Got told by TP last week that they were struggling with 4x2 C24. Sent me 6m lengths as they were struggling to get 4.8,s (for the same price I might add). Still waiting for a few other less common (but not unusual) bits as well Mark

If it were me I wouldn’t try and fit it between the rafters in this situation. Would be incredibly frustrating to try and get it to fit and awkward to do. I’d fasten it underneath the rafters which would also be thermally more efficient mark

W2s Fakro does do non openers. Are you happy with the quality? I ask as I’ve never previously heard of them until today Mark

Hi all, I'm after a non opening roof window for a pitched garage roof, well 2 actually (plain clay tiles). I have experience of using/fitting velux in my old workshop however I don't think I can use velux here. There is a purlin in the way that would prevent me fitting the swinging part of...

I'm just finishing doing my house in that very stuff, i used the black mind. I followed the instructions and cut by hand with a hacksaw, it is laborious, no way around it unless you get the angle grinder out but having read the instructions I chose not to take the risk. For the outlets I cut...

Also interested in the answer to Fidgets Q above. And do you then mix it with the glyphosate or squirt the plant with both separately? You'ld never know I've got an a level in chemistry would you. Also the dilution rate for the glyphosate that AJB linked to anyone? Mark

W2S, I know what you mean, but the flowers are amazing when they bloom and provide privacy from the neighbours. They will need a heavy prune soon as they grow quickly. Obviously the brambles have their plus side with the fruit but there's so many around hear growing wild I don't need them in...

Thanks for all the replies. Will let you know how I get on mark

The brambles are (mainly) growing amongst Rhodedendrons. How do I apply to the leaves without spraying those (I want to keep them)? Bob, where do you get the second ingredient in your mix, AJB has linked to the first. Mark

So I think my neighbour has some old formula SBK. He cuts the stems and dabs the cut with the SBK. Or would you apply to the leaves. Same q for glyphosate/ammonium sulphamate? Mark

Anyone had any success with established brambles, how did you do it? Or do I just need to remain on the constant treadmill of digging out what I can when it appears? Advice greatfully received. Mark

Even in normal times theres always a shortage of something in the building trade. 3 years ago it was rigid insulation board. Before that it was blocks. Mark

AJB Sounds like you have a cash rather than a credit account if needing to get a refund straight away? I’ve a credit account but wouldn’t bother with the online ordering. My prices on there never match what I pay. Always ring the branch you want to do the delivery, find out when they can...

I've had mixed results with FFX. Some stuff has arrived no problem in good condition how it should. I've had a Fein arrive in the wrong box. They then sent a new one in the right box but the corner was bust. Was also offered about £30 discount but declined and got one not broken. Bit of a...

Hi there I have the same saw, older style Unisaw with Beismeyer fence. I bought mine second hand with the motor already swapped out for a UK 240v 50Hz 16 amp model. Mine came with the usual right hand extension and support rails etc, wheeled base, various splitters and guards, various...

Tyre man after previously confronting masked burglars with weapons breaking into my garage I’m up for a machine gun post On another note anyone know of a supplier of external fire door blanks with a hardwood core? Cheers Mark

Lons just had a quick look at external firedoor blanks. Can't see any with hardwood cores though all seem to be softwood with hardwood face, which is fine I guess. Some seem to state you need to apply a hardwood lipping after triming, whats your experience of this is it necessary if painting...

Trevanion I agree, I wouldn't pay that. Its also bigger than I want and in oak which I don't need, which is also why its no good to me. It was to illustrate the look I wanted and also the fact it looks solid rather than some of the ones I've seen on the various doors.com type websites (I just...

Afternoon folks, I'm after a new side door for my garage. Similar to the one in this link https://www.roundwood.com/product/64.aspx Due to a previous burglary I want it to feel and be nice and solid/strong. Seen a few flimsy looking ones but struggling with something that feels properly solid...

I dont think i ever saw the leaves. My builder turned up with them one day and said do you want these. Mark
