    • Where to put acclimatising floorboards when others are being removed
    Flooring Specialists - 1 answers

    When it comes to wood floorboards acclimatising to a room, once the process is complete, where should I put the floorboards while the old flooring is being removed? I assume they’ll have to leave the room. Won’t that undo the benefits of acclimatising? Should they be moved around the room and simply kept out of the way of the removal work? I’m just trying to figure out how this can best be done. Thanks for your time.

    Joining 2 toilet waste pipes
    Plumbers - 4 answers

    My house has a shower room with a toilet and another room with a bath. I want to convert the bathroom to an en suite and add a toilet. The toilets would be on the same external wall about 4 metres from each other. Can i join the new pipe to the existing pipe from the outside by simply angling it over 4 meters or should it go into the soil pipe in the floor? If I can angle it is there specifications I need to meet? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

    We've been asked to pay 30% upfront before work starts. Is that a normal ask? What's the safest way to structure staged payments so we're not exposed?

    When to use scaffolding for DIY work?
    Roofers - 3 answers

    How can I tell when it is best practice to hire scaffolding as opposed to using a ladder to access a roof for DIY work? Is it related to the extent of the work? How about the height of the house? Are there any other factors I should consider?

    Have I been overcharged ?
    Locksmiths - 10 answers

    I locked myself out of my house today and called a locksmith to help. He has charged me £800 to drill out a Yale lock and replace with a new one. Is this excessive? It seems a good repair and I needed access to the house quickly so did not have time to get other quotes. Thanks
