    advice on fitting a new kitchen with updated appliances

    I am looking to have a new kitchen fitted in my home. In essence, I would like to have my old kitchen completely remodelled. I am looking to have a microwave, fridge and dishwasher replaced with up to date, smart versions. I am planning to also have a kitchen island added and several cabinets replaced. Further I would like to have the floorboards replaced with engineered wood flooring. Finally, I would also like to have the walls and ceiling repainted. With all of this taken into account, what sort of price do you think I might expect to pay for this specific kitchen redesign/remodelling?

    Installing synthetic/artificial grass

    Hello, I'd like to make some improvements to my small garden but I am not sure what the best option is. Currently, my garden is covered with paving slabs; it suited my needs for a long while but now I'd like it to have a bit more of a natural look and feel. I'd very much like having real grass, but due to my age, I'd not be able to take care of it. Therefore synthetic/artifical grass is my only option. I did some research and I believe I have two options: 1. Cover the paving slabs with underlay and place the synthetic grass on top of it or 2. Remove the paving slabs and place the synthetic grass. Options 1 appears to be the easiest, but the cost of grass and underlay is high and I'd assume it would not have the soft feel. Options 2 appears to be more labour consuming and possibly the cost would higher than option one. If the paving slabs are removed, is it necessary to lay Sub-Base and Laying Course? Thank you Eva

    Rendering repair or refurb?

    Hi, I think is a question for a builder...but maybe it's for roofers. We are looking to buy a Victorian end terrace which has been rendered. Our surveyor's report has noted some cracking as well as poor, patchy repair work to the render & has recommended that we get this repaired. Would you expect a better result from a complete overhaul of the render - remove and replace - or would repair work be adequate? And how much would you expect it to cost? Thanks!
