Attach a wooden gate to red brick wall (2 skins)

Hello,
I am going to be putting a 4 ft access gate to the front garden up. The gap where it's going is the ends of 2 garden walls.
What's the best secure way to attach it to the red brick wall to prevent causing damage to the brick wall?
Is it best to go through mortar or the brick itself?
Thankyou

Cleaning and protecting garden walls

Hey guys, So I have recently had a garden wall build of red bricks. It had been falling apart due to either excessive cold weather or because the builder is a moron and can't actually build but that's for another day. I'm going to rebuild and I want to clean it of algae and white patches.... Acidity...

UPVC DOORS

Please help, I have been trying to stop the draft from my Uvpc double doors on the south facing garden. It's really windy on the back and so i can't help but get drafts because of the doors. I have tried new rubber strip gaskets, adding foam strips on top of the gaskets to seal the evident gap and e...

Cold understairs cupboard

Hi,
I wondered if you can help me at all. The space under my stairs which has a internal door on is freezing cold... Or much colder than the living room... Why is this and how can I make it warmer please?
Thankyou

Re: Hanging glazedoak vanner door with solid interior door

Sure thing..... Will it just fall out if I do cut too short? What's the best way to get it back in and secure it? Thanks

Re: New radiator replacement

Also the radiator I'm changing happens to be the end one in the loop system so can I just isolate and drain this one without draining the whole system?

Re: New radiator replacement

Hi, Sorry it's double to double but the design is slightly different. I was going to keep the elbows and just cut and connect the straight horizontal pipe to extend to the left. Probably hang the rad on one existing bracket then place new one wider.... In this case maybe 20cm out to left also. Conne...

Hanging glazedoak vanner door with solid interior door

Is it best to use 2 or 3 hinges to hang my door. It's about 23kg and glazed... The previous door was paneled only and about 13kgs. I just don't want to chisel and damage the door and frame more than I have too. Also the height is quite reduced meaning I might have to take off more than the recommend...

Re: New radiator replacement

Hi housediy Assuming you know how to drain and refill your system, you will need extra pipe and some fittings - suggest you use tectite push fit ones. Cut off the existing elbows, fit the new radiator and connect up the pipes to new valves on the radiator. If you make the extra 20cm one end you wil...
