  • Fitting skirting about radiator pipes

    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?

And how about the hourly charge of the painter?

    Price for a gas replacement boiler

    I have an old heat only boiler and want to upgrade. I have a Geledhill tank, pump,valves etc. I have so much mixed info and huge quotes @ £4k that want to replace the pump,valves etc etc. And I also have advise that says remove all kit and install a combi boiler. What do the experts think ? The quotes are huge for both,and they want to add / not include a power flush and fancy thermostat. The quotes also add on the cost of a magna filter, not included but added as extra!, Is this correct? I have a thermostat already ,not TRVs granted but at £40 per rad ( 7 rad) it’s seems extremely high. Thanks in advance

    Changing oven plug socket to a hardwired one

    Hi there, I bought a Hob and Cooker package from Argos: https://www.argos.co.uk/product/9343366?clickPR=plp:1:3 On the website, it stated that the cooker is hardwired. When I received this, it came with a standard plug, however the hob itself has a hardwire connection to it. My connection for this, is meant to be hardwired in - with a 6mm, 32amp connection for it. I am based in South London. My question is: 1) Can the hob (6400W) and the oven (2100-2500w) be connected to the same outlet? 2) Is there anyway to remove the plug from the oven and have this hard wired? 3) How much would this likely cost? Thank you
