  • Bathroom Light Pull Cord

    I am needing my bathroom light pull cord replaced and have been told that as the existing one is about 2 inches up into the ceiling the electrician will not do it. Is this correct? As surely it can still be removed and a new one fitted?

    Small single storey extension cost estimate

    We are planning a small single storey extension, approximately 1m X 4m, this will be an expansion to our current kitchen area and will involve knocking through the wall into the kitchen and adding an RSJ (unsure if timber or steel). The roof will be a slopped roof joining onto the vertical wall that is already in-place. There would be a single small sky light in the roof. We are based in the Midlands and the ground is a sandy ground, apparently better for building and foundations. What would be a ball park figure for the cost the building work, plastering and wiring together?

    Outside tap fitting

    I’m looking to fit an outside tap to the rear of my mid terrace property. The water main comes in from the front. I could spur it off the mains in the downstairs loo and run it under the floor of the hallway and lounge but obviously this means pulling up the carpets and floorboards. I also think it might need the sink and vanity unit removing to gain access under the floor in the cloakroom Would it be inadvisable to spur off the mains feed in the loft, put an isolator in the loft and run the pipe work down the outside of the house?
