  • Making the garden cosy with lights?

    Hi, I’ve got questions about putting up lights in the garden. 1. What’s the safest way to string up lights in a small tree? We’re talking 12ft high. 2. Will old outdoor xmas lights work? 3. How can I hide the wire between the garage and the tree safely?

    Filling old socket hole

    As part of my new kitchen I've had an old socket removed which has left a hole about 6 inch by 7 inch and 1.5 inches deep, and the box is still in it. This wall is going to be tiled, but what's the best way to fill the hole ready for tiling? Can I use foam and poyfilla or is this something for a plasterer?

    Is it possible to have a church-styled window installed?

    Is it possible to have a church-styled window installed at the front of my converted loft space (thus facing out from the front of the property at the top)? Will I need special approval for this? I want to change the style of the window of course but also the shape to a sword-tip shape like that of a cathedral. I want it to be colourful and to feature an in-depth design.
