  • How to attach kitchen units to the wall?

    Hello, I need to attach wall units to a wall in my kitchen. I keep drilling the holes for the plugs but they won't stay in and when I try to attach the unit they're coming out and bringing bits of the wall with them. There never has been and doesn’t seem to be any issues with damp and i think it is a brick wall as its backs onto my neighbour. How far should I be drilling into the wall? Are there any alternative options for me? Thanks in advance.

    Replacement windows without lintels

    We are purchasing a 1960's property which is fitted with timber-framed aluminium double glazing panels - most of which are blown and need replacing. Our surveyor has advised that there are no lintels above the current windows - with the concrete headers supported directly by the current window frames. Do we need to add new lintels to all of the window openings if we replace them with UPVC windows and what would the approximate cost of adding the lintels be?
