I need to change over an old mixer/shower head on the bath. The bath is original for the house so nearly 20 years old. Are distances between holes likely to be suitable for tap sets available today?

I've posted about minor amounts of water after the big rainfall last week. I intended to sort the area as its a bit of a dead area around a raised bed I put in. I'd like to build a more level base with Type1 and then shingle on top in this area and around the bed. Will the drainage issues...

I've recently had to dig to sort out some new fence posts in an area of my garden, the gravel boards needed to go down about 100m so ground seen in pics needs to raise up a bit. Also ive not replaced a shed load of shingle my lovely neighbour had covering the pipe that drains off. I must have...

Hi, I've used dulux satinwood oil based on this but accidents will happen and it got scraped chipped. I've got half a tin of water based I used elsewhere available to use. Would I be asking for trouble if I primed then used the Waterbased stuff on this section? Or would it be better to do...

Hi, I'm looking at a cover for my horrible wheelie bins that need to get put in the garden. I initially thought of putting a concrete base down, but not sure that's really suitable with the paving slabs next to them. Also I need to get the bins manoeuvred in/out easily. I also wonder if I can...

Will these get through a concrete floor for toilet screws? https://www.screwfix.com/p/erbauer-straight-shank-masonry-drill-bit-set-5-pieces/9449v Not sure if its my drill not man enough and I need an SDS.

Got a brand new integrated Bosch 4 series that lost power, called Bosch out and this was due to wiring, I found this strange, rewired the flex plate and it worked. It's just happened again mid cycle, dead power gone. Anyone seen this before?

Easy to do for someone like me wanting to forget DIY and enjoy the BH. Put sill in with foam, but even though i thought I'd held it long enough clearly it hadn't set as it's not completely level and slants forward a bit. Do I cut this out ( if yes how) and start again or as its under a blind...

Hi, What would be the best Osmo oil for Oak Veneer doors? I've used Osmo in the past on the other doors i've got but chucked the tin and can't remember if it was Polyx i'd bought. I've got a matt finish from previous work done similar to the untreated door at the moment. Thanks

Hi, Just installed one of these and it is not getting below 10 degrees so something must be wrong here. It's brand new, in a standard cabinet depth with 50mm behind the FF. Anybody had similar issues?

Opened up about a two year old tin of Dulux diamond Matt I had mixed up and it had these weird clumps of blue stuff within it. I mixed it up out the tin and it was fine so just curious here what it might had been?

Hi, Got this in hall kitchen and downstairs toilet. Do I seal edges under cabs, washing machine section, dishwasher etc? If yes what is recommended? I see quickstep do a silicon? https://www.wood2u.co.uk/quick-step-hydrokit-310ml.html

I've got a small microbore fed radiator that just won't shift that I need to take off to decorate behind. Trouble is its in a very tight spot. I've tried hammer lightly with spanner attached. Anything else I can do bar draining down and adding new valves.

Hi, I think with a new kitchen and ever increasing scale on my kettle I should get a water softener. I have the following pipework in the image here; I've read you need external to bypass the softener...and it may be best to have some hard water on at least one sink internally (this would be...

Hi all, Looking at old school batons for under my cabs but getting OCD and want something less visible under the pelmets. With the strips where do you install your transformer?
