    Remove Internal Wall and Fit Kitchen

    I am looking to having the wall (2.80m) between existing kitchen/dining room removed (requires a steel & a C/H radiator move) and a 6.72m2 'U' shaped, 15 units (incl 3 tower) kitchen (customer supplied) fitted. Should I contact Builders or Kitchen fitters or would I need to separate the two jobs?

    How can I safely break tiles?

    Hello. I have a quite unique art project in mind but I want to be safe in doing so. I’d like to break tiles into tiny little pieces and then glue them to a bare globe to make the shape of the world’s continents… how can I do this safely, from breaking the tiles into bits and shards to applying them to the globe. I’d encase the globe after or keep it in a high place so no one tries to spin it and cut themselves. Maybe it’s just a year and a half of this pandemic, has driven me to boredom haha, I am retired so I’m trying to find new hobbies. Anyway, I won't use up any more of your time. Kind Regards.

    Wisteria all over roof

    Hello - we are considering buying a house where the wisteria has been left to run riot and now covers three sides of the roof. It is an old three storey high building so very difficult to access. Roofer or tree surgeons ? Any ideas of what this will cost ?

    Can you install laminate flooring on stairs?

    Morning.. I understand that laminate can’t go over the bends on stairs but I want to replace the carpet with something else such as laminate. Is it an easy enough task for a DIYer to end up with a good looking finished product?

    Damaged scotia beading

    Hello, I had new laminate flooring and scotia beading laid a couple of years ago. Recently I noticed that a small section of scotia beading has become damaged. This section is near where my dining table is and a chair has been scraping/pressing into the section when I sit down (space is tight in my flat). Some of the top layer of the scotia beading has been dented/torn. It is not very visible unless looking close up. I am wondering if there is something I can do to repair this section or do I have to replace the whole section of beading. I have looked into floor repair kits but I was not sure if this is the best way to fix this type of damage.
