  • How do I lay underlay on concrete floor?

    I need to lay underlay in a downstairs flat but the floor is concrete. I'd usually staple it down which I, of course, can't. What's the best way of securing it?

    Changing a radiator TRV

    How much does it cost to have a radiator TRV changed, I’ve bought the part it just seems too awkward and fiddly for me to do with draining pipes and everything. Would a plumber come out for such a small job? And how much would it cost?

    Cost of plumbing in a washing machine

    I've just bought a reconditioned washing machine. How much would it cost to have someone plumb it in for me? I assume a handyman can do it rather needing a plumber? I have mobility issues, so I can't do it myself but I'm scared of being ripped off.

    My entire wall is damp, will it need replacing?

    Hi, I recently cleared out under my stairs and found mould growing along the back wall. After clearing it off with mould spray and bleach, I found in the plaster peeling off in the corner. Using a moisture meter I found it to be very damp at least 1.2m high. Will this wall panel need replacing? I also checked moisture content along the skirting board and I think all of it in the cupboard will need replacing. mAlso, is this question better for a plasterer or a builder? Maybe I'm asking the wrong people!

    How much silicon should be used around the edge of a new upvc window?

    I hired a window fitter to replace my living room window. He's replaced the window but when he was installing it I felt like he used a lot of white silicon before he covered it with a cover. How much sealant would be too much? Also he used white sealant with a brown frame? Am i wrong in thinking he could have colour matched? Thanks.

    Exterior UPVC door adjustment

    I have a UPVC door which closes OK in winter (easier) and is very difficult to close in summer. This is the door mechanism not the door itself. I've had a good look around the door and its not warped, etc. seems to fit the door surround correctly, ie. not dropped, etc. To my view it seems to have been badly installed/set-up/adjusted. I cannot seem to figure out how to correct this / adjust it so it closes easily and correctly. I believe this does not require a new door, just adjustment..!! Wanting someone who can adjust this door..!! Please give a quote..!!
