Noise is from the road , fairly busy road . You put your head in there and I could be sitting on the roof . Just the tiles and a membrane stopping it. Don’t really use the space but concerned about putting in soundproofing boards or insulation and causing condensation due to lack of airflow ...

Hey all We have this area in our loft room behind the access door that id like to try and sound proof and draught proof as it’s both noisy and gets the draughts . Any ideas what’s the best option to use? I was thinking of getting some thin insulation board and then board over on top of the...

Thanks !! Yes this worked. Didnt think i could just hammer a couple of screwdrivers into it and the surround would move slightly. Got it up , no spiders :) or Rats which is the main reason for opening it up. Cheers again all.

haha ok will give that a try and let you know. thanks

yeah its a screw that i undid but its fixed on the other end (right side out of shot) and cant get the decking board up. screw head is knackered.

but cant angle the screwdiver because the timber is in the way. all 4 sides theres a few inches but cant angle the screwdriver because of the timbers.

not enough room under the timber, its about 2in from the ground. tried to get that timber out but its all screwed up underneath the decking. and some of the screw heads are knackered.,

Problem is i cant get any screwdivers in there, the decking support timbers are there. no way of levering a screwdriver. Unless i take up about 5metres of decking. i'll have a look for the lifting eyes, couldnt see any though.

Hey all, Trying to get into this drain cover, the guy who did the decking has literally put timber right up against the surrounding of the drain. No grab handles. Am trying to get the piece of timber off at one end although its screwed up to other timber and cant get a piece of decking up thats...

ah ok thanks, is i`m assuming this is the radiator tail that came with the valve.

Hey all I`m wanting to swap this radiator valve for a trv corner type, i`m completely clueless with this but to me it looks like the radiator fixing is a different size to the 15mm corner valve i want to fit, any ideas if i`d need to replace the radiator insert/tail in order for it to fit the...

Thanks. Just went up and had a look whilst they’re out at lunch and I can just see the flexible ducting with my phone camera. But there isn’t anything externally, and even the soffit is solid, no vent slots. So I might ask if they just can put a vent into the side.

Hi all we are having a loft converted currently and have a bathroom in the dormer area. The builders have put in a 100mm hole up through the ceiling , waiting for the ceiling extractor fan to go in. But i`m querying to them where the ducting is as cant see anything apart from obs board above...

Heres with the door hardware removed, think i can just glue in a piece of timber into where the old lock was and then add a night latch with a bit of chiselling out.

Yes thanks the bottom one is a deadlock, i`ll keep that the same. I was trying to not have to create more holes on the front of the door, so though the 40mm would allow to use the same hole for the key plate. I assume thats possible , or are my chances of finding something to match remote?

Thanks a lot for the info. Will have a look into those. For the time being would this work for the top lock, i can keep the bottom one as is. I was going for the 40mm type of these, would this work? But i`ll look into those links you provided. ERA 183-31 DOUBLE LOCKING NIGHT LATCH BRASS 40MM...

Hey All, We had some yellow balau decking put down before christmas, I noticed as the weather has gotten warmer that some of the long boards are warping. I got back the landscaper who put it down and he said some of the screws had snapped. He replaced the problem ones. But then I went to check...

Problem with paving slab is theres a fence post so at one point its not 60cm deep, i guess i could cut with a masonry drill?

Hi All I`ve just put together a double bin storage unit and it doesnt have a floor and its partly standing on some old plant beds soil (60cm deep by 150cm). Looking for something to use as a base, any suggestions for something cheap and easy to install that would do the job? Thanks P

Hey all We recently moved into a 1930s house that has had full insulation about 10 years ago, it's 30cm thick and then loads of small polystyrene balls filled in between the joists. I'd like to increase the storage as only about 10ft is boarded. What's the best way to go about this. I've seen...
