No. It’s concrete

No, I don’t need them. I want to plaster over.

Hi there, I’m renovating my spare room and need to remove a double of plug sockets and a pull cord light fixture. Ideally, I’d like to remove the sockets and push the wires back up into the ceiling and walls, but how do I make things safe? Surely it can’t be as easy as fitting a few terminal...

Just over 1 meter across the door, just over 2 meters spanning the gap. If i used gallow brackets the doors would hit them when opened and pinned back in the summer.

The doors are open facing

Hi all, I’m about to undertake a small diy project. I’m looking to build a small flat roof to bridge an area over my patio that will connect my brick shed entrance to my house wall but wanted some advice before I start. UPDATE: So I’ve built the canopy and now it’s time to apply the felt. How...

I just checked my measurements again. I only have a 10cm clearance between the top of the unit andvthe ceiling instead of the recommended 15. Nuts. It does day “recommended” though, so perhaps the 10 is permissible?

So I have an air conditioning unit i intend to fit. https://www.appliancesdirect.co.uk/p/iqool9/electriq-iqool9-air-conditioner The instructions specify very clearly the distances from the adjacent walls and a 15cm clearance from the top of the unit to the ceiling. It also says that the unit...

It’s a cream coloured acrylic splashback. If i use a clear silicone on the corner the gap would show through.

Ok, thanks very much.

Ok, and that would be acceptable? It wouldn’t be a bodge or anything to seal the internal corner?

So it’s quite normal to seal the internal corner with mastic? I just want to be absolutely sure since the YouTube videos I’ve watched always end with when they have stuck the panels to the walls. You never see them sealing with mastic, and in the one instance they did the guy used a clear mastic...

I’m really not sure which forum to place this question, hope I’ve picked correctly... I’m installing a splashback for the first time, two panels. Where the panels meet there is a gap where the wall is not square. What should i do? Should i run mastic up the corner edge? Are splashbacks meant...

Cool, thanks.

What’s that?

It’s a different job. No cupboards involved here.

Putting plasterboard over the ply isn’t really an option. The plasterboard would jut out from the wall. Obviously i need a flush finish. The rail system sounds like a good idea, I just hope It lines up with the studwork on either end. I intend to hang cupboards right across the wall, so there...

Guys, thank you so much! I can’t believe the cowboys moany I'm buying my units from didn’t tell me about these.
