    Door hard to open and close, handle loose

    My flat’s front wooden door has become swollen and is very hard to open and close. When I pull the door open from the inside, it often sticks, and I have to use a lot of force. When I try to close it from the outside, it’s also difficult to pull shut properly. The handle has become loose after a previous emergency locksmith visit, they charged £300 but didn’t screw the handle back correctly. Could a carpenter or joiner fix the door alignment and resecure the handle so it opens and closes smoothly again?

    advice on purchasing and installing 150 ceramic tiles

    I am planning to fit new ceramic tiles in my kitchen in replacement of some older tiles which have aged to the point where replacing them is necessary. I’d like to know what online stores in the UK you’d recommend to find the best ceramic tiles? How much will it cost me to purchase about 150 ceramic tiles? As for the work, what equipment will I need to perform the work? How can I safely and effectively remove old tiles and place down new ones?
