  • Garage apartment

    Hi. We have a single detached garage with workshop with a driveway up to it. We're wanting to build a flat on top of it to allow one of our children to move out! It's so expensive here. Where do we start? Do we need an architect or can a builder undertake the project for us. We're not sure what the foundations are like. There is electricity but we'll need water and gas connected.

How much work would be required and what would the cost be to remove the single switch and install two separate switches to control both areas individually. Thanks

    RF IN snapped off my TV

    Hi, Unfortunately someone has managed to snap off the aerial connector on my TV when they were mounting my TV on the wall. I am trying to find someone near who can potentially fit a new one on my TV but I have also read about a 'HDMI adaptor' that I could use to get normal TV channels. Does anyone have any that they would recommend? Trying to figure out the best option. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
