Are there any qualifications or certificates a bricklayer should have to be competent at building a small extension?
What are strip foundations and when would these foundations be most commonly used for a brick structure?
I have underfloor heating in two bedrooms with carpets I want to replace with vinyl / wood flooring. Do I need to buy new underlay? House was built in 2015. Thank you.
I have an Everest window with a broken gearbox. Looking to replace with a part I found but I can't get the old gearbox out. All screws and shoot rods removed. It won't budge. Any ideas? Thanks
Am I best using neutral or bright colours to paint the inside of my home? What might it depend on, aside from personal preferences? How can I balance these colours well? Should they be mixed up from room to room or is it better just to use pretty much the same types of colours either way?
I have a conservatory with dwarf walls, I am looking to make this a full extension. I understand the footings may not be deep enough, what is the best way to get them to the correct depth? I am happy to take down the dwarf walls but don't really want to disturb the current flooring as its a finished floor and plumbing is installed so looking to keep extension same size as current conservatory just bricking up walls, adding bi folding doors and a solid roof. Thanks
I'll be moving to a new property shortly. The seller will be removing all kitchen appliances so good opportunity to rearrange it. Is it possible to reuse cabinets & worktop counters already there, rearrange them, get matching new ones if necessary? They're relatively new (no more than 4 yrs). As it is there is a very wide range style cooker & fridge which is outside of kitchen (kitchen is an extension). I'd like an elevated oven, fridge brought in to main kitchen and induction hob (current cooker is gas hob). Is this possible?
Could you please provide information about the applications and benefits of a 2-core twisted pair cable?
Hello, We're looking to purchase a property and the structural survey has returned a structural deficit that we'd like to get a couple of quotes for. It's a 1940s detached house that has had a single storey rear extension The survey found External cracking to brickwork to the rear elevation and side elevation where the rear extension has been jointed into the house. Cracking was above the opening below the second-floor windows which was diagonal and appears in the middle of the span of the opening consistent with lintel deflection. (we also noticed internal wall and ceiling cracks in a similar location...) Vertical cracking was also observed between the brickwork of the rear extension They recommend Replacement lintel installation sufficient to carry the loads applied from the masonry above Repointing the vertical cracks found and checking drains for possible leaks Would someone be able to quote for what it would be to remedy the above issues? Thanks! Roo
I would like to have a 15 square metre room fully painted. I would like the paint to be high-quality and water resistant. I am based in Yorkshire and would like to know what a painter might charge in my area to complete this work as an overall cost. How much would the paint itself be? And how about the hourly charge of the painter?
