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?
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).
Good afternoon. I’m going to be painting over plaster in my hall, stairs and landing. We want to keep the space light so we’re going with very pale blue paint. How many coats of paint will I need to cover the plaster? How long between coats of paint should I wait before the next?
Hello, I am looking to install some small bathroom fixtures, toilet roll holder, towel rack, etc on the walls of my bathroom. The walls have already been tiled, so I want to be sure that I can drill through correctly without getting any damage to the tiles themselves. I have been told that using a low torque setting for a drill and using masking tape around the tile can be an effective way. How would be the best way for me to drill through the tiles? Thanks
Who is responsible for the manhole outside my property? It is close to the door
Hi everyone. I’m hoping someone can help with our query. We have four bedrooms but one is a small box room. We would like to convert the box room into an en suite for the guest bedroom. The door would need to be relocated to the other wall. It could easily fit a toilet/sink/shower in the space. Can this be done fairly cheaply (but professionally)? How much money should we be putting aside for this?
I'm not sure who to ring about a water stain on ceiling? What would you do?
A mouse or rat has chewed the parts of the jacket layer off some appliance cables in the garage. Is it safe enough to wrap electrical tape over the gaps to fix them? Or what can I use instead of electrical tape?
I will need 3 internal doors measuring, supplying and fitting. They are probably different sizes as it’s an old bungalow. I would like a quote please.
My front door’s lock has become very stiff recently when I try to turn the key in it to unlock it. However, it doesn’t seem to bad when locking the door. I’d like to solve this soon so I don't get locked out. It seems to have gone worse over time and is now consistently stiff, despite the door and lock only being a few years old. Is there anything I can do to make the lock a bit looser? Or is it more likely that I need to replace the door’s lock? If anyone has any ideas for what could have caused this, please let me know – as I don’t want any repeats of this in future.
