Probably quite a few questions on this but can't find what I'm after. I have a span of 6 metres to cover but I want to over hang the edges by 400-500mm on either side so now looking at a 7 metre span. This is covered by 3 100x100 posts across the span. Struggling to source timber either...

Hi, Currently digging out for a decking area in the sunniest spot of the garden. Unfortunately a drain sits in middle of it and I've decided to deck round it keeping the deck level with drain. I'll put a plant pot on it to disguise it a bit. Yesterday curiosity got better of me and decided to...

Hi All, I moved into my house about 2 years ago, and during the renovations I had an issue with the sub floor which was causing musty damp smells in the house. I narrowed this down to an area where all 3 service pipes came into the house, and it appeared the hole had collapsed and was letting...

I know we all say to avoid Carpet Right but I just can't believe what they are charging. I ordered carpet, underlay, grippers and door bars and got a good price for the lot. The quotation didn't include a break down of each item and as I was in a bit of a rush, I had only compared it to a...

I've had my upstairs all re plastered\painted and I'm down to the decorative bits - skirting, architrave, touching up door frames and new doors. The skirting I am OK with. However I'm at a bit of a loss with the architrave having never done it before. The plasterer has plastered over the wood...

Moved into a new house this year and had a fireplace with a gas fire. The gas fire has all been removed and I've been left with a brick opening to the fireplace, a black granite surround and a one piece black granite hearth. Inside the fireplace is a concrete slab which isn't connected to the...
