Hi. Looking to get some advice on running power to a garden shed An uninsulated shed is around 25 meters from the rear of the house and the consumer unit/fuse box is at the front of the house which has no side access. Looking for advice on whether it is possible or advisable to run power from the kitchen to an uninsulated shed and what a ballpark might be for what is required. Have heard people say I could run power from the kitchen and run to another consumer unit in the shed. No idea if that’s correct…I have no electrical knowledge and would obviously get someone in. I may look in a few years to build a garden office but want a couple of sockets in the shed for power. Would be grateful for pointers and an idea on cost. If did the trench to the shed to save time and cost.

Polystyrene coving

Handymen - 10 answers

I have bought some Lightweight polystyrene coving to finish my living room off but I am having problems when it comes to mitering the Internal corners. I have already wasted one length of Coving and don't want to attempt to try again. I have four Internal corners in my living room. Can someone give me a rough Idea of how much it will cost for someone to Mitre the corners for me only? I don't have a problem Installing the rest of it and only need the corners done.

Slate roof. Repair or replace

Roofers - 10 answers

My sister needs a repair done on her slate roof. The roofer who came out said that, as a slate roof has a life of about one hundred years and her house is roughly one hundred and twenty years old, she should have the whole roof done. He is getting a quote together which involves re-using the slates but said that, off the top of his head, it would be around twelve thousand pounds. Firstly, should she get the whole roof done and second, is that price right? It seems steep from the prices quoted here.

We are looking at converting our downstairs laundry room into an ensuite. The room used to be a bathroom so plumbing and drainage should already be there. Also need to block off a door and make a new one on the other wall. How much are we looking at?

Patio edges far away from the wall

Driveway Specialists - 8 answers

My builders did the paving stones patio, edges fixed in the mortar. However, they didn't put the edging aligned with the house but 10-20cm away from the wall (different distance in different places). I'm worried that in case of rain it's going to fill with water. It seems to me like they squared it so it was easier for them to lay it and they don't have to cut it. They say that's the reason it's supposed to be done, but no logical explanation. I'm not a specialist, but is there any other reason why it was done this way?

Source of leak in roof

Roofers - 10 answers

We have a leak and invited a roofer to repair who quickly recommended changing the flashing around the chimney stack. It has improved but continues to rain in but the roofer has advised he can't identify the source of the leak even though we have made some suggestions. Should it be so hard to find? The leak is all around the stack.

We are replacing a 3kw single oven with a 3.6kw single oven. The current oven is simply plugged in. Can we do the same with the new oven? If not how much will it cost to convert the existing socket to one suitable for a 3.6 kW oven?
