  • How much weight on stud wall?

    Hi, I’m moving to a new flat and have bought a tv shelf unit with cupboard storage either side which can be wall mounted. There won’t be a lot of weight inside the cupboards but the unit itself is very heavy ( about 30kg) and the tv is a 55inch ( so I’m guessing about 10-15kg). Is this too much weight to mount on a stud wall?

    Why is plaster peeling off the ceiling around the screws?

    I’ve got swirl patterned ceilings around the house but over the last few months the plaster has started to come off only over the screws that hold the plaster board up (I think its plasterboard underneath?). It has left a few small circular holes dotted around the edges of the ceiling where the screw heads are now visible. Why would this be happening? How can I fix it?

    average cost for a rewire

    I am purchasing a cottage which needs a full rewire. Some sockets are on the skirtings, and I can see the wiring chased outside of the walls. The cottage is 80SQM, and I would also require sockets to be added, and some light fixtures to be moved/added. I am just questioning, on average how much this could possibly cost.
