  • Watertite alternatives for basement?

    I plan on waterproofing a moldy basement with Watertite on the brick walls but it costs £65 / 5kg. Is there anything cheaper? I believe tanking slurry is the wrong approach because the floor is made of stone slabs that are damp and I plan on sealing it with polyurethane or epoxy after filling any cracks. Replacing the floor isn't an option. The walls aren't running with water, but mold will grow on the bricks.

    Media wall advice needed

    I have recently moved home so at the moment trying to get back on my feet. I have a good bit of media and good bones for a media wall, i’m wondering if anybody can give me an estimate roughly how much it would cost to build a media wall I would need plenty of storage. I’m hoping for a rough estimate so I know roughly how much I need to save before actually posting a job.

    Removal of old garage

    How much does it normally cost to remove an old garage made from concrete and asbestos? I know it's a specialist job but I'm not sure of a ballpark figure and I want to make sure I'm not being ripped off. I live in the North West and there's plenty of room for access.
