  • cost of repointing a 5-6 square metres area of wall

    How much does it cost to hire a specialist to repoint a 5-6 square metres area of a wall? What about the labour and supply costs individually? Alternatively, is this something that I can do myself? If so, what should I know and roughly, what are the steps involved?

    Getting qualified

    Hi I'm in my mid twenties years old and would love to start a career in Plumbing. What is the best way to getting qualified? I was told that City of Guilds is one of the best options for getting a qualification. Is this true? Whether it is or not, I would really appreciate some more information on this matter.

    advice on plastering Artex ceiling as a long-term solution

    I have several Artex ceilings in my house and I'd like to freshen things up. I've read that plastering over Artex is one way to 'get rid of it'. I'd like to know if this is a long-term solution or will I need to replace the Artex ceilings eventually?

    Changing a radiator TRV

    How much does it cost to have a radiator TRV changed, I’ve bought the part it just seems too awkward and fiddly for me to do with draining pipes and everything. Would a plumber come out for such a small job? And how much would it cost?

    How do I start planning for a single storey extension?

    Hi all, How do I go about starting the planning process for a single storey extension on my home? I want to have a small extension built to the side of the existing building, to be used an additional utility room. Shall I get quotes before having plans made or have the plans made first? Are architects able to advise me on the plans themselves? And what would be an approximate cost for an architect to produce the plans for the extension? Will I need planning permission for this extension? It will be entirely within my property boundaries. Additionally, please let me know if you have any ideas of how long this could take, how long to have quotes/plans made or any other advice for building an extension like this.
