Good evening All, Looking to seal these gaps created where the lean-to glazing bars are resting on the supporting timber batons, in order to block out noise and cold - seeking suggestions how best to go about it? Many thanks.

Good afternoon All, would you have any ideas how best to remediate this issue where the plasterboard overlaps with the stairs? Pretty poor finish visible. Images attached. Many thanks.

Thanks All. For option 3 it'd be about 6 metres of channeling through the ceilings of 2 rooms to get under the stairs, hopefully bearable as both rooms ultimately getting redone. For option 2 I'd be a little concerned about cupboard space in order to fit the new CU. The electricity meter could...

Hi All, In the midst of an extension project and the electrician has stated that the current CU (photos attached) cannot be used. 3 options on the table, in order of increasing complexity / cost... New, separate dedicated CU located in a cupboard in the vicinity of the extension Upgrade the...

Thanks very much.

Hi All, seeing a horrible brown leak from the Hotpoint fridge freezer which has been getting steadily worse. Difficult to pinpoint the source. Would anyone be able to assist? Thank you.

Hi, looking for an appropriate tree to plant in the raised bed to achieve privacy. Fence is 2m high and ideally need the tree to reach a height of 3-3.5m. The width of the bed is 65cm and depth is around 45-50cm. The area is susceptible to strong winds an I am conscious the bed needs to be deep...

Sorry for lack of conciseness, I mean open fireplace..

Hello, just looking for ideas on what would be required to bring this fireplace back to life as a working fireplace. We are getting the room plastered at the moment so I’m wondering if there is anything the plasterer should be doing now? Or are there any other recommended steps before he takes...

Hi All, We have inherited approx 28 m2 of cherrywood floors as per attached image. It is not our style, however it has been very well-laid and is solid wood. Other than lifting it and selling it what would our options be to keep the flooring but change the look of it? Thank you in advance.

Hi All, we've noticed our Leylandii hedge is going brown. Please see photo. Reading RHS, it appears we made an error in trimming it in during the recent hot dry spell. Given the privacy and security it provides we cannot afford for it to die. Apart from watering and compost/mulch can anyone...

Hi All, will this conifer eventually regenerate to its former glory? We are not particularly thrilled with the tree surgeon's pruning work! Cheers. Before: Now:

Hi All, Our 1900s loft has original floorboards (which is a little odd) but no insulation beneath as per photos. The depth between joists is about 170mm. Assuming our requirements are simply to insulate the loft to modern standards while retaining storage space, are these our options? 1) Lift...

Thanks handymanjo and everyone, I am pleased to report this worked fine.

Thanks very much everyone, yes sparkymarka, that is exactly what my alarm looks like. The key turns the alarm on and off as far as I am aware - as per photo there are FULL, PARTIAL or OFF modes. If the key acts the same as a code then the key should in theory disable the tamper alarm but the...

I have inherited an Omega 5 alarm. I have the key but I do not have the code or engineer code. It is not possible to obtain these. My decorator needs to temporarily remove one sensor from the wall. I am worried it will trigger the tamper alarm and, having read the manual, the key will not be...

All, We are very keen to save this tree but not sure how best to go about it it? Any advice would be much appreciated. Sorry for the newbie question. Thank you in advance.

All, I naively dragged a very heavy bag of bricks down my front path and it seems to have done some damage (see pale white streak in photo). I have tried a path cleaner but no joy. Aside from replacing the bricks, does anyone know any way to 'fix' this? Thank you.
