Re: Decking needs a power wash, help!

Thank you very much! Have never heard of it. Much better than having to store something I probably won't use very often.

sash windpws need key operated locks for insurance?

My house contents insurer has just added “minimum standards of security” conditions to our renewal policy which now states that we must have key operated locking devices on all accessible windows.

Wallpaper ideas please.

Does anyone have any suggestions for where to go to look at wallpapers. I know that practically, painted walls are better for families but I am a bit bored of painted walls everywhere and was thinking about the occasional roll of paper, maybe for the downstairs cloakroom and our bedroom? Have had a ...

Kitchen scissors - good brand suggestion?

Strange request, apologies! Not sure if ours are getting ruined opening online shopping packages but I have thrown 2 pairs of kitchen scissors out in the last couple of months. Thought I would ask to see if anyone can recommend a decent brand.

Desparately need a bin shed!

So fed up of foxes and the mess that they make when they get into our bins. Does anyone have a bespoke bin shed and can recommend a company to build one or alternatively, a company to buy one from. Thanks so much.

Re: Decent dinner party wine?

Agree with Chorister The Wine Twit is great as is Philglass and Swiggot. But, if you cant get there, I usually offer Malbec for red and White Burgundy for white with Sauternes for pudding wine (if you are going that far!) these will be great with most things. Waitrose is also very good and has a gre...

How to clean floor tile grout?

Is there any way to clean floor tile grouting without having to redo it? Any machine or tradesperson that might specialise in such a thing? We have a pale kitchen floor with off white  :roll: grouting. Perfect before a dog! Not so perfect now. Would love any contacts or product suggestions?

People taking bike shed spaces who don't cycle just store.

Could anyone explain to me how allocation of a space in the cycle shed on the street works? I'm assuming that it is first come fist served but do people lose their spaces if they aren't actively using their bikes? And how are the bike sheds policed? For example there are bikes being stored (they are...

Re: Fox in through bedroom window last night

Has this been reported to the council? I am confused as to why they don't do anything about the fox infestation? Our household experience is limited to bin mess but this is another level and potentially very dangerous. Glad that everyone involved is OK.
