    Dulux Trade Diamond vs Easycare kitchen

    We're getting a new kitchen & have chosen the colour. But, whats the difference between Dulux Trade Diamond Matt & Dulux Easycare Kitchen? We'd prefer to have a matt finish as the new cupboards and tiles are already slightly shiny. I've read the trade diamond can be used in the kitchen & is scrubbable, but does anyone have any experience with it in a kitchen? Also, we're having a wide glass splashback, so oil stains aren't a worry.

    Can you tile directly on floorboards?

    Am I allowed to rebuild my own brick wall? Or does this put me at risk of personal liability if it falls down and injures anyone?

    Removing living room spots, connecting a feed to centre of room for pendant light.

    Hi - I'm wondering what a going rate would be for the disconnection and removal of 6 living room spot lights, and sending a feed to the centre of the room. I have identified the spot that feeds the others. All I would need is the physical lights themselves to be disconnected and removed and a new cable connected and fed to a pre-made hole for the central pendant light. I would be filling/plastering/painting the leftover holes myself. There is no access from floor above. The main circuit board is very close too. Many thanks

    Is uPVC window hinge replacement a cheap fix?

    One of our windows has started dropping and catching when you open it, and someone mentioned the hinges might be worn. I’m just trying to get a rough idea of what this will cost and whether I should give it a go myself
