  • k rend issues - use it or not?

    I'm looking to have my house rendered. I live 1/2 a mile from the sea with a prevailing wind to my gable end. I like the modern look of k-rend or parex or webber but I am really concerned about the discolouration and staining of this stuff that you see EVERYWHERE you go. I am told that a particular paint is needed and should be applied soon after render is applied? What is this paint? By who? Or is there any other render or system that could be recommended? Thanks very much

    How to fix a dripping kitchen tap?

    It’s a mixer tap but only the hot tap drips. Cold is fine. You have to turn the hot tap handle really tight to stop it and then it’s a pain to turn back on next time.

    Can I use an electric free-standing oven with a normal plug socket?

    Hello I am living in a property currently which does not feature a fitted oven and does not seem to have any specific points for a cooker to be attached currently. In the meantime, would it be acceptable for me to use a free-standing electric oven using a sole plug socket or would I need an electrician to fit the oven in by some special electrical point? Any advice would be appreciated! Many Thanks!

    Painting inside of home

    Am I best using neutral or bright colours to paint the inside of my home? What might it depend on, aside from personal preferences? How can I balance these colours well? Should they be mixed up from room to room or is it better just to use pretty much the same types of colours either way?

    Converting a conservatory to an extension

    I have a conservatory with dwarf walls, I am looking to make this a full extension. I understand the footings may not be deep enough, what is the best way to get them to the correct depth? I am happy to take down the dwarf walls but don't really want to disturb the current flooring as its a finished floor and plumbing is installed so looking to keep extension same size as current conservatory just bricking up walls, adding bi folding doors and a solid roof. Thanks
