As i've never had one done before (and a little conserned about getting ripped off) could someone enlighten me on a rought price and what they actually do? many thanks...

thanks, just wanted to make sure.

Bit of an unusual project, i have (laboriously) designed a set up that uses 2 cut down wall cabinets (about 200mm deep) suspended above a breakfast bar. my question is about supporting these two cabinets, the plan is to bolt them together (lenght ways) onto a third strengthened cabinet shell...

I wasn't totally sure of this one so just checking on what may be a stupid question.... Can you legally replace sockets light switches etc yourself? (I'm only talking about the face plate not the cage aswell.) As odd as it is i've never needed to before now, as the plastic fitted ones...

I have a wooden fronted cupboard the hight of the front door, the top being for the gas meter (so obviously needs a gas key fitment) and the lower section is storage. Does a pcv replacement exist for this? I have looked into it and can only find a single large door or a stable (front) door...

i don't doubt that, what i meant was they wouldnt be able to get it to the finish i ideally wanted it to eventually look like. Which wasnt actually what i asked them. not that i myself would be able to with a spray can. On speaking to the shop they flatly refused to look at it and the way...

did try scraping but that only removed so much, having another go today it looks like its gotten into the slightly raised pattern of the paper. I was hoping for something that could dissolve it, as the previous owners stuck a polystyrene ceiling rose cover (in another room) with the same...

yes that was what i was thinking, as mentioned i have tried to get the garage to do it. My thinking was they couldnt match what i wanted. I realise that i will not be able to get it perfect but how close could i get? if it would juct look like a gloss paint then i wont bother, but if i can...

I know a lot of people wont like this question but hopefully someone will be able to relate to a recent job? Looking to have the whole bathroom (2 X 2.5m) stripped of the floor to ceiling tiling and retiled to waste height with majority large tiles with mosaic border. Not knowing the...

Probably the least specific subject title, I apologies but not having used it i'm unsure of the proper name. My problem is thus, being away for the weekend (on business) my girlfriend got her brother to decorate the entrance hallway (paper and coving). A job somewhere on the middle of my to...

Have a piece of wooden furniture with an almost glass like finish, was definitely painted, unfortunately has a gouge out of the very center. I've taken it back almost to the wood now and removed the damage (filling / blending it didn't work). I wondered how near the original finish i could...

I never realised that glass blocks could be assembled dry like mentioned in the wood kit ('framelight' as they're calling it.) I will definatly consider it as it seems like an easy job if i can get some modern looking blocks, i was woried that it might look a little kitch... But i think...

I have a small dining room practically in the center of my house going unused, although it may well devalue the property i wanted to take down the studwall that separates it from the kitchen. I wanted to keep the two rooms 'separate' in so much that there is a clear distinction between them...

i should have mentioned that the archway is just wideer and taller than a normal frame

hi, i'm looking to turn a plasterboard archway into a doorway, (a double door in a single doorway). my main consern is how to properly fill in the gaps above and on either side of the new doorway. thanks, ~ben

the platform idea would mean minimum distruption to the rest of the bathroom, i could put the membrane down over a smaller area. I also think that cosmetically it would be more benificial to give some distiction between shower and the room.

thanks seco, with the additional barrier, would my little project be sound?

thats a shame, just out of interested what are the kits made from?

(must have still been editing whilst you where writing) Yes i was planning to treat the wood and use waterproof grout

isn't tanking a form of treament? is it called somthing elce? Not trying to be sacastic at all or funny in any way, but i mentioned that i would treat the board. i.e. "with a treated board to stand on" I thought that there was off the shelf treatments for that purpose and that was what...
