  • 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!

    cost of fitting a sleeper raised bed in the garden

    I am interested in fitting a raised bed in my garden. How much will it cost in terms of the supply costs to put together a sleeper raised bed. What are the steps involved in completing this work by myself? I am guessing it is not an especially difficult job to do DIY, is that correct?

    Can I replace a section of my kitchen’s worktop?

    Hello, I have a fairly new kitchen worktop that has become damaged in one section, which will need to be removed. I would consider just replacing this one section of the worktop if I can, instead of seeking an entirely new worktop style again after just 2 years. Do kitchen fitters offer partial worktop replacements as a service usually? And is it possible to replace this one worktop section without upsetting the rest of the fittings and worktop areas? My only alternative would be to look at getting a new worktop entirely, so I would rather replace the single damaged section somehow, if it’s possible.

    Should there be tiles in between two adjoining sections of my roof?

    Hi my question relates to a new roof I have just put on. It’s a fairly large roof and it’s split up into two sections. In between the two sides there is a dipped section which is almost flat. The roofer hasn’t put tiles on this section as the water drains towards the gutters. But should he have put some tiles here as this section is practically flat and will collect rainwater almost certainly? Should he have added tiles here and made a ridge?

    how to dispose of roof tiles

    I’m replacing two roof tiles. Can I throw these tiles in an ordinary bin? Should they go in a recycling bin? Or are roof tiles the sort of material that need to be disposed of with a unique waste disposal approach?
