  • What is the best option to seal between a bath and wall tiles?

    Hi all I have a bath fitted to a corner with tiles to the joining walls, where the sealant material which joins the bath edge and the tiles seems to be peeling away. I don’t want to leave this issue too long for the risks of leaking as it wears away further. What would be the best sealant product I could use to replace this current material that’s peeling away? If there are any other products or ideas anyone recommends, please let me know.

    Underlay removal for laminate flooring

    I’m planning to have laminate flooring fitted in my living room as a replacement of a carpet. Would it be okay to keep the current underlay ahead of the laminate flooring installation? Or should I have a new underlay installed instead?

    Can I install multiple switches for the same lights within one room?

    I would like to install more switches at two different doorways within the same large room. Ideally both switches could be used independently of each other without any conflict. Is it feasible for me to install the additional switch and make adjustments by myself or is this more for a professional electrician to complete? In either case, is it likely that I will need to repaint or plaster around the switches afterwards? Any advice on this project would be great!
