My neighbour is replacing his roof, as we are terraced property they have split the houses in half. I have mentioned a buttering gutter to protect against weather, covering the join area, can anyone advise if any building regulations are in place covering the installation of buttering gutter, as they will start retiling next week
I’m installing new skirting boards tomorrow and just wondering if I should leave a gap below or sit then flush to concrete floor. We are having carpet down after.
I have concrete/masonry external window sills. I have repeatedly treated the sills with a recommended white sealer however rain drips from the gutters keep eroding the edge of the sills. How do I deal with this?
The current ensuite is 8’6” x 4’10” with a tiled shower cubicle, WC, pedestal sink and a radiator. What is involved with converting the room into a wet room? I’m guessing the biggest job is removing the floor to replace with waterproof flooring and adding a drain. I’d like to put the rest of the suite back in after to save money. How much money should I be putting aside for this sort of job?
Hi, my decking has been painted with fence paint and has stripped and worn when rained a few days later. Can I paint decking paint ontop of the fence paint or do I have to remove it first?
How do I clean red brick drive way it's very dirty with mould lichen and algae
How do I work out the best place for my cooker and sink to go in the kitchen? Are there any no-no's?
We have a cylinder that can run on electric but also gets heated when the oil burner heats the house. However, our shower is electric that means we heat up the water for the shower even if the cylinder is full of hot water. Could a set-up work where a thermostatic mixer tap would get cold and hot water, mix it to say 40C (if there is hot water in the cylinder) and this would feed the electric shower? If the water that come in is warm enough already, it would not need to heat it (or just a little) if it come in cold, since there is no hot water in the cylinder, it would just work as an electric shower and heat the water. I could fit the mixer tap in the hot press right the opposite side of the wall to the shower.
Hi If my electrician can’t get the works booked and completed by the time the domestic certificate runs out mid July as shortened due to two advisories is the property insurance invalid or is it that is is okay as long as works booked and ongoing . My certificate is one for a landlord tenancy that I thought was valid for 5 years until 2022
Hi, I've asked similar before but I need to describe it better. I would like to know a rough estimate in time & money, that it would be to relocate the kitchen from the back of the house into the current living room at the front of the house. Plumbing for a sink, washing machine & dishwasher are required. Electric sockets, electric cooker socket & installed & new lighting. The carcasses of the cupboards that are salvageable can be re-used but would like new worktops & cupboard doors. A radiator needs removing & tiles for the wall space between the worktop & top cupboards would be needed. Obviously I know it'd be an estimate without exact measurements for pricing. There are no walls to knock down, nor is it a listed building. There is a manhole out the front of the house . The boiler can stay where it is. It's a 3bed semi-detached house & basically want to swap the rooms to meet our needs. Appreciate your time answering my question, thank you.
