  • Patio build over existing old patio flags

    Can I lay the MOT 1 and compact it on top of an old flagged patio ( save digging up the old patio) Bearing in mind that the existing old patio flags are laid 150 mm below DPC and the new patio would be higher than DPC, how far away from the wall can I start the edging stones and what would you suggest goes in the gap between the house wall and edging stones of new patio?

    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.

    Rendering garden wall materials required

    Hi, Im looking to render part of my garden wall. It's not huge and I'm pretty sure I could do it myself. I'm just looking for some advice on which materials I should use and what the ratios should be in the mix. Will any sand do the job? Do I need to add any additives in? I know i'll need plasterciser but should this be in the final coat too? How thick should the coats be? Any advice would be appreciated.
