Want a new oven installed. Old one was 13amp connected via plug. Have 6mm cable attached to 40amp on circuit breaker already supplying induction hob. New oven is 2.6kW 16amp. From what I've looked at i think I do not need new wire from circuit board. Is this correct?
Hello! I have had my house plastered and I think some of the work is not great. Before I chat to them would love some feedback. 1) chunks of plaster have dried on my window frames and won’t come off. 2) there are ripples on the wall. Not everywhere but in places. If I run my hand over it’s not smooth in some places 3) there are many hairline cracks (maybe some a tiny bit deeper). I think this might be normal and given it’s an old house? 4) should they have plastered to the floor? They didn’t take some skirting boards off (even though I asked) and now we have taken them off. They have only gone to the edge of the current board not the floor. 5) they got plaster and blue grit all over my light switches 6) they have left little bits unplastered (e.g, where an old socket was). I’m concerned as they are going to do my bathroom plastering and have already half fitted my tiles and suite and I’m worried it’ll get covered in plaster.
Why is my second coat of emulsion bubbling but only in certain sections of the wall ?
My youngest son is neurodivergent and is very sensitive to loud noises. Do you know of any good products that he could use to silence the noise, perhaps good noise-cancelling headphones? Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Hi, I was wondering about the logistics of opening up a bricked up fireplace. This will purely be decorative so the chimney won't need to be opened, just the fireplace itself so that an antique surround can be inserted. - I was wondering if this is likely to need any sort of planning approval? - How long it would usually take to open up a fireplace? - Rough ballpark of how much it should cost? Many thanks
I am having some paving laid for a pergola. The paving on one side has a raised flower bed - the back is a garage wall and other side is grass. The builder suggests leaving a gap between the paving and the raised bed and walk around 6 inches and to fill with decorative stone - is this better than butting up against everything like the rest of the paving around the house?
Do you seal grout in the shower after it has had new grout done ?
My neighbour wants me to sign party wall agreement for him to demolish his part of our connected pitched roof connected to ours on our kitchen for him to extend his kitchen within permitted development, the whole thing is connected, he claims no planning permission needed, I am terrified, he will damage my property, it's terrace houses and no one in the whole terrace done such development, how can I stop this?
What paint is best for painting the inside of a garage? Would anything need doing with the walls before painting them? It’s just a normal concrete block garage.
As per title: Do I need to use moisture resistant plasterboard on ceiling when wet plastering on top in bathroom? Vaulted ceiling has Insulation backed plasterboard that is not moisture resistant. It's all going to be skimmed in the near future. If it's going to be skimmed over, do I need to get someone to overboard it in green plasterboard before it's skimmed or not? Thanks guys!
