    Warm outdoor tap

    Years ago we had an outdoor tap fitted that gave us warm water for washing our dogs. Kitchen sink was moved during refurb and they changed all the pipes so now only hot water out of the tap…they removed a small valve that was really small and simple but I can’t find it online anywhere- it wasn’t one of the big TMVs I’ve seen- just a small brass joint..any help appreciated!

    Moving a door - fixing/building wall

    Our house is a typical 1930 mid-terraced house. When you enter you see a wall at the end of the corridor, because the kitchen door is under/behind the stairs. We want to move the door to the left side of the wall (so you can see it when you enter the house) and close the area under the stairs to make storage space. How much would cost to fix/build the wall (where the door sits currently) and open a door on the left side?
