    Step to back door

    Laminate Floor Step Edging

    Hi! Firstly... excuse the mess/dog hair.... it's a room not used much and am in the process of sorting it out. As you can see the step edging has literally disintegrated.

    Fixing gaps in a Concrete Door Step.

    I was wondering what forum readers would suggest to fill in horizontal gaps between a front door step and the door. They are not huge gaps. I think its just caused by shrinkage as the house is about 60 years old. I was thinking something along the lines of a mastic sealant as I want to be easy...

    Step onto patio

    Hi all, I'm doing a 2m wide patio around a new extension. There is a 5m wide bifold which needs a 100mm step down onto the finished level of the patio. I have put down the mot and have to compact it, but I'm wondering about footings for the step. Pavingexpert says you can lay brick and flag...

    Step crack in cellar wall

    I live in an 1890's end terrace which has a half cellar. The wall which separates the cellar has developed a step crack, spanning about 4ft in height. It follows the mortar, although one brick has split. The joints in the cellar are a little eroded at points, and I think the crack is perhaps...
