    Paint / waterproofer for wood in a shower - advice please!

    Hi, I've had a search but haven't come up with much. The shower end of my bath has an awkward angle in the wall, so to fit a shower screen I've had to make up a baton that fitted flat to the wall (much planing and getting the angle right, and realising how wonky the tiles were!) and gave a...

    Running cables behind plasterboard walls

    Hi, I admit that this is my first post and it's a real newbie question, for which I'm sorry; if my question is easily answered by an FAQ or other post, please point me towards it. I've had a couple of quick searches and short of downloading Part P and digesting all of it I can't find a...
