Long story short, sparky 'forgot' to put in the wiring for the extractor hood/fan which sits above the hob and will be next to the cupboard shown, the walls already been boarded and plastered now aswell (happened to be away during this time otherwise i'd have noticed it straight away)...

My main pan-draw has 2 slide-out draws at the top, I am looking to get this Samsung induction hob - NZ84C6058FK Link to the hob It is a slim fit induction hob which i assume will then allow me to keep my 2 draws at the top because I believe in some normal worktop (mainly gas) hobs the top draw...

We are thinking about having around 55m2 of porcelain paving laid outside. the area that it will be laid upon is around 50% flagged and 50% turfed currently. I have managed to source the porcelain tiles myself for around £1,750 to cover 60m2 (just incase of any breakages). I just wanted to...

Guessing this isn't possible as it seems like way too much to take off either the top or bottom of the door? Missus wants to match all the doors in the house (LPD Carini), and we have a door which is like a 1½ sized door (widthwise) due to the house previously being altered for a wheelchair...

The current door that I have is an LPD Carini 762mm x 2040mm My existing doorframe is 762mm at the top and 755mm at the bottom so its about 7mm out. I also need to leave a 2-3mm gap inbetween which means I will have to roughly shave off about 10mm total. I was thinking that the best way to do...

Have a couple of hairline cracks in my SLC which has been laid for about a good 2 weeks now, i think it may have been due to foot traffic since the LVT has been delayed in being layed (scheduling issues with my flooring guy) room spans around 6m x 5m and its not tons of cracks just a few going...

Have ordered 8 LPD Carini doors which I plan to fit myself. Obviously i have bought the standard sizes and will cut them down to size, will take this to my local merchant who said he can cut down to size for me when they arrive. I'm just planning to keep the existing hinge locations so will...

Long story short, Plasterer didn't skim the ceiling in my cupboard (sliding doors) Have asked him to return to do it but he said he's finished and to just keep the remainder of what is owed on the amount as he's got another job to get on with. I actually probably wouldn't want to go with...

Decided to remove a part of a stairs which then also left a big chunk of missing plaster which is 4mm deep and around 10cm x 10cm. I've heard that skim should be around 3mm max, but is there a type of product that I could do 4mm? Or is it possible to use a 2mm and go over twice? Sorry never...

I put an original post before where I was asking if my newly bought oven would suffice on a 15amp normal plug. There were some 'possibly's' but mainly it was no due to safety. So i just spent the night with my cousin Routing through a 10mm² 44amp T+E cable from the garage to the kitchen...

Thinking of replacing the handles on my windows but because theres existing holes in the window I'd rather keep the new handles in the same position. Except I have never seen these types of screws before? Seems like there's just a hole in the middle, tried an Allen key and nothing seems to bite...

Mapei 3240 product spec says it can be used on timber. The only concern I have is that will it be too runny that it would just keep leaking down into a tiny crevice before it sets. Shall I make a thicker mix? It's basically the upstairs floorboard leading onto a step tread. It looks like...

So abit hard to explain, hence why I included pictures lol I have a floorboard which a random piece of it has snapped off and I'm sure it's because there was no actual support underneath it in the first place. It's an awkward shape and location where it is because it is essentially a full board...

Decided to go for some USB wall sockets which have USB-C and hence the actual depth of the socket itself is alot deeper than than usual and hence will not actually fit into the backbox. I'm not sure exactly what it is that I need but I think it could be something like this that I found online...

I'm 99% sure that I will need to upgrade the cabling in my kitchen for the new appliances that we have. The new built-in oven is 3600w max and the microwave is 1250w max, which is 4850w combined. I'm not sure if the cable required is just the maximum required for 1 appliance which would be the...

The floor is compromised of the original concrete slab, but then we had to add around 15mm depth of self-levelling to get the floor abit higher and level. we used - https://www.instarmac.co.uk/products/ultratile/levelling-compounds/prolevel-two-flexible-two-part-floor-leveller/ which is a...

The area that I am tiling is inside the bathroom, and then it will transition to carpet as we come out of the door. My tile is around 10mm thick, and will be using a 10mm notched trowel. I know that once you push the tile down it will compress the adhesive and overall thickness will be slightly...

Had a sample pack come in and neither of them seem to be the same/similar to my existing window gasket. Not sure if it might be a specific type. but any help would be appreciated if someone just randomly happens to know. Thank you Window seems to be an old aluminium double-glazed type (if...

Currently reaching the flooring stage in my bathroom and I know that I can't tile directly onto the floorboards. But if i want to tile the floor what would i best be putting down before i tile? The floorboards are relatively level with maybe 1mm variance here n there. Just wondering what...

so the oven that im looking at is the Samsung NV7B5750TAK https://www.samsung.com/uk/cooking-appliances/ovens/nv7000b-5series-dual-cook-flex-simple-steam-5series-dual-cook-flex-nv7b5750tak-u4/ On the first product review someone says "Everything you need in one compact oven - and works on a...
