Best New front door advice
Hi I'm looking for some advice on the best front door to buy. It needs to be robust and hardwearing on the outer side. What brands should I be looking out for? Is it worth buying the door separately and hiring an installer or should I get 1 company to do it all? The old door is composite, is this the stongest and most hardwearing option or should i go with something else? Thanks in advance.

Levelling off a wall
Hi, We are currently trying to install built-in wardrobes in our alcove; the plinth is built, and one side is in. When we go to put the left part it doesn't fit. We looked, and it looks like when measuring the far side of the edge, of left side is wider than the near side. This section of wall is only about a foot deep, so what is the best way to trim it back to allow the wardrobe to fit?

Do handymen quote for small jobs?

Laws on tradespeople working inside a home
If a tradesperson comes to work in my home, does that mean that no one else from another household can be present in the home at the same time? So my daughter likes to invite a friend or two to the house on different days of the week. If someone comes to my home to work on anything (as there’s a few things that need fixing around the house), must her friends not visit during these hours? Or how does the law apply in these cases? Any help would be really appreciated as I’ve no idea how the law might apply in these sorts of scenarios. Thanks!
