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?
I already have paving flags and want to have a patio laid on my lawn,what should I expect to pay for labour and materials? The area is 18msq. Thanks.
Hello, I had new laminate flooring and scotia beading laid a couple of years ago. Recently I noticed that a small section of scotia beading has become damaged. This section is near where my dining table is and a chair has been scraping/pressing into the section when I sit down (space is tight in my flat). Some of the top layer of the scotia beading has been dented/torn. It is not very visible unless looking close up. I am wondering if there is something I can do to repair this section or do I have to replace the whole section of beading. I have looked into floor repair kits but I was not sure if this is the best way to fix this type of damage.
The radiators weren't heating up properly. I bled the radiators (which didn't actually have any air in them, so were ok). I added some pressure (too much... so bled a radiator again till it was 1.4 bar (cold). Boiler played up so had to turn it off and on a few times. Heating was then able to come on (still only little heat so may possibly be sludge or something in radiators). Key thing, however, is that then, when I turned the hot tap on, nothing came out at all.... nor since. Pls can someone advise me! No hot water in during this cold snap is not fun. Particularly at the weekend! Thanks.
Whats the average daily rate for a plumber? Excluding copper / pex etc. To do some lets say re-routing of heating pipes to under the floor or decommission / re-route a radiator?
What's the best drain unblocker? I frequently get a blocked kitchen sink. I want a stong unblocker to try and fully clear out any blockages before I call in a professional.
How can I go about requesting a building inspection? What is involved in this?
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?
What kind if price would I be looking at to lay porcelain paving slabs in an area of 16 x 16 feet exclusing the price of the slabs? Also what would the cost to have a concrete slab layed that is 10 x 13 feet?
I’ve started prepping the doors but not sure if I’ve done enough. Will eggshell stick to gloss or does it need primer or sanding first?
