As you can see in the picture, there's a small area of our plaster fascia that's crumbled away. This happened some time ago and it hasn't deteriorated since. Plan to repair it myself and then re-finish the whole lot. Is there a particular plaster required? Thanks!

It's wood, not plasterboard. I'm not entirely sure, but looking from the inside yes it looks like the glass and edge of the wood meet. There's sealant been applied to the length of the window, but not the end (pictured). Agree this would cause issues! Plan is to do what I described above in...

No, I can't seem to add them for some reason. Link https://community.screwfix.com/threads/conservatory-roof-in-need-of-repair.281515/

Hi all As you can see from the pictures, the inside of our wooden conservatory window panels are flaking and moldy in places. I plan to... - remove the old sealant - sand them all back - re-prime (maybe with a mould primer) - sand again - repaint with a suitable paint (off-white satinwood or...

Hi all. Got a couple of spotlights on a circuit that aren't working. Bulbs are all ok. All the wiring is connected, so am unsure how best to identify the issue. I assume it's still the wiring, but aside from replacing everything, is there a better method to fix? Cheers vm

Hi all Is this cracked bit at the edge of my roof a problem? I know nothing about the name of it, if it's a problem, and if it needs to be attended to! We have a leaky gutter in the same place, so thinking of two birds with one stone Any help much appreciated!

Thanks so much all - it worked :)

Hi all I've got some rather dated spotlights I need to put back into their holes, but the 'arms' that hold the spotlight flush against the wall are a different style from what I'm used to, and I can't get them into the holes. I'm used to sprung arms that you hold flush against the light as you...

Thanks so much (y) Thermal store sounds like a plan

Hi all Our water cylinder (pictured) seems to be on it's last legs; it's just tripped the electrics and I'm not sure if it's still working or not. I had a plumber in a few weeks ago who noted a replacement cylinder would be a challenge because of its position in the middle of the house away...

I'll give it a bash, thanks very much!

Yes they're undone now. It allows the top halves to separate slightly, but they're still connected at the bottom

It's metal. I can't move anything anywhere atm. I agree though!

External light. Managed to remove the top, take out all the screws I can see. But I can't seem to separate the two 'halves' of the lantern. Tried unscrewing it from the little plate at the bottom, but it won't shift. Thought a bit of brute force might force them apart, but alas no Any help...

I feel fairly confident at resolving a fair number of household issues, but I can't figure out how to quickly replace this toilet seat! The connecting pins/brackets (shown on the attached picture) are set at a 45° angle, and I can't find a replacement that opens fully once installed. It doesn't...

Hi all Want to sand some primed kitchen units to a smooth finish, ready for final coat. Some of the decorative moulding has swirly shallow inlays (see pic). How best to finish-sand the edges? Just patience and a sanding sponge or sheet? Cheers

Great info cheers

Good point about the spraying. I've actually got a tacklife sprayer I could use, if it can deal with the satinwood/eggshell paint
