  • boiler not working same after installation of a combi boiler

    hi, had a boiler installed recently and as a result living room radiator is cold on the bottom and very hot at the top. installer thinks is because radiator has both pipes on the same side, one at the top and one at the bottom so he wants to replace pipe to put it on the opposite side of the rad. i dont think the problem is with the pipes been on the same side of the rad as it is been working fine till now. I am looking for a second opinion, need help please.

    Installing staircase banisters

    We have just bought our first family home but the staircase is open on one side. Obviously this is unsafe so I want some sort of handrail/banister. How much will it cost to add a banister or handrail to the open ended staircase? Its 12 steps to the top. I'm not too fussed about the material, just need to know roughtly how much it would cost? How much would glass stair balustrade panels cost?

    advice of painting over mould in a spare room

    If I have a surface that I’d like to paint over, can painting over mould kill it off or does it need to be fully removed before I move on to repainting my walls and ceiling? It's the spare room in question and mould has grown quite a lot. It looks awful and we’d like to get rid of it as soon as possible. I thought I would ask whether mould can simply be painted over and ‘suffocated’ if you’d like or do we need to get rid of it first? I’m planning to repaint these surfaces either way as they’re in need of an update.
