    Replacement conservatory parts

    Hi, I have a 20+ year old 3m x 3m conservatory with the mock victorian plastic roof (it has a small leak), the timber is slowly deteriorating, but I can't afford to replace it. Can a joiner replace the beading and what would be a rough ball park figure to modernise it a little. My max budget would be about £3k

    Question for a handyman (UK)

    I have an electrician attending to fit some new plug sockets. In order to do this he will need to chase the cables on the wall. This will mean I then need the wall to be filled by a handyman. Can you tell me: Generally how long it takes to plaster or fill plaster board walls so I can get a rough idea? Are there fast drying materials to get the job done quicker? Will I be able to get the walls plastered/filled then hang things on them the same day?

    Flooring issue - could be more?

    Hi there, looking for some advice. Over the past few months I’ve noticed that the floors throughout my house (upstairs, downstairs, and stairs) feel creaky and bouncy. It’s mostly carpeted and was re-carpeted last year. I’ve lived here for many years and this is a recent issue — or I may just be more aware of it now. When the new carpet was laid, thick wooden dividers between rooms were replaced with metal ones, and I wonder if that might have caused some shifting. I’m also worried it could be structural damage or hidden plumbing issues, especially as the house is around sixty years old. I’m not sure how serious it is, which trade to contact, or if I should involve insurance. Feeling quite anxious and would really appreciate any guidance.

    Is natural stone or faux stone flooring better?

    What is a better option for flooring and why; natural stone or faux stone flooring? Is faux stone flooring quite a bit cheaper to have installed? Just want an idea to help me become more informed on these two flooring options while considering them. Thank you.
