I’m considering making a pallet sofa. How can I make sure that pallets are safe and fit for this purpose? Should I apply anything to them before making the pallet sofa? Also would the pallet sofa last long, do you think? Thanks for your time.
Constant noise in my house like a humming and vibration noise
I have a noise that is constant in my house. Almost like a humming, vibrating noise. I have tried turning the boiler off and the fridge freezer and even turned all the electric off but the noise is still there and I haven't a clue where its coming from. Not sure if I'd need am electrician for this or a heating engineer I just want the noise found and sorted but not sure what trade is best. Hope I can get some help
Gutter cleaning a DIY job or not?
I’ve lived in my two-storey house for 6 years and I’ve never had the gutters cleared. My friend said I should get someone in to do it for me but I don’t know what the state of them is. I’m worried I’ll be wasting money hiring someone. Are there any tools I can buy to clear them from the ground (not good with heights) or should I bite the bullet and get someone in?
Noisy Washing Machine
I have a noisy washing machine. It’s almost like a grinding noise when it washes or spins. Any ideas? Many thanks
Paying a tradesperson
Can work by a tradesperson be paid for overtime? Must it be paid all at once or do some tradespersons/companies offer different options such as paying off the work monthly?
Build in wardrobe
How much roughly would it cost to build a wardrobe in a bedroom about 4 foot across by 8ft height
replacing a shower in rented housing
When it comes to renting, if I as a tenant would like to make some non-essential changes to my apartment (e.g. replace the shower), is it up to me to pay for the cost entirely? If a landlord approves of a shower upgrade, is he/she liable to help out with the payment to any extent or is it entirely up to me to cover the cost?
Lowering ground level
Hi, I've had a damp survey done on a house I'm in the process of buying and it has recommended that the ground is lowered at the back of the house to prevent water splashing from the patio tiles onto the walls (and hopefully exposing the air bricks so that the sub floor is ventilated). I think the job would involve slicing off some of the patio tiles, digging down to the appropriate depth, laying down a membrane and then filling in with gravel. I'm not sure which is the most appropriate trade to do this - would it be something a general handyman could do?
Handyman scams to look out for
What handyman scams should I be wary of? I’m in my eighties and I’m aware that scammers often target older people.
