Hi lovely DIY helpers! I have done a lot of tiling in my time as a lover of DIY but never onto a surface like this of my sister’s kitchen. Removing the old tiles has left an uneven and very mixed surface. When I’ve finished removing all the old tiles, I just want to tile to where the old tiles...

Hi, looking for some advice for a bathroom wall that needs tiling. Top half of the wall is wallpaper on flat decent plaster, the bottom half was tiled. When I’ve taken the tile off there’s a lot of cement like material (possibly old adhesive). This is around 1/2” tick, more in places and...

I installed a loft hatch today, and in the process found that the joists on either side are at different heights, an entire inch apart! I'm looking to board out the loft in the new year, with 2x4's across the existing joists and insulate and all that good stuff, but now I've to work out how to...
