    Bathroom move from downstairs to upstairs

    I'm looking to move my bathroom from downstairs to upstairs. (It's an old house). The main building work, I guess, would be to cut a hole for, and install, a frosted-glass window, and cut a hole for a toilet and bath/sink waste pipes. I know where I want the bathroom and have started to stud out part of a bedroom to accommodate it. My question is, ballpark, how much to do the window and the waste holes, and what permissions would I need.

    plaster not bonding

    Hi We had a room skimmed back in August, and have just got round to having it painted. Soon after the painting had been completed we noticed some bubbling on the surface of the wall. We mentioned this to the painter and his team visited this morning. It seems that the plaster skim has not bonded to the wall and the addition of the paint has caused the plaster to delaminate. The wall is very chalky where the plaster is coming off the wall. It looks like the skim coat has bonded to the paint that was on the wall as opposed to the wall struggling to decide what needs to be done, do we just get the blown patches filled, the plasterer has suggested that would suffice, or should we, and I hesitate to suggest this, remove the whole skim coat and start again from scratch?
