  • Hairline crack after plastering

    I had house renovated in July including New plastering. After two months I notice now hairline cracks appearing in several places. I asked the builder to come and look at it . He is asking to pay him for mending the cracks. Am I required to pay for this, as this is due to his initial plastering? Do you normally get hairline cracks after plastering? Pease could you give advice on this.

    Can you just replace countertops?

    I need help with a question about replacing kitchen countertops. So we just bought a new house and I like the gloss cupboards but don’t like the countertops. Is it possible to take off just the countertop and replace it with a nicer one without damaging the cupboards or wall tiles behind it?

    What size cable

    Hi, to get electrics to a garden office, what size 3 core SWA cable required? 16mm or 25mm? Garden office has 2kw panel heater, 8.5kw electric shower, 4 double sockets, a fridge/freezer unit, microwave, coffee machine, and 11 downlights. I calculated around 100amps usage at any one time.

    What products do I need to install bathroom tiles myself?

    Hello, I will be doing some tiling work in my bathroom to replace some damaged tiles. I’ve not done any tiling work in a bathroom before – so I don’t know if there is any special sealants or other products I should be using. At the moment I am planning to use some bathroom specific tile adhesive and some tile grouting to seal the gaps between the tiles after they have been fitted. Is grouting absolutely necessary if the tiles are already fitted due to the adhesive already? Will I need any other products for fitting tiles? If there is any other tools or products anyone would recommend using to get the job done right, please let me know.
