Thankfully not an electric shock :lol: Went up into my loft for the first time at the weekend as I'd like to move the loft access hatch, upon entering the loft I was met with a mess of wires and building rubbish presumably left from previous tradesmen; The previous owners had Sky; maybe...

We moved house just under a year ago (the house was built in 2004), since then it seems other than painting the walls, nothing in the house has been changed. The en-suite to the master bedroom had plain 6inch x 12inch white tiles around the shower tray and just above the sink which were...

Quick question: could you use "no more ply" on top of chipboard flooring rather than 18mm ply to give a solid base for a stone resin tray?

Hi all, I'm looking at wooden worktops for our kitchen, I've noticed a massive variation in prices from store to store. I'm guessing this is due to the quality of the wood used for the worktop. Is there a "good" supplier to use and what is the real world difference? Pricewise, I'm...
