    How can I fix a squeak on the stairs? They're wood stairs circa 1930s, so I assume something is loose. But there's nothing obvious. What should I be looking for?

    Install UPVC Window cills

    I recently got external rendering done and as a result the windows cills have been reduced and needs extending. I was thinking of putting a 9mm fascia capping board with various widths to create overhang of 40-50mm & fix it with silicone sealant. Metal sills are very expensive hence this option. I wanted to know which tradesmen can do this type of installation - carpenter / window person or general competent builder ? Also where I can look for such person please - I posted a job with photos but no response.

    Summer house dismantle/re-erect

    I'm wanting to take down and reerect a 10 x 6ft summer house. The thing is it has electric sockets, light and is boarded inside. The electric from what I can see it run from an outside plug so not underground. What would be the best way to go about it all? I've taken down many sheds so would imagine the house in itself would be the same process, but would the internal boards need removing first? Thanks
