Hi Which type of filler should I used to cover the counter sunk screws? Many thanks.

New fence is up. Concrete left in the ground. Neighbours view the better-side (not a prob, they paid). I was more than happy to pay half, initially this is what was expected. But when neighbours presented me with the quote (£2600 for a 66 ft fence) and refused to let me get another quote, I...

Hi My next door neighbours are replacing the garden fence. It only needed a repair but they insist on replacing it. In fairness, it is their fence as per the deeds. However, the current fence posts, which secure the panels are mounted on my side of the boundary and my view, is the rear of...

OK. I was worried about leaving a space if the pipes expand and contract. Thank you.

Basically, do I have to protect the copper pipes with another material before doing any type of filling?

Hello I have two pipes going up through the floor and then set back into the wall. Its in my bathroom for a towel radiator. What product do I use to cover the pipes and fill the channels. I want it to blend in with the regular plastered wall so I can repaint the bathroom. Many thanks

Thank you. Just been watching a you tube video for roofing, was good to watch and I know the decent quality products to buy for the roofer to use.

Thank you - really appreciated. Had a google but JJ is 90 miles / 2 hour drive each way for me. I'm trying to keep my costs down and I only need about 600 tiles, Just over 200 for one roof and just under 400 for the other roof. Now I know what I'm looking for, I can see many for sale both new...

Thank you. So Rosemary is the manufacturer. What other manufacturers make a similar clay tile please?

Oh, Rosemary Clay Tiles - a sort of orangey colour? I'm in East Devon. So Redland is totally wrong?

Hi I am trying to source some reclaimed Rosemary Roof Tiles. I am opting for reclaimed as brand new will not blend in with my main roof. The tiles are for ground floor bay window roofs. Am struggling to get enough local to me and now looking to increase my options. I think the Rosemary Tile...

Hello The garage roof probably needs replacing, but it will have to have repairs for now. The roof is made of corrugated asbestos and it is leaking on a few joints. Which product could I use to stop/reduce the leaks? Many thanks.

The roofer who mentioned the insulation, his quote says the flashing will be chased into the wall by 25 mm. His business is big ish - 9 permanent roofers, but he specified the hollow PVCu for the side cheeks. The second quote is from a contractor. I am hoping I can get the contractor to...

One has, one hasn't. I asked the roofer who did mention it, if it was the celotex (or whatever its called) insulation and he said no, its the insulation that comes in rolls. Is that correct? I really do need to get on with getting this done as I need new windows and I can't get the windows...

Next Question's (sorry for asking so many!) One roofer has quoted supply and fit cement fibre under-cloak to the verges under the batten ends - is this basically a cement finish? Is there another type of finish or product? I guess this is just for aesthetics? Should the roofs be vented or...

Yes, two roofs. The longer roof, the pitch has to be raised. I had to look up shiplap and I see it is wood. That is what's there at the moment. I wanted to try and make it maintenance free. Is there another product that can be used instead of the Hollow PVCu or the Shiplap? Both the roofs...

Hello I need my roofs above my ground level bay windows to be replaced (see photos). I have got quotes and the materials costs seem quite high (but maybe not?). One of the pitches of the roof needs raising - the other-one doesn't. One of the quotes is quite detailed, naming products and and...

Thank you, that was might thoughts.

Hi Could I have some advice please. I need to replace two euro cylinder locks - I am not at the property to remove and measure for the exact cylinder sizes and screwfix are online orders only at the moment. It is a regular size UPVC door - is there a particular size lock I can order that will...

Hi I have tiled two walls before in a bathroom so just a normal DIYer (I was pleased with my end result). My tiles were 100 x 100 and I used powdered adhesive. I found it time consuming to keep mixing up. I think I had to mix up frequently because the adhesive went off really quick. It...
