gaps

Hi, I'm in the process of getting an old roof redone in natural slate and am curious as to your opinion on its progress. It's not complete yet, with ridge tiling being the most obvious, but also the porch area. However, I feel the look isn't as uniform as I'd have expected, with several areas...

Hi Part of our garden is tiled, and there are a few steps up to the lawn. There is a gap between the floor tiles and the walls, you can probably just about see the gap in the attached picture (ignore debris and poor lighting). The gap, narrow as it is, exists all around the area at the...

I have put a small amount of parquet flooring down for the first time. It looks really nice, but annoyingly has a few small gaps around where the border and other pieces meet. What is the best way to fill these gaps so it is not noticable? I am reading that mixing sawdust with PVA is a big...

We just had our roof completely renewed from the boarding outwards, including re-tiling with marley roman roof tiles. I noticed, especially in the valleys, some big gaps between tiles not resting on the grove of the adjacent tile. You'll see on the photos a couple of these tiles where I can put...

Hi, I have recently lowered the ground level at the front of the property and discovered that the 'mortar has been washed out' over the years? Or has it? Are there supposed to be gaps or should I fill them? Would normal mortar mix be OK to do it? Thank you in advance.

Hi All, I would appreciate if anyone could advise me on what sort of filler would be the best to fill up those gaps between the stairs? Btw, I plan to strip off the paint and stain it. .

Hi, Please see photo attached. I have a large hole surrounding the pipework behind one of my bedroom radiators. What's the best method of filling this hole. Am I okay to use that expanding foam? Appreciate any advice.

Hi, going nuts here a bit. I'm trying to do the dims for my garden office and am doing 5x2 roof joists with firring strips on top for the pitch. I am doing 400mm centres, but this does not seem to work to get the end of the OSB (1220x2440) to end on half the joist. I've read somewhere you do...

I have a gap between my main house and double storey extension. Although I call it an extension I think it has been there since the house was built as every house on the street has the same layout. The gap is even all the way through and it is not wider at the top than the bottom. I wanted some...

Since we moved in starlings have always nested under the tiles however this spring they have managed to work their way into the loft. I am on having the tiles refitted by a roofer and the cement reworks so there is no gaps plus install an eaves comb filler. Question is after doing all that will...
