  • Should I glue and nail a new stair spindle in place?

    Do stair spindles need gluing and nailing in place or is there a wood glue that's strong enough to hold a spindle on its own?

    Hang internal doors to a metal frame

    I have recently moved into a council house, I don’t have a single door that closes properly and most don’t have handles. I really need to replace the bedroom doors, however the frames are metal with the hinges welded on. As I don’t own the house I really don’t want to go to the expense of replacing all the frames, is it possible to hang new doors onto the existing frame?

    Install UPVC Window cills

    I recently got external rendering done and as a result the windows cills have been reduced and needs extending. I was thinking of putting a 9mm fascia capping board with various widths to create overhang of 40-50mm & fix it with silicone sealant. Metal sills are very expensive hence this option. I wanted to know which tradesmen can do this type of installation - carpenter / window person or general competent builder ? Also where I can look for such person please - I posted a job with photos but no response.
