    • When should I prune my large Birch tree?
    Tree Surgeons - 5 answers

    Hello I have a silver birch tree in my garden, adjacent to my house. It is getting quite tall and is getting very close to the gutter. I would like to get it trimmed down to a more reasonable size to reduce any risk of strong winds causing the tree to cause damage to my house. Is there a best suited time of the year to cut the top of the tree off? I am worried cutting it before or during winter may kill the tree, which I definitely don’t want. Any advice on this would be appreciated.

    Grommets in back boxes
    Electricians - 14 answers

    I am adding some extra sockets to the ring main in my bedroom. I have done this before and used open grommets in the back boxes to protect the cables. However I've seen in one diy book that we should only use blind grommets and cut a hole in them just big enough for the cable - apparently this is to hinder fire / smoke spreading in event of a fire. Is this correct?

    How many turns of PTFE tape for radiator joints?
    Plumbers - 9 answers

    Hi All, Can anybody tell me, how many turns of PTFE tape is required on radiator joints? I have been told that it should be 10 to 12 turns, but I usually use 3 to 5 turns of PTFE on CH joints which hasn’t been much of a problem to me so far. (Apart from an occasional leak on the first test anyway!) Thanks, Harry

    How do I fix low pressure on a cold water bathroom tap?
    Bathroom Specialists - 3 answers

    Hi all I have found my bathroom sink’s tap for cold water suddenly has very low pressure, yet the hot water tap in the sink runs fine. The baths’ taps are also running fine. Also, there is a mixer tap and I have a combi boiler setup. Does anyone have any idea how this has happened or how I can fix it? Or will I need to ring a plumber?

    Do I need a white coat over magnolia walls before repainting?
    Painters & Decorators - 12 answers

    Hello All, I have a number of walls which are currently painted magnolia and am currently considering repainting them in a light grey colour. Should I use white paint to prime the walls before the grey paint, or would I be able to go straight for covering the magnolia with light grey paint? Thanks, Gill

    Before tiling, should I apply 6mm Cement Board to the Floorboards?
    Tilers - 6 answers

    Hello, I have a total area of about 60m² to be tiled. There are old floorboards currently. I’m considering adding 6mm (1200 x 800) hardie backer cement board before tiling. What is best adhesive I can use for sticking the cement board to the old floorboards? Would tile adhesive be enough? Is there any recommended specialist glue type? Would the cement board need to be screwed in after laying it with the adhesive?

    Can I paint on new plaster?
    Painters & Decorators - 27 answers

    When painting on freshly layered plaster, how would be the best way for me to paint over the plaster without causing a mess or any problems to the paint/plaster later? The plaster is dry, but it has only been a few days since it has been completed. I’ve been advised that I could apply mist coats first to help seal the plaster – is this necessary, or should I just wait a little longer for the plaster to settle before painting?
