just take into consideration that the decking should really be below the DPC of the house. you can always step up to the pavement level

hi mate, all you have to do is level the ground , remove grass weeds etc and put down a membraine to prevent anything growing under the decking. i recommend the membraine area should be bigger by 2ft on each side you can cover this then with decoractive bark or stone , purely to stop...

what a mess! I have installed a few plasmas and what i always recommend is either ' cable chasing' or a false wall. cable chasing is where you cut a channel in the wall plaster lay the cables in and plaster back over to regain a smooth wall. a false wall would just be that , a false...

Hi guys, the guy next door is in the process of building a very large elevated decking area its approx 8 metres x 3 metres and 1.5 metres of ground level at is highest point. this is made worse by the fact that all the gardens in our street are on an incline and our house is lower than...

does actually do what its says mate! my kitchen laminate was a mess when we moved in , so i replaced and used that stuff ......we had a leak and the floor is ok.. i suspect if i hadnt of used that stuff then the water would have got into the joints and the laminate would have swollen on...

as long as you guys use the proper flexable adhesive, there should be no problem! man made boards like chip and mdf dont expand and shrink as much as real wood. Ive used the flexable adhesive loads of times so heres more advice.........clean up as you go along ! when set its a b*itch to get...

Hi guys , To cut a long storey short , I got a knotweed problem from some waste land behind my garden. I phoned the council and they said its not their land and they told me to go to the land registry office. i went there and they told me who the owner is , but unforntunatly the guy has...

Unfortunatly the Jap Knot weed from the waste land behind our house has crept into our garden. The section its growing in I have been levelling out for decking. Am I right in thinking if I cover this area with a thick UV resistant membraine and then cover with stone that the lack of light...
