We’re looking to fit new skirting, the old skirting we had was 45mm our new skirting is 119mm but the issue we have are the pipes for the radiators. They’re quite low down which is causing a problem with how high the new skirting is. How would we tackle this problem? Jigsaw the skirting to fit round the pipes? Or try and slot the skirting behind the pipes by removing the radiator temporarily?

Structural Restorative Works

Builders - 4 answers

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?

Shower trap issue

Plumbers - 8 answers

Hi, we recently moved into our current house. The bathroom has now an awful sewer smell. On inspection we found it to be coming from the shower drain (walk in shower - tiled floor). I lifted the grill and saw no water seal - no sitting pool of water - and it looks like the shower trap has been removed. Water flows directly down and so it looks like the smell is coming directly from the sewer. My newborn sleeps close by and so my wife is very worried now! However, I have no idea how to get this fixed/replaced as I can't find the brand name on any of the bathroom fixtures. Any help/advice hugely appreciated....
