  • Baskets for decorating

    Hey! I've read that I could station aesthetically pleasing baskets around my house for decorating. Do you have any recommendations as to what specific types of baskets I could use? And how can I ensure they will be safe? I guess keep them away from candles and electrics?

    Plasterboard/sound proofing

    Hi, looking to maybe add a layer of plaster board to certain areas of my home to block out noise. Im not sure if sound proofing is something that plastering professionals offer or if its just an extra layer of plasterboard needed. Any advice welcome. Thanks in advance.

    Can you get flat hinges for kitchen cabinets?

    I am trying to create a panty in a cupboard that once housed fridge/freezer. I have to pull out drawers assembled but the drawers are hitting the hinges so I can’t put them where I want them. Can I get flat hinges that attach in the same way?

    Conservatory Planning Permission

    Hi. I’m just wondering, ahead of having a conservatory built in my garden at some point later this year, can I ask whether an architect can definitely get planning permission approval or is this not something that can be made definite?

    k rend issues - use it or not?

    I'm looking to have my house rendered. I live 1/2 a mile from the sea with a prevailing wind to my gable end. I like the modern look of k-rend or parex or webber but I am really concerned about the discolouration and staining of this stuff that you see EVERYWHERE you go. I am told that a particular paint is needed and should be applied soon after render is applied? What is this paint? By who? Or is there any other render or system that could be recommended? Thanks very much

    How long should it take to receive quotes?

    If I were to hire bathroom specialists, how long should it take before I receive a quote? Would it be reasonable to expect it within 24 hours in most cases?

    Built in oven wiring

    Hi, I need to replace a built in oven. Can I wire this into a 13amp fused spur? Does the oven need to be less than 3kw? The cooker hasn't got its own supply straight from fuse board. Thanks

    How soon do I need to paint after applying undercoat?

    Hi, we’re moving into a house that is decorated in very dark and bright colours. It’s not our cup of tea and we just want to cover the walls before moving in. We won’t have no time choose the final paint colours and decorate for good few weeks. So for now we just thought of covering walls in undercoat. How long can we leave the undercoat for after covering the the walls with it? I’ve read that primers loose their effectiveness after about 48 hours we would need to prime again just before painting. Does the same thing happen with undercoat? In which case, should we paint the walls in cheap white paint on top of the undercoat too for now? Many thanks for your guidance! P.S. the walls are in pretty good state - no marks, stains, cracks.

    How to fix a dripping kitchen tap?

    It’s a mixer tap but only the hot tap drips. Cold is fine. You have to turn the hot tap handle really tight to stop it and then it’s a pain to turn back on next time.
