Hi, I've bought everything I need for my new bathroom. Shower, vanity unit with sink, toilet, tiles, paint, taps and everything in between. How much should I be paying for the labour, removing my current bathroom, disposing of it, making good and installing the new bathroom suite?
Hi, We have an external water leak. A contractor has been today and one option given is replacing the pipe altogether rather than trying to trace the leak and repair. This I am happy with. However they have suggested putting the supply pipe under the driveway from the meter on the pavement, then bringing it up in the garage (so it will be above ground in the garage), running it the length of the garage and then connecting it to an existing water pipe that we have in the garage for the washing machine. They would then install a new stopcock, and block off our existing one. Reason for this option is to save having to take up the floor in the house. Does this sound right?
Should I insulate my loft between the ceiling joists or the roof rafters? Or both?
My laminate floor is damaged. How could I repair my laminate floor?
Recently we have had one of our bedrooms re-plastered by a professional plasterer and decorator, but I’ve begun to notice that some of the areas are looking quite poorly done and not coated particularly thickly. Evident around plug sockets, switches and other fixtures in particular. It appears to be one layer of plaster that has been used. Is this normal for plasterwork nowadays? I recall that in previous years, plasterers would use two layers, but perhaps things have changed. I would like to know for sure, so that I know whether I will need to contact the plaster regarding their work. I would appreciate any information about this.
how much of a deposit should I expect to pay up front for work and how long before should I pay this
Our patio door installer made a mistake when ordering our doors. We wanted them to open left-to-right, but he installed them right-to-left. We believe he ordered the wrong ones. When we pointed out the mistake, he came back the next day and turned the whole thing (doors and frame) around. My question is whether these doors will now meet building regulations? The sliding door and track is on the outside and the screws on the handle plate are on the outside. We noticed during the recent storms that the weep holes were on the inside. The fitter came and filled these in and drilled new ones on the outside of the door. This just doesn' feel right to me.
