    Are sliding patio doors reversible?

    Our patio door installer made a mistake when ordering our doors. We wanted them to open left-to-right, but he installed them right-to-left. We believe he ordered the wrong ones. When we pointed out the mistake, he came back the next day and turned the whole thing (doors and frame) around. My question is whether these doors will now meet building regulations? The sliding door and track is on the outside and the screws on the handle plate are on the outside. We noticed during the recent storms that the weep holes were on the inside. The fitter came and filled these in and drilled new ones on the outside of the door. This just doesn' feel right to me.

    I have just bought an acrylic worktop for my kitchen. I don't have any experience cutting acrylic kitchen worktops. I'm just wondering if anyone has any advice or know what the difference is with cutting acrylic compared to wood. Is it easy enough or am i going to need to hire someone that specialises in acrylic worktops?

    Raising my kitchen ceiling

    I’m looking to raise part of the ceiling in my kitchen, it’s not under a bedroom or other room as it’s in part of the front of the house that sticks out separately, almost like a front extension(?). It’s maybe a foot lower than the rest of the room and there’s one dividing wall to take into account. Would this be a fairly straightforward job or even possible?

    How to heat a conservatory?

    What is the best way to heat a conservatory? It’s really cold in there in the winter which means we can’t use it for 6 months of the year. Is installing a radiator the cheapest way to heat a conservatory? I’m worried we will be throwing away money through our heating bill to heat up the space.

    Boiler not heating

    The u-bend beneath the kitchen sink is leaking. Now I’ve found the boiler isn’t heating. Could the leak in the u-bend have caused my boiler to lose pressure? The boiler is nearby in the kitchen.
