  • 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.

    Heavy Item on Plaster Board Walls

    I have hooded dryers that need to go onto a salon wall. The salon walls are plasterboard as it is a small salon suite and the dryers are heavy. Are there any recommendations for something that will help make it more secure such as bolts etc that I can purchase. As the salon is very small (its the size of a small suite 2.7m x 3 m) I have no option but to mount the dryers on the wall as it will take up too much space as standing dryers. Thanks in advance.

    Chimney removal

    Hi there, I have a house from 1930 , and in the kitchen there is a chimney, I am trying to see if I can convert the chimney in a space that I can add a hob, or a range cooker. Will this be possible? Do I need a building permission to do that? What it's the price? Any information will be much appreciated. Thanks Izabela

    Help! Skirting board has come away at one end

    Hi guys, I've recently fitted 1.5m of skirtingboard to a small section of wall in our lounge. I decided to use no nails, which has worked brilliantly apart from one end which has come away from the wall slightly. I'm thinking that I should screw the end down, but am a little concerned that the debris (wood/concrete) from the new hole I need to make will get between the skirting and wall, therefore stopping me from screwing it to the wall. I hope this makes sense. Thanks.

    How often does my alarm need testing?

    How frequently should I test out an alarm system? And what if it doesn’t work, how can I diagnose the issue and figure out if it’s a small issue or one that means the whole system has to be replaced?

    How to avoid headaches from paint fumes?

    I hope to get the downstairs of my house painted in full at some point. I was wondering (as this was an issue for me before), how I can reduce the risk of getting bad headaches from the fumes in the days after the painting is done?
