A little top tip for those home DIYers. If you want to put some PTFE tape around a hard to reach place, wrap it around a screwdriver or pencil first. The example in the photo is adding to the packing material around a leaky stop tap. If you find your stop-top is leaking from the neck where you turn it, this quick fix can usually solve that.

I might have blogged a similar post before but i get a lot of issues arising from gates this time of year. Whether they bow out of shape of collapse completely from rot, it's a tough time of year for garden gates. If you need a repair or a custom gate making from scratch, i can take care of it.

The winter isn't over yet. If you have plastic or copper, get those pipes insulated before the next big freeze. You may not realise something has burst until the thaw after the freeze so it's always best to take preventative measures.


For all repairs and insulation solutions, get in touch.
