Ideally I'd knock it down and replace with a timber one. Unfortunately its connected to neighbours and we've just spunked a load of cash inside the house so it'll have to wait. Asbestos concrete roof on the bugger aswell. Quick fix to stop the water then maybe next year rip it down.

We'll be lucky, feels like it has rained non stop for months now. That good weather during lockdown seems so long ago!

Thanks for the advice Know what's needed now, waiting game for dry weather to get the job done i guess....could be a while up here in the Highlands!!

Sorry, thought I uploaded it but see its not there. Should be there now

Morning everyone, Looking for some advice re a concrete panel garage please. We recently bought this house and the detached garage appears in need of some maintenance. The sealant between the concrete panels appears to have cracked and chipped away in sections, which is letting in water...

Looking for some advice please. I have laid many laminate floors, but not in a kitchen with unit legs to negotiate with! In the 1st picture, how would you advise to cut laminate around the unit leg? I don't qant to leave a 10mm expansion gap at the side and front of unit leg as it would look...

H, We have just bought a new house and in the middle of extensive renovations inside and out. There is a long stone dyke wall running the entire length of back garden. Directly behind the wall is a low of large trees/hedging in the garden of the house behind. The people living in that address...

Hi, So we had a load bearing wall removed (by professionals, no chance I was trying that) a couple of years ago. This allowed us to have a kitchen/diner. Above the area where the wall was, is the bathroom. At the time of removal bathroom consisted of toilet, basin and shower cubicle with tiled...

Hi, So as I'm sure some of you understand, some women own a lot of shoes (the wife says she never has enough!!). Fed up of them taking up the two small shoe racks we had in the cupboard, I decided to refit the cupboard......surely that's enough space now??

Hi, Looking for some advice please. Unfortunately we live in an area where storage heating is the only option (without paying for an oil based CH system to be installed from scratch). Bought this house a few years back and only planning another year or so more before we move...

Hi everyone, Looking for some assistance in regards to my electric Albion water heater. The water heater seems to be running constantly. Is this normal? Only recently started having the heater switched on rather than using the boost option. Any help is appreciated.

I got a couple of coats on a 7.5 m2 wall, kitchen ceiling, couple of new plasterboard walls in house and still some left to give my father to use in their house. No ripples at all, flawless finish

This stuff worked wonders on a wall that was less than perfect. Roll it on nice and thick - you will be impressed.

I used this stuff on newly plastered walls and also on new plasterboard as a base before painting my (the wife's) colour of choice. Done a fair bit of decorating and will always use this from now on as a base. It seems to give a flawless finish. Used it on an old plastered wall that I had to...

It's a 2 gang switch to operate the lights. I don't have access at the moment but I'm replacing the plasterboard on ceiling so will have in the next few days. Thanks for the response.

Hi, Looking for some advice. As the attached picture shows we currently have 2 ceiling lights and I want to change this to a single centrally positioned light. Am i right in thinking that one of these likely feeds from the other and it would be a case of removing the wiring from the 2nd light...
