    Anthracite grey fascias/soffits/guttering/windows

    Anyone else notice this is being done to death? It’s like the new thing. I’m undecided.... saw a nice row of terraced houses today all in white with white windows and then...BANG, looked like Lord Vader had taken residence. On a 5 bed detached with the right kind of roof tiles maybe but on...

    Anyone near Fichampstead change a stopend for me?

    We did a full house of Fascias in Fichampstead. Looks like when we fitted a stopend either the rubber kinked or a bit of dirt in the seal has caused a little drip. I'll have a new stopend sent to the house. You just need a set of double ladders. If anyone interested message me when and how...

    Shared cocks

    I live in a semi. I don't have a water meter (I'm not sure why) but I know my neighbour does. Neighbour had a burst pipe under his drive yesterday, he's digging up his gravel drive as we speak to repair the leak on the lead pipe. The thing is, when he turns his stopcock off my water is turned...

    Lawn/ground soft and soggy in the corner

    Hi this is my garden not looking too great as winter. When we bought the house it was a mess so we levelled it and turfed it about 4 years ago. However as flat as I could do it, water has always accumulated in the bottom corner and it's soggy as anything, and it's right next to the gate too so...

    Mock Tudor Boards

    Just when you think they'd invented everything in plastic, a company in Telford are making this stuff out of Polyeurthane. We've fitted quite a few in black but have recently installed this Rosewwood job. Pretty impressive with the grain and those pegs. 8)

    Help with coping stone things

    I don't normally deal with this but a good friend has asked me to have a quick look at one of his coping stones (I don't know the technical term for them) The front of house pic shows the general layout of them and the other pics show that the bottom one has slipped down about 3 inches. He...

    Movement detector on/off light switch

    We have a corner sofa in our lounge with a floor lamp behind the sofa in the corner that's plugged into a socket nearby. To turn the light off and on I have to scramble onto the sofa and lean over to press the light switch which is one of those floor mounted press stud things. I know I can...

    Kung fu hamster

    On Xmas Eve I was shopping with my daughter and saw a whole load of Kung fu hamsters where you press his hand and he sings. For a laugh I lined up about 30 of them and pressed their hands as quick as I could so they were all going off on one. It was that loud that quite a few people looked...

    Will shrubs grow in a sand based planter?

    I have a large rectangular planter at the bottom of my garden full of sand. I want to turn it into a shrub area but will take hours to remove all the sand. Is it ok to get the majority of the sand out and top up with soil and compost? So if we said there would be about a foot of sand left...
