Doors, Floors & Joinery

To hang an internal door, start by unscrewing your old door by taking out the screws from the bottom hinge before the top hinge. Then, you need to start by cutting the new door to size and check that your new hinges fit against the old ones on the frame. After that, you can start unscrewing the hinges from the door frame and laying them on the edge of the door, making sure that they’re all lined up. Finally, you can hang your new door by fixing the hinge flaps to the door frame.

We advise that you don’t trim more than 5mm per side of an internal fire door

To fix a Velux window to a tiled roof, you will need to start by replacing the sash in the frame. Do this by lining up the sash’s curved hinge with the slots on the frame. Check that the gap between the sash’s sides and the frame is even. If it is wider at the top than at the bottom, use a crowbar to pull the edge of the frame until the gap is even. Next, open the window and check that the gap between the sash and the frame is even. If not, place the black wedge from the flashing kit and put it in the upper bracket opposite the side with the wider gap. When you are happy with the adjustments, remove the sash again, and then screw in the remaining 10mm of the upper 30mm screws. Reinforce the upper brackets by screwing in 80mm screws. They should enter the battens and the rafter. After that, attach the underfelt collar by marking the transverse gutter’s position. After cutting a flap in the felt and adding sealant, you can position the collar around the frame. Stick the collar to the frame’s edges, and then staple it around the battens. Finally, attach the gutter and the fold to the underfelt collar into the gutter. Use the utility knife to cut away excess material, and then secure the flap with clips from the kit.

If your room is 10 metres long by 9 metres wide, you will need 90 metres square of laminate flooring. We recommend adding 10% to ensure any errors are accounted for.
