you for any advice. Having a whole Staircase replaced is not...

Thank you, Good idea. He took lots of pictures. Personally I can't see him getting pp because this is a row of Bungalows (Essex) and mine is semi - detached and on the end. Next to me there is s row of houses. I think despite lots of surrounding space around the Bungalow and it's big garden, a...

We have had a viewing of our Bungalow by a Builder who wants to take it up and out and obviously he will need the usual pp. My question is, can he get any preliminary verbal information regarding his intended pp? Due to an earlier sale which collapsed and cost me Solicitors Fees I am concerned...

Thanks but I am being asked for it by the Estate Agents and it will be in my favour to produce an up to date one with better rating.

The old system was a Baxi back boiler

Can someone advise if I should get a new EPC as the central heating/boiler has been renewed in my property and I want to sell. Thank you

Our mixer/post tap on the bathroom basin will now not shut off completely. It has always been stiff to operate so I am thinking could it have been Ill fitted? I do not think this is being caused by lime scale build up because it has always been stiff. This Now brings me to the cartridge, can one...

This took me to an office furniture site. Did you mean for me to click on the pict Ute? That’s all there was with your reply

I am hanging eight and a half sheets of wallpaper . The paper I want to get has got a 64cm drop for pattern match/ loss . How many rolls should I buy? Thank you

I want to purchase a Lease on a property which is a ground floor flat but when I viewed it I noticed wallpaper had peeled in the bottom corner up to about 18 inches and there was black (dry) residue on the paper. The property has been empty for about a year now. Immediately outside this area...

Two years ago we had our Radiators changed. I have now tried to Bleed the system for the first time but find that the brass nut (?) behind the white plastic is also turning as I turn the bleed key. In short the whole fitting is moving. As I have not seen these kind of fittings before, does...
