Should I use concrete or wood posts to support my decking frame? If I use concrete, how deep should they go in relation to how much of the post is out of the ground?
Traders on here have been very helpful in the past, hope you can be again. This question is in 2 parts really. I recently had a dry verge installed that was quoted at £650, and was then told that the felt behind the mortar had deteriorated badly so I needed 2 m of new felt and batten which would take 2 days. I was left with a bill for £2.5k, after the work was done in a day. Does this seem fair? The second part of this question is that the dry verge looks very wonky. My understanding is that it should look relatively flush and straight and shouldn't really deviate. Is this right? It looks worst at the peak of the roof where it appears to tilt away from the roof.
Pulley cord for bedroom light not pulling down Cord still on fitting on the ceiling, what could be wrong?
I would like to re-tile my bathroom with porcelain tiles on both the floor and wall. The tiles are 60x30cm. Currently, I have ceramic tiles on the walls. I have been told that if I remove the current tiles the plasterboard will need to be replaced, which is fine. However, today I was told that I cannot hang porcelain tiles directly onto plasterboard and I need to attach a Cement Backboard (sold by Topptiles) to the plasterboard and then hang the wall tiles. Is this correct?
Are there any government schemes for renovating my garden (at least partly) in the name of sustainability and being more eco-friendly?
I’m considering making a pallet sofa. How can I make sure that pallets are safe and fit for this purpose? Should I apply anything to them before making the pallet sofa? Also would the pallet sofa last long, do you think? Thanks for your time.
How can I tell how effective a fire-resistant plasterboard is? Is there, perhaps a scale of how resistant they are to fire?
I’m hoping to have a set of steps built into my garden from my back door which was previously a window (so no previous steps were in place). Height about meter or slightly less from ground level. I’m not wanting brick finish, I have some slabs which I would like to use if possible. How much would I need to budget? Which trades would I need?
Hi, I’m considering investing in solar panels but I want to know what the benefit of Solar panels is and what do they power in the house?
How far apart should I place the fridge-freezer and cooker in the kitchen? Are there any regulations or any guides to their placement?
