Hi, I've a very basic question and hope you can help! Can a wireless thermostat be changed without needing a new reciever? I have these two but want to get a programmable thermostat. Thanks

I would like to build a false ceiling in our conservatory, with 50mm insulation board, then finished with that plastic bathroom ceiling pvc stuff. My question is, with the size being 4.2x5.5m, what grade timber would be required to span the 4.2m length and hold it's shape? I obviously don't...

I've a few very very basic questions and wonder if anyone could help please? I'm learning all of this as I go having no experience! I have taken down the old hardboard and polystyrene ceiling in our loft room and have got it all insulated now with 70+50mm rigid board. I have left the hardboard...

We have moved into a house with a loft converted in the 70's and I have been replacing the ceiling up there with new board insulation, and will plasterboard it before building storage and decorating, but I have just thought what about the floor? Should this also be insulated to reduce heat loss...

Hi, I have a loft room in the house we've recently bought that I need to sort out and as a total novice I'd appreciate some pointers if possible. The whole room seems to be boarded with flimsy fibre board of some kind. The ceiling then has a layer of polystyrene glued to the board, and the...

I have stripped my hallway ready to sort it out, but 3 of the walls have external bullnose corners, merging into a 30cm section of square corner at the top. This obviously presents papering problems, so I would like to square up the corners the full height of the wall. What's the best way to do...

I've removed a car port and the base was a big raised slab of rubble, bricks, cement and slabs. This has left a 10m2 hole that I want level to use as driveway space. Can anyone advise on what would be the best course of action here please? I don't mind it being visually different, just...

Hi, My wife and I have just bought a house and have some work we'd like to do to bring it up to scratch, and I'm just wondering if anyone can suggest the best way to go about things here. The house is in a Town Preservation Area in Scotland. I'm led to believe this is similar to a Conservation...

Has anyone got any idea what might be involved in removing this car port? It's attached to the garage and rendered the same. Is it likely to be a beam? Brick? Will a large grinder be a suitable tool? We don't live in the house yet but moving soon. Thanks!

If anyone has seen this pattern for sale anywhere please let me know. We got a back boiler removed and need to repaper a section of the living room and finding just enough for the protruding wall would save many hours of stripping and papering the whole room! Thanks

We are happy with our back boiler but really want to get rid of the ugly obtrusive fireplace in the lounge... is this possible? Cheers Dan
