  • What can I do about a sunken block paved driveway?

    Hey there, I had a block paving installed in my driveway some six years ago but it appears to have sunk by now; do you know why this has happened and what can be done about it? Should I hire a professional?

    How to use thick tiles?

    I brought bathroom floor tiles 600x600 with a 9.5mm thickness for my bathroom which needs 7 box of tiles. My builder states it is too thick to work with. However I have seen other bathrooms install these tiles perfectly. Is this true or should I find another builder?

    Ceiling Joists Removed

    Hi. We recently had insulation done in a small extension that has a small apex roof. The man doing all the work for us, advised us that we could heighten our internal ceiling by removing the ceiling joists before putting the insulation in. We had a back and forth about safety and he said cause it’s a small roof, there wouldn’t be too much weight on it. It’s about twenty five square metres of a space. He said that he could cut out blocks of wood and screw them in between each rafter so that each rafter was connected to another one with a small block of wood between them, but no collars or joists. Insulation went in, plastering completed and now about 4 months later, large hairline cracks are appearing in various spots on the roof, one side to the other. Got worse after a storm. Were we played for fools by listening to him? And will it eventually collapse or spread so much that it cracks much worse?

    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.

    Paying a tradesperson

    Can work by a tradesperson be paid for overtime? Must it be paid all at once or do some tradespersons/companies offer different options such as paying off the work monthly?
