I know someone who was having a pig of a job doing their stairs but eventually found that using a product called 'cling strip'(?) was very good.

Please bare with me as without photo's this may be a bit difficult to describe. Planning to decorate an attic room and make it feel as light and airy as possible. The front wall of the room is vertical for 2 metres, then has about 3 foot of sloping (45 degrees?) to a beam. The rear wall...

Does this help?

Hi, I have a slope on my attic floor either side of a brick supporting wall. Its an old conversion so the joists and as big as they shuld be, so the floor is a bit wonky. I've seen loads of terraced houses like this. Anyway, I know I could use self levelling compound, but would laying sheets...

Its an internal door

I need a door of none standard measurements. It needs to be 2040 * 675. I can get 2040 * 726. Can I get away with taking an inch of either side? Many thanks

You put the foil nearest the surface that is losing heat, stopping heat loss through radiation. It will also double as a vapour barrier. Therefore it will be plaster, foil, blanket

Thanks. So the damage to the board only affects how securely its fixed to the wall rather than any other nasty consequences?

I've been fitting plasterboard to some stud walls in my house. Its the first time I've done it and a couple of the screws near the edges / corners have crushed the plasterboard slightly. Does it really matter? Also there are some slight overlaps in a couple of places where bits of the...

Am i right in thinking that I don't need to worry about balancing if i have TRVs?

I'll give it a try Ta

No

They're Drayton. ANything above 3 the rads get hot, below that they tend to be cold with little difference above / below either setting :?

Once my house gets warm the (combi C&M Britony combi SE)boiler seems to get lazy. It will turn itslef on every few minutes but a couple of hours after the house has warmed up it gets cooler but boiler doesn't seem to kick in again unless I turn the heat setting on the boiler all the way off and...

Fitted all the rads with £7 jobbies but not convinced they work, I'm guessing you get what you pay for. But why would I need a room thermostat as well as TRVs? Does the room stat determine the overall output of the boiler for the whole system and then you use TRVs to fine tune this on a...

Posted in Tools forum but thought it would be relevant here. //www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=150939 Basically the dry wall bit doesn't fit into the end, but even if it did t wouldn't grip it very well. Why would this be any different to a regular screwdriver bit holder? Thanks

I bought a drywall bit with a depth stop. I also bought the bit holder to go with it - https://www.bargaintools.co.uk/store/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=23&products_id=2019&osCsid=c2df1866f79fc2d93c528f66606f5308 The bit won't go into the holder and didn't come with any insrtuctions...

As I understand it the most important areas to lag are those in area's of the house that are unheated as more heat will be lost from the pipes. I think insulating wherever you can will help, but the amount of money it'll cost to lag them in these parts of the house will be of little ROI.

Thanks
