Hi all, As title says. We have wooden floor (dining room) which meets tiled floor (kitchen). We did have a sliding door in between but this has been removed. The gap in the runner has been filled in. I just need something to cover/tidy the gap (approx 120mm) between where wood meets tile...

Hi all, I'm looking for some advice please :) The brickwork at the corner of one of our outside walls is damp, with the mortar coming away, bricks feeling damp to the touch, and with a white powdery substance seeping from the bricks (more noticable when the weather is dry and cold). In...
