    What affects engineered wood flooring cost?

    Why are some engineered wood flooring planks so much more expensive than others, even when the wood layer is the same? E.g. Woodpecker is £80+/sqm vs Liberty which is ~£50/sqm.

    EXTERIOR SOIL STACK PIPE

    Hi, My vertical soil stack pipe that carries the toilet waste from the upper levels of my house to the underground drainage system is seeping water from all the joints. All the seals look corroded and need replacing. Also the joint at the ground floor window level is slowly being pushed apart. Its pushing outwards. There is no bracket fixing it to the wall. The pipe is not solid in the ground, it moves. Could the joint that is pulling apart just be fixed by fixing a bracket to the wall and/or should the pipe be moving in the ground and if not how does that get fixed? I have been told that I should ask a plumber. Would be grateful for any advice. Thanks.

    Curved concrete paths

    I'm looking at having a long curved winding path in my garden, will either be concrete or wood, but want to know if there is something I can use in either plastic or wood just to make the shape before the concrete is poured or the wood gets put into place so I have a defined path area before I start.

    Fix radiator valve

    Hi, the radiator valve in my bathroom is leaking. The flat is in a period converted house and there’s no separate control to turn off and just drain the water for the flat. There are 3 communal boiler in the building. I was told we probably need to drain all waters in the boiler in the communal boiler. With that in mind, I want to know how much it cost to fix my flat valve leaking problem?

    prices for hiring a locksmith in London

    How much locksmiths charge per hour and each day in London? Does it vary depending on whether you live in the city, on the edge of the city or in the suburban areas of the general London area? Or on the other hand, are the prices practically the same?

    Plastering issues

    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.
