Above is the area/shape I intend to cover with decking; the 10m length runs flush against my new fencing gravel boards, and the 0.5m length runs against shed brickwork, while the remaining sides are exposed. The decking itself will be as low to the ground as possible (obviously with clearance...

After paying two supposed joiners to install my worktop while i was away, they fitted it with an overshoot so long it's cramped the side of my fitted fridge freezer, making it almost impossible to close the freezer section without a bang. I've attached the image below and as you can appreciate i...

Having just fitted an Aqualisa M100 Thermostatic shower to a gravity fed system, there seems to a water flow problem. When you run the shower at the lowest temperature setting (cold) the water gushes out with plenty of back pressure, but as soon as you increase the temperature, it becomes limp...

I'm in the process of replacing my toilet basin, and when I turned off the mains in the street outside, and opened the taps until they were empty, the cold water pipe kept producing water. In addition the loo kept refilling and had to be flushed to lessen the flow. What does this mean?

I have an existing gas pipe that sits about 2-3 inches above floor level, and has obviously been capped. The problem I have is that I'm about to lay new laminate flooring and would like to cut the pipe flush, but I'm concerned that it is still connected at the gas supply. There is an old pipe in...

I'm looking to replace the small taps in our toilet basin, but when I look online, I can't seem to find any sellers that stock them. Are they called by a specific name, or just no longer available? I ordered a set on eBay based on their description (toilet basin taps) but when they arrived, they...

I have a 7m2 area to wall tile and having read the tips at the top of this section, can anyone suggest an affordable product that I can use for decent results? BAL appears to be very dear and I naturally want to avoid using two-in-one pap... :lol:

I recently drained the CH system and mains water supply to remove a radiator and plumb in a new sink/tap unit, and after refilling the system and bleeding the radiators, there is a very noisy gushing happening during the heating cycle. In addition to this, the motorized valve tends to move from...

I'm in the process of replacing the existing metal sink with a Belfast unit, and the waste pipe has been chased into the wall behind the current units. It also appears that allowing for the depth of the new sink, the replacement P trap will sit/connect about 50-60mm lower than the waste pipe...

Having removed the original fireplace, and sealing the opening with a section of MDF, what I want to do is plaster over the exposed brick work to blend it in with the surrounding wall before painting it (see pics below) I've never plastered before, and would really appreciate any advice offered...

Hi I'm obviously new to this forum, and having seen the links for this site in most of my Google searches, I'm hoping someone here may be able to help. We currently have a cold water feed in the garage, originally installed by the previous owners, feeding an outside tap. I'm in the process...
