Hello, I’m in the stages of planning a loft conversion. It’s not a huge loft and will probably only fit a desk and will be used for storage. I was advised to install two velux windows as to start with so at least we can get some light. I will need separate staircase going into the loft, for which there is space to do so - would I need an architect to draw all this up?
I have added a new double socket above an original one, and now it's time to plaster in the gap (which was used to get cables in), but do I need to trunk the wires before plaster them? I get mixed answers on this topic. And if so, what sort of trunking should use. Thank you!
Hello, I recently purchased a 2 bedroom downstairs flat. The central heating system runs around the bottom of the floor all around the flat at just above skirting board level. The system works fine and recently had a new boiler but I think the copper pipes are ugly and i'm just wondering if i can get a carpenter/joiner to box them in? How much should i expect it to cost? I need about 15-20 metres in total, boxed in and painted. Thanks
I have had some slate tiles fall from my roof recently due to weather and general ageing. Some of the tiles are barely damaged so would be reusable and I will find some replacement for any others. What would I need to set the slates back on the roof most effectively? Would it usually be by using cement or some other adhesives to keep them in place correctly? I would like to resolve this myself if possible.
Hi I would like to do bathroom cladding (wall panels). How much would it be to do a cladding for a 2m x 2m bathroom. And can you place wall panels over existing tiles ?
I’ve nailed one side to the house brick wall. Will the other side be ok nailed to a fence? I will use it to dry large towels and bedding out there so I need to make sure it can withstand the weight.
What paint is best for exterior walls near the seaside , I’ve been recommended both oil and waterbased , but no real explanation
Hi all, We have moved into a new property and are in the process of renovation currently – which includes removing the old skirting boards to replace with newer style skirting boards instead. Our main concern with removing the skirting boards is the radiator pipes that intersect with them and some micro pipes running along the boards. How can we remove the skirting boards safely without causing any damage to the piping work? Any suggestions would be great to hear about!
If i have turf layed on sand instead of top soil as the existing surface is not rotovated or dug, how long will it last?
Hi there, I have seen a second hand conservatory which looks to be in good condition. I'm wondering how much someone would charge to install it? My garden is paved and it would need a base to be built. Its around 3.5 metre by 2 metre and is a lean to conservatory. Are there any drawbacks to getting a used conservatory rather than a new one?
