So I had my bathroom completely refurbed, but I can’t get into the bleeding loft! Not sure what to do

Hi all, you’ve all been such great help with a lot of the stuff I’ve been tackling. Now my kitchen is probably the worst in the house... but as a temporary (a couple years, maybe 3) fix before I tear it down and start again. I’m thinking of plasterboarding over the bare bricks. I’ve just had a...

I’ll attach a video, could it be something to do with dust, as the chasing has been cut out from above and I know a lot of dust has got in there. Or is it just a lose connection, but it now happens with both switches. What is it?

I’ve got an issue. I’ve just had my lounge plastered. I want to sand and lacquer the floor. I can’t find the same T&G floor boards anywhere! I’ve tried reclamation centres, and the usual timber merchants. ... Anyways... I’ve bought some Red Pine boards that are the same thickness and I’ll...

Hi guys. I’m doing a kitchen “refresh” as I’m leaving the kitchen last on my first house. Anyways, I’m taking up the floor carpet tiles (yes, kitchen carpet ) and this tap is just sticking out of the floor. It’s in the part of the kitchen where it has had a small extension in 1950. Firstly does...

Just ripped up the carpet, can I sand down these floors and varnish them? Also as the chimney breast was here it looks as though it’ll need some new wood planks maybe? Or is this sub floor and I shouldn’t do it at all? There is quite a draft that comes up from the bay window side...

Hi all. I’ve (32m) just bought my first home, Finally! I’ve got a few things that need doing, which I’ll get some men in for, like the bathroom/kitchen etc. But one thing I’d love to tackle myself is the outhouse/garage/shed thing. As it is now, it’s about 6.5’ tall inside. I’d like to have it...
