Literally all it took! Just slid it over a bit and on it went. I way overthought this. Thanks!

I took a couple of radiators off last week to redecorate. One has gone back on fine but the other I am having trouble with on the non-thermostat side. I'm not sure if the radiator has just been rehung at a very slight angle and the pipe is coming at it at not quite 90 degrees or if, as it seems...

Thanks. I feared I would probably have to go for the brick. Well I guestimate it to be about 2-3cm thick so not the worst. I guess I'll have to shove the plug down through the render and into the brick with a pencil or something. Or I use a long plug that includes the depth of the render as well...

I bought a house which has a lot of cladding around the back. I hope that's the right term. Personally I find it ugly and wish it still had just the red brick underneath but it is what it is. I don't know exactly what you call this - I don't think it's pebbledash as I don't think they're any...

I think probably I'll just lay a few pieces of wood over the block. If they rise above the level of the others slightly I'll just plane them down a little. Seems even simpler than cementing it in. Think I should have got him to do that at the time.

So the main outstanding question I have now is what sort of floor leveller or cement should I use? It's about 1cm deep for the most part. Maybe a little over in places. Do I just fill up the gap beneath the skirting with something so it doesn't seep through and then pour it over the block and to...

Ah. Yes. That would have been much better. The mount was semi-hidden under the old floor and it honestly didn't occur to me. When they had the old floor up and were replacing the joists I could see it but he never mentioned it as a concern and I didn't think to ask. So, now that this is the...

So the full background is that I bought this house and the survey came back with damp so in addition to doing damp-proofing in the walls, we took up the floor and replaced some of the joists and put down new boards. The kitchen definitely had rot, this room wasn't as bad but hard to tell until...

Hi. Very limited experience here. I recently paid someone to put down new boards and joists due to damp. They left it like this over the old fireplace block. I don't know if that's a normal way to leave it or not. I'd expected him to board over it and had never really thought to raise the...
