  • Johnstone’s Garden Colours on Decking

    Hi, I have used Johnstone’s Garden Colours paint on my decking without realising that it was not suitable until after completing the first coat. Will I be able to paint over this with a proper decking paint it will the new product fail over time because the Johnstone’s product is underneath? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks All

    Advice on using a rotavator and roller

    I have a light-duty garden rotavator which I am planning to put to use on my lawn sometime in the spring, maybe February or March, depending on what the weather is like. I’m also thinking of buying a lawn roller at some stage. Should I wait a certain period of time between using a rotavator and lawn roller in my garden? Also, should I consider using a roller before rotavating instead?

    Quote for dishwasher installation

    Hi, I'm looking for quotes for dishwasher installation. The set-up is simple I think: freestanding unit, within 1m of sink (there's a narrow under-counter cupboard in between) and with an electrical socket within easy reach, but there hasn't been a dishwasher there before (area under the counter where the dishwasher will go is clear -- it's just an empty space currently). I'm in Nottingham, UK. Grateful for any advice.
