FAQs

How do you secure insulation to a wall?

You’ll need either adhesive or staples to secure insulation to a wall, depending on the type of insulation and wall surface. When attaching, ensure a secure fix and no gaps; you can seal the edges with tape for a complete barrier.

How do you hold insulation between joists?

To hold insulation between joists, cut the material slightly wider than the joist spacing to create a friction fit. Alternatively, use support wires, metal rods or wooden battens to hold it in place. Certain types of insulation can be stapled to the joists directly too. When fixing, make sure you leave no gaps.

How do you fix insulation that keeps falling down?

To fix your insulation in place, try using support wires or rods fixed perpendicular between the joists so that the material holds up. You can also staple or nail the insulation directly onto the battens to secure it firmly. If the material allows, try using suitable adhesives for extra security.

What is the best way to remove smells from a kitchen sink?

Unpleasant odours coming from your sink are usually caused by a build-up of food waste in the sink waste pipe. To remove odours and clean your sink’s waste pipe, start by pouring bicarbonate of soda down the drain, followed by vinegar. Allow the mixture to fizz while you boil the kettle. After roughly 10 minutes, pour the boiling water down the drain to flush out the sink. 

How do you clean a kitchen sink drain?

To effectively clean your kitchen sink drain, start by cleaning the outside of the drain using a cloth and household disinfectant. For a deeper clean, you can turn off your water and disconnect your sink’s waste pipe, using a cloth to clean the underside of the drain.

How do you seal a kitchen sink to a countertop?

To seal a kitchen sink to your countertop, first secure the sink in place and attach any taps or pipes. Then use a silicone sealant to run a bead of silicone along the back edge of the sink. Smooth down the sealant for a secure, watertight finish.
