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!
Had discussions with local fitters but unable to get a definitive answer … Should vinyl flooring be fitted before or after bathroom toilet and shower install?
I'm rendering the outside of a property with sand and cement render them tyrolean. Do i attach the drip beads, corner beads and stop beads whats the best method to attach them with? Pink grip, using some mix and dabbing them in, nails or some other adhesive? Any advice would be appreciated.
Just had a gable end wall rendered with tyrolean leaving a very lumpy uneven finish with outlines of the blockwork showing through (ghosting I believe its called) . The original render was hacked off, then a very thin coat of a grey material was sprayed on to the blockwork before they started spraying on the tryolean, they also did not removed a wood burner flue just sprayed around existing render. Now after rainfall not only do we have the uneven finish but the area around the flue looks damp for days. Builder has offered to recover the wall due to poor finish but I am worried job was not done correctly in the first place - should there have been some form of render applied after the thin grey substance and before the tyrolean?
A roofer came and fixed a leak in our roof. Afterwards the roof was still leaking. He came back out and re-tiled a section. We were out at the time and when we got back he had covered the roof with a sticky, black paint/tar like sealant. Any idea if this is standard practise or is it a sign of a botched job and something we should be concerned about? Thanks for any helo
Im fitting a kitchen and utility. Had to cut the end panels in the utility room and both ends are bare wood. Do I need to do something to seal them and if so what, or can I just leave them?
Victorian terraced property with a two storey outrigger to the rear has cracks along interior walls where outrigger joins. The outrigger floor slopes down to the end and original ground floor doorway to the outrigger was replaced with an arch ten years ago. Cracks have worsened in the last few months with tiles in bathroom getting further from the outrigger wall. What can we do?
I'm going to reface the blown bricks on the wall round the garden of my house should I pva the surface of the brick first and would you put some pva in the mix itself if so how much, thanks
We started our project in Jan25, adding a single storey, flatroof rear extension with new kitchen/utility, alterations to the existing rooms including a new bathroom & en-suite. Groundwork/structural happened quickly & smoothly. But in the last 2mths things have really slowed up. We were originally told it would take 5-6 months. Now early July and we are so far from completion; the rooflights aren’t even in so we’ve had several leaks where the roof is not watertight. We did not have a completion date written into the agreement, our mistake in hindsight. And now, the builder won’t say when we can expect completion. He even said he would need to leave our project to work on something else he has lined up, & then come back. We have always paid the builder promptly when requested, but we now feel the need to hold the rest of the money back until he completes the job. Is it unreasonable for us to expect that his priority is finishing our project & giving us some idea on completion?
How much does it cost to trim a tree? For a small 2-3 metre tree and a tall 8-10 metre tree? A price range would be appreciated.
