    Labour cost query

    Hi. I will be moving into a new house. The kitchen is tiled already but I would like to tile the living room floor approximately 16m squared. If I was to purchase the materials myself how much would I be looking at for a tradesperson in labour to install? The floor at the moment is concrete and screed so I imagine the floor is ready to be tiled

    Removing a uPVC porch

    In the front of our house we have an old uPVC porch. Its going to come down easily enough because it's just glazed panels. Im just wondering how it's actually attached to the house. I don’t mind ruining the porch but want to have minimal damage to the walls of my property. Thanks.

    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.
