    Raising my kitchen ceiling

    I’m looking to raise part of the ceiling in my kitchen, it’s not under a bedroom or other room as it’s in part of the front of the house that sticks out separately, almost like a front extension(?). It’s maybe a foot lower than the rest of the room and there’s one dividing wall to take into account. Would this be a fairly straightforward job or even possible?

    Boiler not heating

    The u-bend beneath the kitchen sink is leaking. Now I’ve found the boiler isn’t heating. Could the leak in the u-bend have caused my boiler to lose pressure? The boiler is nearby in the kitchen.

    What products do I need to install bathroom tiles myself?

    Hello, I will be doing some tiling work in my bathroom to replace some damaged tiles. I’ve not done any tiling work in a bathroom before – so I don’t know if there is any special sealants or other products I should be using. At the moment I am planning to use some bathroom specific tile adhesive and some tile grouting to seal the gaps between the tiles after they have been fitted. Is grouting absolutely necessary if the tiles are already fitted due to the adhesive already? Will I need any other products for fitting tiles? If there is any other tools or products anyone would recommend using to get the job done right, please let me know.

    Fixing Windows that have condensation inside

    I've just noticed that 4 of the double glazed windows in my mums bungalow have condensation inside. They arent that old and appear to be in good condition apart from the condensation. Is there anything that can be done to remove it or do the windows need to be replaced?

    Job payment schedules

    Hello, Just wondering what a normal payment schedule is in the tradesman world? I've been getting lots of renovation work done recently and everyone seems to be wanting different payments schedules. My bathroom renovator wanted 50% deposit up front but the decorators didnt ask for any. Just wondering if there's a standard deposit/payment plan i should expect?

    Electric shower installation

    Do I need an electrician & a plumber to have an electric shower fitted, or are there companies that will have both so I pay one price for the job, rather than get an electrician to do electrics then a plumber to do plumbing?
