    Builder not adhered to Building Regulations
    Builders - 10 answers

    I am wanting to know where I stand when a builder does not adhere to Building regulations? I have had a garage conversion done and the builder has not followed the architectural plans so now my conversion has not passed building regs and is unwilling to come and put the failures to rights. He is demanding the final payment for completion when the job has not been completed.

    Are paint pads better than using a normal paint roller for walls and ceilings?
    Painters & Decorators - 8 answers

    Hello I am undergoing some redecoration of a bedroom at the moment. Recently we have replastered the walls and applied a first coat to the walls. Afterwards, we will be applying a second coat to the walls, then some minor repainting work on the ceiling afterwards. I have been told that using paint pads can provide a more even finish and are less messy to use, than normal paint rollers. Has anyone had any past experience of using both to compare? An even coat is my main priority with this, so if I can manage this with less mess using the paint pads, I’ll be keen to try them out.

    What is the correct mortar mix for a brick BBQ?
    Bricklayers - 10 answers

    Hi all I am working on building my own brick barbecue at the moment. I have a completed base of concrete and now trying to sort a good mortar mix. I’ve been told to use a ratio of 6:2:1 of sand:lime:cement, but does not seem to have turned out as I had hoped which dries exceptionally quickly and does not bind with the bricks to stick together. Has anyone any advice or suggestions? Should I try a different ratio for the mix?

    What is the best way to clean or repair patches on stonework?
    Stoneworkers - 5 answers

    Hello I have stone walls for my house which have been damaged and eroded over time that may need refiling, with some small patches of decolourisation in some areas from erosion/damage over time. These are Bath stone walls specifically and, where possible, I would like to resolve this myself. Are there any suitable materials that I can use without damaging the stonework?

    Should I use Skirting Board Adhesive?
    Joiners - 10 answers

    Hi all, I’m looking to install skirting boards along my hallway walls. I have read some mixed messages about using some adhesives for skirting boards online and some recommending to instead have the skirting boards drilled in. Would adhesives be suitable enough for typical hallways? Is there any specific problems I should look out for if I went for the adhesive route? And are there any particular brands I should steer clear of for this? Currently, I have painted walls, which will be dry and there’s not likely much risk of damage day to day – if this makes a difference at all. I’d like to hear what others’ experiences have been using adhesives versus drilled in skirting boards.

    When my heating is on the pressure in my Valiant boiler rises to just over 2 Bar from just over 1. Is this normal? The boiler also occasionally cuts out when the heating is on. Is this normal or a simple repair or will it need new parts? Thanks.
