    Bumps on kitchen floor

    My kitchen floor has developed bumps. There is a concrete base which appears intact but a new (4 yr old) screed has cracked and 'erupted'. I have had it checked for damp and a builder has looked at it too and can't identify the cause.

    Can you install laminate flooring on stairs?

    Morning.. I understand that laminate can’t go over the bends on stairs but I want to replace the carpet with something else such as laminate. Is it an easy enough task for a DIYer to end up with a good looking finished product?

    Strengthen floor joists

    My surveyor has said I may need the joists in the upstairs bathroom strengthening as the floor is tilting towards the bath/wall. How much would that cost? And will I need to have the bath and flooring removed for this? Thank you!

    Gas (sulphur) type smell in cellar when it rains

    Hello, I have a problem with the house I have just bought where whenever is rains, there's a very strong gas type smell in my cellar - quite like sulfur. This smell spreads to the rest of the house and makes you feel nauseous. I have had a drainsman come out who did a CCTV inspection and there's no damage to the drains that should cause any problems. He said because the house has been empty for some time, I should run a hot bath full of bleach once or twice a week then pull the plug to help clean the drains in case this is what is causing the problem. I have tried this but it hasn't solved the problem. I was at the house last night and it was raining slightly outside and the smell was very strong. I have noticed the smell is worse if the rain is quite fine. I am lost as to where to go now to get this issue sorted. Can anybody point me in the right direction? Any help would be appreciated.
