  • Efficient electric heating options

    What are the most efficient electric heating systems available for small homes? We're well insulated but the storage heaters need an upgrade. We're selling our home soon, so it needs to be reasonably priced yet add value to our home and potentially improve our EPC rating.

    Cost of close board fencing per metre

    Will extra bits like posts, gravel boards or removal of old fence add much to the per-metre price? I know the panels themselves have a price, but I’m not sure how tradespeople usually factor in the other bits you need to do a proper job.

    What can I use for storage in my shower?

    How can we create durable shower shelves for shampoo bottles etc? I'm worried if we screw in a metal shelf it will eventually rust and I'm not keen on the ones that stick on with suckers.

    Is plastering hard compared to other DIY jobs?

    I have some time off this xmas and looking for a project to keep myself busy. I've always been a bit intimidated to give plastering a shot, as everyone says it's easy to mess up. Is this really the case?

    Making a door plumb on one side

    Hi I need advice on how I can make the handle side of the door frame plumb/square without disturbing the newly plastered wall on the inside of the room as I’ve painted the walls and glued the new architrave? I have access to the frame on other side but as I’m putting jams behind it’s just twisting it 😞it measures 30 inches at the top and 30 & 3/4 at the bottom. Im finding it hard to get a door to fit and don’t really want to buy a bigger door and have to trim it down. Can I add more lining to make it smaller maybe? or is there a way I can do it from the one side to push the bottom inward 3/4 of an inch? All advice will be very much appreciated
