Hi Alex I have just sealed a floor in a conservatory and I used a product called DryBase, its a liquid DPM and I found it to be a great product! I put down three coats and formed a tank up two bricks. One 5ltr can will do 4.5 square mtrs. I bought two 5ltr cans but only need the one, its...

Hi there, yes hate to be the bringer of bad news but it sounds like you have a virus infection on your conifer. I did know the name but it escapes me...its transmitted by an aphid which infects the tree while feeding on the tree sap. I have a long conifer hedge which was a picture till last...

Building a 600mm dwarf wall ready for conservatory, do I need to include air bricks in the construction? I am getting conflicting advice so any help would be much appreciated! Thanks

I fully agree James, why anyone would go to Comet, Currys etc beats me!! They are best for customer service, they even add an extra yrs warranty on any dvd player, excellent!
