    What paint would you say is better for bathrooms? I’m choosing between Dulux Trade Diamond range and the Dulux Easycare Bathroom range but have seen some negative reviews for the Easycare range

    Creating off road parking

    I want to strip out two levels of my front garden to create off-road parking, so lots of soil removal and shoring up a very high stone wall on one side, plus utility relocation (mains water, maybe some electrical cables). Plus remove four small-ish fir trees in the same area and a wall bordering the road (made of stones I'd like to keep to help repair other matching walls in the garden). Do I need an architect to design this, or a landscaper, or can builders do the whole job? Do I need a project manager? Is there an average price per square foot for such work? I know I need to involve the Council because of shoring up the high wall and taking parking spaces from the road. They have agreed in principle a few years ago. Since then nearly all my neighbours have done the same. Where do I start with such a project? What are the classic pitfalls I need to be aware of? Should I pay part or all cash? Many thanks for any advice.

    Artex ceiling crack

    Hi, i noticed a crack in my artex ceiling.. I used the ladder to see if the crack moved when I pushed it and it did, a little. It's not a very long crack but I'm just wondering how i can fix it as i want to sell the house and just trying to sort out these cosmetic issues. You could say it's a hairline crack.

    Moving the kitchen

    Hi, I would like to know a rough estimate in time & money, that it would be to move the kitchen from the back of the house into the current living room at the front of the house. There are no walls to knock down, nor is it a listed building. The boiler can stay where it is. It's a 3bed semi-detached house & basically want to swap the rooms to meet our needs. Appreciate your time answering my question, thank you.
