Spray water onto the frame and anything else where you dont want to be cleaning excess foam off.....Once you have filled any gaps,spray foam with water again,as this will stop it expanding so much and will make it safe to touch without getting it all over your fingers...as its a nightmare to...

Funny shaped end is for driving the screw into the plastic without the need to drill a pilot hole first.and yes any stainless screw will do.

How long did you leave the door to dry before varnishing it...depending on what type of wood and the thickness of the door it can take 3 to 4 weeks for it to dry out fully. Even if it seems dry to the touch the middle of the wood could still be soaking wet,which if you paint or varnish too...

Don't remember saying I had installed new parquet floor.I think I said there was a new parquet floor in the dining room....you seem to read what you will into anything I post and then interpret that into what you think I might have said. MMM let me think.Inch battens .... so that would be a...

Maybe I am asking the wrong questions. What size cable would a professional electrician use in a normal 3 bed house if he were to wire a ring main for 2 rooms down stairs and 2 bedrooms with a small box room upstairs.(on separate rings) As a ring feeds the cable from both ends would there...

Thank you Ban-all-shed for your very detailed and informative reply....but maybe you should have read my post properly.....Nowhere did I put that I was planning to wire anything up....all I wanted to know was about 2.5 twin and earth and if the cable my friend gave me was suitable for a new ring...

Just bought our first house,got a good deal as it needs loads and loads of work doing to it. First thing first,had a look at electrics and wondered why any 3 bed house would need about 25 sockets in just the lounge and dining room. Turned power off and traced what I thought was a ring main to...

What prep did you do?...When you say stripped,do you mean with a hotair gun or dipped? Did you use white spirit to clean the surface before applying coats. Did you rub down between coats?(and use white spirit again?) How long did you leave it between coats? Did you take letter plate off and...

U value and the like are all ok but the deciding factor for me would be noise...ever been in a conservatory when it's raining? Glass is much less noisy than poly...unless you are already deaf,go for glass :-)

Bleach and then a bit of bi carb and a stiff scrubbing brush will work a treat.

Countersink the holes very ,very slightly and then use stelmax...make sure its warm first as it will come out of the tube better. Make sure your hands are totally clean and only put a small amount in the hole as it dries really fast. Wet a finger and smooth over before it dries. Cut the...

Post some photos. If you are filling over rotten timber you need to use a wood hardener or you are wasting your time. It will be much easier to advise you if you post a few photos up first though

Having the sashes draught proofed will decrease the noise more than having thicker glass. Plus it will help with heating and dust and dirt coming through the gaps all around the windows. Quicker to do the draught proofing as well,as changing the glass will mean having to wait at least a week...

http://www.libertygames.co.uk/store/table-tennis/indoor-table-tennis/table-tennis-bce-isd1173/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=Product_Search&utm_campaign=google_base Could you make it better than this with all the extras and make a profit....If the answer is yes,then go for it...If no...

http://www.duration.co.uk/FoldingSlidingDoors-HowToToeAndHeel.asp This should show you what to do....It's for a patio door but the principal is the same....You will need to take out the glass and panel and then put the panel back in first.

So it sounds like the door needs toe and heeling properly and then you will still have to adjust the plates that the cams lock into if you have a gap all the way down the handle side. If everything is level,upright and square changing the hinges to close a gap on the handle side won't close...

If the gap is on the handle side,why don't you adjust the plates that the cams lock into? Maybe I am missing something but if you change the hinges you will still have to adjust the plate on the handle side to close the gap...

Hi, Always used a 9" grinder for this. Loads of dust if you are going to use the grinder inside as well. I always cut the outside first,then take out the window then use battens and plastic sheet to make a false wall inside the room + a bit of masking tape and most of the dust should...

Hi, Fitted hundreds of window boards in conservatories etc and more than half of them were 200mm to 275mm...which were two boards joined together and I have never been back to any of them because they have moved in different directions.lol Sounds more like the person who told you it was...

I just did 9 for 4.5k.so you got a good deal. The whistling noise is probably coming from the gap where the sash sits against the parting bead...not much you can do to draft proof this area as the sashes need to be able to move up and down.
