Hi, hoping someone could clarify the best way to deal with this... I'm looking to board the ceiling in my garage and insulate above with rockwool rolls. On the sides of the trusses are various light circuit and socket circuit cables clipped to the truss. How am I best to deal with the presence...

Hi I have a c.5.6m x 5.4m double garage (double up and over door, pitched/trussed roof) that I'm looking to make warmer, but have a couple of bits I'm not sure on... My plan is in two parts 1) erect a stud wall splitting the garage in half side to side leaving two c.2.7m x 5.6m sections (it's...

Hi all, I'm anticipating the answer is b"how long is a piece of string" but hoping I might get a steer in the right direction... I've got a detached garage built c.2000, 5.6m x 5.4m, pitched roof, 2.7ish floor to rafter, 14ft x 7ft up and over door, metal side door. Cavity walls, brick...

Hi Have stripped wall paper and with it came a lot of plaster in some areas... See photo below! Looking for any advice on filling the gaps and 'refinishing' the wall for painting... I'm all ears! (y)

So... this is a bit of an off-the-wall question (no pun intended... ;)) I'm looking at putting up some soundpanel/insulation between the party wall (1970s semi) in two of the upstairs bedrooms. Want to lose as little space in the rooms as possible (the noise isn't awful, just a bit noticeable...

As above really! The guttering had pulled away towards the top when we moved in here, my old man eventually got round with his ladders and pushed it back in, popped the pipe back into the 'soakaway' (i.e. the drain pipe disappearing into the ground). It's just tipped it down so thought I'd...

So I'm struggling to get my head around this - please could someone clarify for me... Why would you fit tile trim to the reveal and not the wall? Tiling my bathroom (badly based on my other thread/dilemma!) and will have cut edges going around the reveal on the wall side - I.e. Looking at the...

Hi folks, hoping my pics have worked in the snazzy new site...! I'm a bit stuck with how to finish the edge of a shower - I've built up a bit of a stud wall to shield pipes and tile over, but the edge is presenting a challenge... The gap is not quite uniform, either front to back or side to...

Advice please... Renovating bathroom in a 1970s semi, taking tiles off the sill brought up chunks of plaster and cracked the rest. So I've taken the rest of the plaster up leaving what looks like a bed of mortar. This is also cracked, but after knocking a couple of loose bits out of the...

Hi, I'm handy enough about the house to feel this is within my capabilities, but I'm not au fait with various aspects of roofing... excuses out of the way, I'd welcome any thoughts/opinions on the below :lol: 2850 x 5550 detached single garage, single skin brickwork - currently has a...

Hi, I'm hoping someone might be more familiar with is than I am, coming to the end of a bathroom refit and I've been left with the unenviable task of sealing the bath to finish off. Some tile trim for the bath edges, fine, but then there's around the taps. Pictures below, but there's a...

Hi all, Wondered if anyone had any advice on a lubricant for a sliding door mechanism in a bathroom? Got a Henderson Marathon (55 I think) set up, but it's rather dry and un-lubricated = horrific racket in the middle of the night when the missus needs to use the ensuite... Cheers

Firstly, new to the forum although I've been a casual reader for a while (since buying first property last Nov - yay!), so Hi! :mrgreen: I'm a bit perplexed; I'm looking to put some LED strips inside two new glass fronted wall cabinets, probably on the L&R sides right at the front; but I'm...
