    Render repair or complete re render

    Can render be repaired. I have some areas of render which is coming off, does it all have to be re-rendered or could it be repaired. I feel that a builder wouldn’t want to repair and therefore it would be a costly job to have the front and side of house re done. Will take advice off expert.

    Cost for fitting a sink and shower

    Hi, we are in the process of buying our new home and I am planning on converting a room (a converted garage with attached toilet (without shower, just toilet and sink) into a studio flat. I was wondering how much (and if it is even possible) it would cost to install a sink in the room and a shower in the toilet? As I note, there is already a toilet fitted but it does not have a shower. Presumably there would have to be drainage in place already which could help in these fittings? On a side note, is it necessary to have building regulation for this? Thanks a million!

    Calculating BTU and choosing radiators and capcula

    I am currently researching radiators and trying to calculate BTU to ensure I choose the right size and type. I am COMPLETELY new to this process as well as working with tradespeople. I am doing something wrong, because the numbers I get sound way off - over 9000 BTU for a small bedroom. I have read on a few radiator selling sites that the best way to choose a radiator is to get a plumber in who will calculate the BTU more precisely and help choose the right radiator. As professionals, would you say that’s correct? Is helping choose the right radiators part of service you offer? Or is more a heating engineers’ territory? Many thanks in advance!
