hole

Hi everyone. I am trying to fit a tv to the wall and would very much appreciate some help. Upon getting a tv bracket and drilling into what i thought was a solid wall diving our living room and bedroom, the wall isnt a solid wall after all. I have 60mm of some material that is soft, plasteboard...

Hi there, This is my first post and have been searching the Internet for someone with a similar issue. I have opened up the fireplace and have removed an old metal Ash box which has left a large hole in the floor. I am looking for the best solution to help infill the hole which is around 20 x...

We have removed two 1000l underground water tanks from under the rotten decking in our garden. We are now stuck on how to fill them. My partner wants to break up a pile of bricks we have in the garden and use with sand that was under a brick patio we removed, however this appears to be just...

Hi everyone, We inherited a very large and deep hole in the garden. It is about 15 meters x 15 meters and about 1.5 meter deep. It was probably dug out with the intention of creating a large pond but just left there. We would like to fill it up so the final thing is a levelled garden, but would...

Hi everyone. About to paint our bedroom but there are worrying cracks/ holes above the window that I have been avoiding thinking about until now. I was going to fill them with polyfilla but having had a good look at them, they are worse than I originally thought. Any advice would be welcome...

At the base of the soil pipe leading to the drain, there is a hole in the concrete which reveals the main sewer pipe. What is the best way to repair the hole?

Help would be appreciated - what do I need to do here?

Hello, Hopefully a straightforward question (and hopefully I'm posting this in the right place), I have little to no DIY skills, but I'm working on it! We have an old Garage/Outbuilding that has been in a state of disrepair since long before we bought the house. We finally have a bit of time...

Hi all, I have taken the skirtings off a late 60s/early 70s building and in some areas there was damage caused by the nails as seen in the picture. I am filling these with a rapid set cement based mortar. The question I have is that there is a smooth, rubbery feeling black coating that...

I need to put a hole through the external wall for a kitchen extractor and there's already a couple of other holes in the vicinity. I can't find any regs or official guidance for how large a hole you can make and how far they should be from other holes, openings etc. Is anyone here aware of...

Should pilots be larger than the root of the screw? Thank you Dain

I want to move my shower's glass holder further, so that leaves the old hole in the tile, with a wall plug in it. How do I remove the wall plug, and how do I fill the tile with (beige) filler? Or, what filler do I use? Pictures attached.

I know curtain rails have been done to death on here, but I can't find anything specific for my query... I put a curtain rail up last year into a bay window. It is a fairly wide bay with large thermal curtains with lots of weight to them. Naturally the area above the window is peppered with...

Hi, I need to create a new hole for my washing machine waste pipe as it currently gets squashed by the built in dishwasher next to it. In photo attached current pipe goes through hole at the top and you can see is squashed. I need a hole like the lower one to feed the waste pipe through as I...

Easydrive seem to be a bit shy of providing hole spec.. The 6x100 have 6mm thread diameter, slightly unsurprisingly (with 4.8mm shank). They're going in to a concrete blockwork wall. Is there a general rule for hole sizes? Thank you Dain

It is not the case that the homeowner needs their own electrician present on the the day that the team arrive to relocate the meter. It appears that there is a certain discretion allowable.

Am getting my meters moved. 500 thk wall - made up of 100 conc. block, 50 void, 350 breeze. re the 38mm hole that takes the gas pipe (in a plastic duct) from the proposed wall mounted meter cab to a ground floor bathroom. Does this hole have to be drilled level? Or can it be drilled to falls...

Managed to get a small hole in the kitchen sink (see photo), which is leaking underneath. Unfortunately the sink can't be easily replaced as it's fully integrated within a granite worktop. Just wondering what's the best way to repair this? Would applying plumbers mait underneath the hole keep...

Hi Guys, I just nail gunned my skirting and architraves around the home and now would like to fill the small holes. I was contemplating using a ready filler such as Polyfilla all-purpose or Gyproc Easi-Fill as I have heard this is just as good. But I worry this is only for use on plaster...
