You were lucky. I tried that 3 years ago, but no discount. Wasn't a great experience to be honest, and looks like i need need to go back to them as one of the cylinders appears to be leaking...

A Shelly relay will allow remote (via app) control as well as a switch in the cottage for people there to use, it won't prevent a simple switch being used as well.

Anyone tried to re-calibrate a Huepar laser level? Mine had a bit of a fall resulting in it being out by a couple of mm per m. Couldn't find anything on t'internet other than only the manufacturer can calibrate, and looking inside it after disassembly there is nothing terribly obvious to make fine adjustments. So, feeling I'd nothing to loose I had a go with some hot glue to rebalance it, carefully applying blobs to the 'high' side. Manged to get it within 1mm at 7m, which will do well enough for what I need. Perhaps there is a proper way to do this, rather than my bodge...

Thanks for the suggestion. I phoned around a few places. Macblair have gypsum products, but just the rolls. Jp Corry do Siniat but also just carry the rolls. I did however manage to get something suitable today. It's a plastic unequal angle with paper bonded to it. Apparently hardly anyone buys it now and I was lucky to get it. Just put it on and really pleased with it so fat. Nice and straight, easy to fill around.

This Siniat GTEC stuff looks gd, tho I'm still to find somewhere in NI that sells it, or an equivalen. Any suggestions? Presumably it would be better than the rolls that have two strips of metal, but at at least I can get them online.

Can you get ones for fill and sand? I've seen some at 2 or 3 mm but surely they're for wet plater as would stick out too far? Unless possibly along the tapered edge but I can't always arrange that.

Hi folks Any advice on best method of doing external plasterboarded corners with tape/fill/sand? I've used paper tape before and the results were aesthetically good, but was very susceptible to chipping. Is the paper tape with a metal film good, or is there a more robust solution out there (that's not wet plastering)? Thanks

Hi folks With a floor slab for a garage / outbuilding to be poured next week I'm looking at bull floats. There appear to be different sizes available, 1200 x 300, 1200 x 200, 900 x 200, etc. Any advice on a good size to use on a 10m x 5m floor slab, or is it as much personal preference? Thanks

Hi folks Does anyone know, does the polypipe UG427 back inlet bottle gully come with a trap? In photos I find online it doesn't look like it, which seems strange? Thanks

Having a read through the relevant pages of the pavingexpert.com website would be a good starting point, if you haven't already. I was going to post a link, but can't seem to get onto that site right now for some reason...

Wasn't until I did this that I realised just green it had got in only 3 years!

Just report back, I looked for algon but our local place had patio magic so trued that. Did a test area and was very impressed with the results. 5l diluted as per the instructions applied with a weed sprayer did the whole house. The photo shows the test area after 3 days.

Hi folks I've couple of garden walls built from concrete block to render, and would like them to match the house. The house (also concrete block) I believe was done with the following, and appears to be a good job. Weberend aid Weberend MPR Weber PR310 Webersil TF There is a good bit of Weberend MPR left over, but I am wondering if the Weberend aid and PR310 are really necessary for an 800mm high garden wall? I guess a lot of folks would just sand/cement render and paint, but I have the MPR and want to match the house. Thanks

Thanks for the replies and suggestions. I had tried diluted bleach but it had no effect, it may have been too weak a mix though.

Hi folks Any recommendations for something to spray on render to get rid of green algae? It's a white thin coat Weber render. Plenty of trees near by so guess I'll be doing this every couple of years... Thanks
