DIY quick fix

Q: My bathroom has vinyl
flooring and I'd like to tile it.
However, the floor is somewhat
uneven. What can I do about it?
A: Depending on what the sub-floor
is, a self-levelling compound –
available from DIY stores – should
do the trick.
However, if it’s only slightly
uneven and you don't mind this, you
could tile over it as it is, using small
mosaic floor tiles because these will
undulate with the floor.
Roof checks
IF you have a flat roof and you
can access it safely, check regu-
larly that it's draining properly
and the guttering's not blocked
with leaves and other debris.
Flat roofs are particularly prone
to leaks, so keep an eye on it,
especially after a lot of rain and
melted snow like we've had
recently.
