    Moving a radiator

    Hi How much does it cost to move the position of a radiator in a room. My son's room currently has a large radiator under his window, I would like to replace it with a smaller one behind his door. I can obviously price a radiator online but how much is it to move pipes?

    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.

    32A Commando socket install

    I am about to take delivery of an EV. I'm likely to be moving by the end of the year so spending circa £1k on a domestic charger will not deliver a return on the mileage I am likely to do. The car comes with its own "mobile charger" which is 7.4kw capable. I have a modern consumer unit with Schneider Isobar Acti9 125A. There is a first generation Rolec EV EVWP0020 charger already connected to the CU via a 32A breaker. I have a SMETS2 smart meter and they are all adjacent on the inside of the garage wall by the garage door where the car will be parked. What additional components (surge protection/breakers) might I need to install a 32A rated (blue) commando socket? What would be a reasonable estimate for this job?

    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?

    Job payment schedules

    Hello, Just wondering what a normal payment schedule is in the tradesman world? I've been getting lots of renovation work done recently and everyone seems to be wanting different payments schedules. My bathroom renovator wanted 50% deposit up front but the decorators didnt ask for any. Just wondering if there's a standard deposit/payment plan i should expect?
