  • Can I mount a large TV to a plasterboard wall?

    I have a 32” TV that I would like to have mounted to my wall. Ideally to hide the TV cables behind the wall too. It is a plasterboard wall and is internal, so wouldn’t involve dealing with any brickwork. The aerial connections are already working and a plug socket already available within reach of the wall. Would this be strong enough to support a TV of this size or would it need some other kind of support?

    What is the best brand for indoor paint?

    Hi, I've had lots of renovation work done and need to paint a load of internal walls. I’m just wondering if there's any particular paint brands that I should be using? There seems to be so many options and I don’t want to buy something with rubbish coverage. How many coats should i be expecting, including undercoat? Thanks

    Having electricity fitted into a garden shed

    I've just had a garden shed built in my garden to be used as a workshop. I need to run an electricity cable from my back kitchen over to the shed about 15 metres away. I have a power socket outside but I don’t just want to run an extension and i'm not sure if i'll need some sort of safety measure in place? Will I also need to get certification of its safety?

    What is the best way to remove limescale from a toilet bowl?

    Currently there is a build up of limescale in the toilet bowl, where it isn’t getting flushed away. I have tried some standard limescale removing products, but don’t seem to have any long-lasting effects on the bowl. Is there any sure-fire options to clear away the limescale? Ideally, something with industrial strength to make sure that it will be cleared. Any other suggestions are also welcome if you’ve some success with other methods! Thanks

    How much should I pay to have a bathroom fitted?

    Hi, I've bought everything I need for my new bathroom. Bath, vanity unit with sink, toilet, tiles, paint, taps and everything in between. My husband was supposed to be doing the installation but he's recently fell ill and isn't up to it. How much should I be paying for the labour, removing my current bathroom, disposing of it, making good and installing the new bathroom suite?
