hi - we used gloss on previously glossed woodwork and it was an oil gloss - leyland exterior gloss Only one coat was used and we now are not sure of whether to add a second gloss coat or to put undercoat on top and then gloss Do you have any advice?

Luckily I do not have a car - Just a bicycle which is kept indoors.

Will that 30K basically cover everything - like replaster in and out of house, paint and decorate, fit kitchen and bathroom and new boiler etc? If so then that is actually very reasonable given the size of the house

Would you be so kind and explain how. The worst that you could do is put a brick in the window - That would be covered by the house insurance.

Quite easily - Before you can get a charge you need to go to court and get a CCJ. The defendant is free to plead anything he likes including faulty workmanship, damage caused to an expensive vase or terms and conditions that he did not agree. If he does this it will need to go to trial. Quite...

Can I just ask - You reckon it will cost 30K to rerender the walls and fix the gutters on this house?? Or do you mean 30K to redecorate all the rooms and install new electrics, plumbing and tidy up each room?

And paying more guarantees a good job does it? I always insist on a day rate from a tradesman - If the job is difficult with good reason then it is clear that I will pay him more

I expect him to have his tools and that be included - In the same way that I wear trousers and shoes when I go to my job Its quite amusing how a simple job like adding ONE radiator to a system causes so much ifs and buts to come up and a quote of 800 from one poster. God knows what the...

I have materials - I am looking just for labour quote

i am asking for a breakdown and explanation of what is involved - quite reasonable i think Would you write a blank cheque without question?

Eh? Is it not drain system, run pipework and refill system??? The floor is up - was hoping it would take one day max and therefore £120ish
