Morning All, I am going to build a fake chimney wall for an electric log burner and for a tv that will be slightly recessed. Just a quick query - what would be the most suitable size of timber to build the frame? It will be fixed to the ceiling, floor and wall. Photo is just an example of...

Does it have be anything specific or any specific size?

Hi All, We are decorating our lounge, i have capped off and removed the old gas fire, there is now the hole (see photo). I am building a fake chimney for a tv wall and electric fire, but not sure if i can safely block off/cover the old hole. Not sure if it needs ventilating somehow or filling...

Good Evening all, Hope someone can help please. I am in the beginning stages of redoing our lounge. Originally the radiator pipes were fixed to the skirting board on 2 walls(1 breezeblock), (1 timber frame i think) both plastered. I am putting new skirting back in but think they are really...

Hi, This may be a really basic question, looked at my local planning site and they don't allow questions, only submitting of an application - happy to do this but trying to get a better understanding first. My drive currently has a fence and hedges. I am wanting to build a wall, as the road...

anyone?

Hi there, i'm doing a bit of temporary work in my kitchen, which has chrome tile trims on some of the tiles (see a similar image attached - not mine). Basically, i'm looking for some kind of tile trim cover, or tile trim that would fit over this curved tile trim. Does such a thing exist? I...

right, almost ready to get my purchase on, all measured out etc etc. My question, while many places don't offer this, i can buy 6m lengths of timber, but its expensive.. so i'm not going to and use a default size i can cut where I need myself and join them where required, but what is the...

Any other feedback of the number of support posts? They are the grey ones and i've got about 100 based on that drawing, so in theory that is 100 solid brick/concrete support areas with posts connected to? Have i miss calced or worked it out incorrectly? This is based on one every 1.5M away from...

I've not got much ground clearance between the ground and the underside of my door sills so im possibly limited, the ground is block paving and im going to be putting 1 or 2 bricks underneath the joist depending on the height as my ground is 2 different levels

Sorry if i'm being stupid here, but this is a basic concept, the grey squares are potentially raised blocks which the joists will sit on (this looks way to many), but they are spaced at 1.5 meters away from the house, and 400mm across the house, and the decking boards will span horizontally...

Anyone? Thinking is probably unlikely but worth a last shot.

Yeah it seems so, if the end result is its impossible to fix then a new door is inevitable, but we want to at least give it a try first.

Hi All, Posting on behalf of my Dad. He has an aluminium(i think) sliding door, from Anglican probably 30 years ago. The door itself is fine but the runners/rollers are broken. He has contacted Anglican but they obviously don't sell this door anymore and can't track down much information about...

I.e every 1.5M across is a new joist, and joists going the other way (horizontal) at 70?

And use the same dimensions for joists and noggins too? P.s thanks for the tips!

Hi all, please can i have some guidance on what timber to use as ledger boards, joists and noggins for a decking frame please? Thanks

Morning, Usually when i have done decking i have done it leading away from the house. I am considering doing it horizontally to the house. I know there is usually a fall to aid rain falloff, but horizontally would the logic be the same, just running off to the side? I have to use a number of...

One quick question, due to wanting it to be the same level as the house floors ish, without removing render i cant easily fit ledgers to all the house walls, so would i be able to fit these/screw the ledgers to the ground blocks instead?

Bit of an old photo as theres turf etc now, but the LHS by the wheel barrow is raised so basically i was considering coming 1 brick high there and battons resting in bricks that height and 2 bricks in height for the RHS or similar. So basically bricks 1 or 2 high cemented together wo they are...
