  • Repair Roof Lantern

    Hi, I am looking for someone to check and probably repair a roof lantern which was installed 2 years ago. There seems to be an issue with one of the panes and it looks like it has dropped, now letting water into the house. How can I fix?

    Relocate Kitchen

    What ball -part estimate in time & money, would it be to relocate the kitchen from the back of the house into the current living room at the front of the house. Plumbing for a sink, washing machine & dishwasher are required. Electric sockets, electric cooker socket & installed +new lighting. The carcasses of the cupboards that are salvageable can be re-used but require new worktops & cupboard doors. A radiator needs removing & tiles for the wall space between the worktop & top cupboards would be needed. Obviously I know it'd be an estimate without exact measurements for pricing, it's roughly a 10×12 room + bay window. It's a 3bed semi-detached house. There are no walls to knock down, it's not a listed building. There is a manhole out the front of the house. Thank you.

    electric fence won’t work in dry weather

    My electric fence won’t work in dry weather or at least doesn’t appear to as far as I can tell. Do you’ve any idea why this is happening and what can be done about it? Is it something that I can inspect myself and solve or is this too dangerous?

    What can I do about condensation between double-glazed windows?

    Hello all I have found that I have two windows which have been developing condensation in between the glass panels. Is this usual for double glazed windows? As I have never seen this happen before, I had suspected that they may have a gap allowing for the water vapour to get in – is there any ways to fix this or at least keep the glass clean enough? If this isn’t repairable and needs replacement – is there any causes that could prevent it happening again? Thanks

    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

    Drywalling or plastering?

    We are about to embark on a kitchen remodel on our new house, and stripped back the lovely paper that was on the walls and ceiling (!) to find chipped and cracked concrete with some plaster where the tiles were. Is it possible to plaster this, or would it be better to drywall? Thanks!
