  • Driveway extension-cost

    I'm looking for ballpark figures for a driveway extension. I understand it's difficult without seeing it in oerosn but would like to know how much cash I'm looking at having to save for it, roughly. It's to extend an existing single driveway into a double. The area to be converted is currently covered in loose gravel, about 120 millimetres deep, with soft earth underneath. The area is also sloped towards the house at about a ten degree gradient. It's around eleven square metres in total. I've already been granted permission for a dropped kerb and am awaiting a separate quote for that too.

    RCD/ circuit breaker placement

    Hi guys, I am soon to be moving house and I have a small kitchen with a big full length cupboard which houses an RCD. I would like to utilise the cupboard by placing a washing machine or fridge in there and I also believe the RCD needs up dating. Can you tell me if this is possible please, I.e. utilising it for the washing machine or fridge or can i only use it for other storage items.

    How can I find out if our artex ceilings contain asbestos?

    We have recently moved into a new property and found that some ceilings have Artex in them. We are planning on replastering these ceilings, but we want to be sure of any risk of asbestos first. We do not know if they have asbestos in them currently. If there is any asbestos we would want to get rid of it as soon as possible and be rid of it. If there are difficulties with removing it, we would like to be able to manage it safely otherwise. Is there anyway we can find this out ourselves without any danger of asbestos around?

    Should I use cement for my floor tiles

    Which adhesive for slate tiles will cement work?? I’ve had some tiling work on some floors done recently but found some of the tiles don’t stick down at all – I can lift them straight up! It is a concrete floor underneath and the tiles still need to be grouted. Is this normal to not be grouted yet? Should it be concrete or some kind of tile adhesive?

    Garage floor replacement

    The garage floor is composed of block paving, would it be possible to install a concrete floor on top, or would they need lifting? Would a damp proof membrane be required?
