Hi all, wanting ideas for hard standing driveways. My front garden is currently half concreted (that's used as the driveway) and half grass garden. I wish to drop the kerb and have the whole front garden as hard standing driveway. I got quoted for tarmac, but think it will look a bit cr@p just...

sorted it in the end, I bought a drain cleaner adapter and attachment for the Karscher K2 , tried it up the gulley from manhole - no luck, gently prised open the top drain cover in the pic in my first post and stuffed the cable and attachment down it and it cleared within a few minutes.

thanks for your advice, no I'm not a landlord ,I've bought a house and this is what I've inherited. I can't afford a new bathroom or major work so was looking at advice for repairing the top part of the bath and fitting the panel around the pipe.

Looking for ideas on how to a) repair damaged top part of bath (see pic) and b) fit a new bath panel around the pipe going under the bath, are there any other ways apart from cutting a hole in the bath panel to allow for the pipe?

Ah right, so I need to replace grout basically

Hi, water was leaking from upstairs bathroom through the kitchen ceiling downstairs. I took the bath panel off and saw the water stains were running directly from the grouting lines of the tiles around the bath and shower. Would I need to totally re grout the tiling or has anyone used this...

Hi, I've recently moved to a new house with a boiler run by a British Gas UT2 panel. The heating comes on ok with the timer setting all the time but if I try another setting such as 'Continuously off' / 'continuously on' or 'Once' then they don't work and I have to leave it on the 'Timer'...
