  • How long does a house rewire take?

    I have an old house that needs rewiring and a new fuse box. It’s a 3 bedroom and 2 bathroom victorian house. I just need to know roughly how long I can expect the job to take to complete? I'd also appreciate a cost estimate just so I know I'm not getting ripped off. Thanks.

    Artificial Grass Cleaning

    I have a question. I have artificial grass (5m x 7m) in my small garden that smells like puppy wee. I have used an artificial grass cleaner on it many times but I still cant get it to smell clean. I don't have a hose in the garden so that makes it tricky. Can this be cleaned properly to remove the smell? Thanks Caitlin

    Maximum fence height on sloping ground

    Our garden isn’t level and we want to put up a fence along the back. Does the 2 metre height rule still apply if the ground slopes?

    Can you plaster over wallpaper?

    One person told me it’s fine, another said it’ll just peel off. Has anyone actually done it and had it hold up?

    Noticed a leak through my lounge door frame. Above on the ceiling is water stain. Where could this be coming from? My lounge door is on the inside and not close to the front door. I have a cylinder above on the first floor and bathroom.

    Can I paint my decking with Ronseal fence paint?

    Hello, Does anyone know if it is okay to use Ronseal’s fence paint on decking? They’re both for wood and are pretty similar, but I don’t want to risk ruining my decking. Any advice would be great thanks! Greg

    Do built-in and under counter appliances need fused spurs?

    Hello In the past I have used fused spurs for any and all appliances that are built-in to work tops or under the counter, but I had been told recently that this wouldn’t be necessary and that I could just run these appliances via sockets in adjoining cupboards. Should this be what I am doing instead nowadays or am I fine to continue as I have been? I want to be sure that I am installing appliances as safe as I can.

    How much to move an internal door?

    Can anyone give advice pls? The lounge door is currently in a really awkward place. It would make much more sense to be further along the same wall (1.5 metres over) so we can fit a corner sofa in the spot opposite the tv. Is there a structural reason we couldn’t do this? And what sort of cost would we have to pay?

    Incomplete party / fire wall in loft

    I am in the process of purchasing an end terrace property and survey has noted an incomplete fire barrier / party wall issue in the loft which mortgage lender wants fixed (as do I) - there is a chimney on the party wall blocking most of the space but large gaps either side going diagonally. Question is: what is the best way to make this fire safe & also secure from neighbour entry? What is the expected cost & time involved? Not sure if I need general builder, fire proof expert etc? Advice greatly appreciated. (Based SE London / Kent).
