    • Is it possible to repair dovetail joints?
    Joiners - 10 answers

    Is it possible to repair dovetail joints? I've inherited some old drawers which are very nice but a bit a bit wonky after years of misuse.

    cost of fitting bamboo flooring for a 15 square metre room in Manchester
    Flooring Specialists - 2 answers

    I am considering having a bamboo flooring laid down for a 15 square metre room in place of carpet. I am based in Manchester and I’d like to know the estimated price tag I can expect to pay to have professional flooring fitters complete this installation work? How much might the actual bamboo floorboards cost? I’d like a high-quality product but nothing exceptionally dear, if possible. How about the labour costs? And what sort of waste disposal expense am I looking at paying for the removal of my current flooring? Is this something that can be dealt with by the contractors under the bill they give me? Or will I need to hire a third party company?

    Does CCTV installation affect insurance?
    Security Specialists - 4 answers

    If you have CCTV installed and take measures to improve home security, to what extent does this impact on insurance? If there was a burglary, if you had security are you more likely to have a favourable insurance offering since you’ve done more to protect your home or does it not work this way? Just something I thought was worth asking about.

    Back boiler replacement
    Plumbers - 10 answers

    I’m looking to buy a property that had a back boiler and replacing this with a combi. The kitchen backs onto the fireplace so hoping it wouldn’t be too much of a job to relocate the boiler. The house has no gas heaters but obviously the house is connected to the gas through the back boiler. I know that prices will vary; but is there a rough costing for this? It’s a three bed house. Sadly I can’t get a gov grant as I don’t qualify. Any help will be appreciated in terms of potential cost to expect and also is it best to get radiators installs first and then replace boiler?

    Repainting a peeling wall
    Painters & Decorators - 10 answers

    When I had painted the first coat onto kitchen walls, I noticed that the paint on one wall wasn’t adhering properly and it had some marks which looked suspiciously like water marks. I think we have ruled out the possibility of the flat being damp, but it looks like there may have been a historic problem. Anyway, on the first coat some of the paint came away on the roller and then when trying to sort a crack, huge chunks of the paint fell away revealing the plaster underneath. I used a pallet knife to pull away the loose paint (pretty much the whole wall). Where do I go from here? My thought is to sand the wall down to get the patches of paint as smooth as possible and then use a peel stop primer (I’ve got the Zinnser one) and then mist coat as I would with a bare plaster wall? My other option would be to use a paint stripper to get the whole wall back to plaster but I don’t really want to go down that route!
