well, spoke with him today, and he blamed the paint! he said cause it wasn't a vinyl matt, it was thicker, and as such, would never be able to get rid of the brush strokes. he did offer to sand them down and re brush, but said you would always see them?! I've given him the opportunity...

Hi. Quote was for h/l/s, lounge and 3 beds. The kitchen was an agreed extra. With ref to the ceiling, the plasterer initially plastered right into the wood which looked better than this, and the painter specifically quoted to make this good. Seems all he has done is chipped some out...

hi carl, if i could get higher resolution pics up it would help, they do look bad on my laptop! Im in stoke on trent Just wondering if i stop the work now, and then get someone else to come in. Also, should i get him to pay me back for the materials he has wasted, (paint isnt cheep...

Hi All spent months and months doing our house up, re-plastered throughout etc. We mist coated everywhere after the plaster was dry, but decided getting a perfect finish was beyond our capability, so decided to spend a £1000 to get in a pro. We wanted 3 bedrooms, lounge, and...

we thought about tiling, but the other half isnt too keen on the coldness of it. The people who did the floor are back tomorrow to put it right. how they plan to do this is a mystery till tomorrow. Im presuming some sort of self level compound over the top? I always though with tiling...

thanks, so if its solid enough to walk on, it will be OK with the weight of the units.

good tip, guess am just eager to start, When i get it sorted, how long would i have to wait? is a few days enough for it to go off before i start fitting. Obviously wouldn't tile the floor for a month or two...

awful is one way of putting it! No paid yet no, was only done friday, by a quite large local building contractors! will be getting the QS down tomorrow to have a look and give them chance to put right. I presume it can be fixed without breaking it all up?? Am i Ok to fit the kitchen on top...

Hi All, We are about ready to get and fit a boiler in our house, and our plumber mentioned the Alpha CD35C with premier pack (jig) giving us a 5 year warranty. We also have seen the worcester bosch 30CDI, and as he is leaving it upto us which boiler we get (and he will fit what ever we want)...

Hi All, Am a little confused about the regs for a shower waste. Im putting a new shower and WC into a bathroom where there was only a bath and a sink. Ive created a raised platform for the shower tray ,and am looking at the waste. Reading few a few places on the net it seems that if...

Hi All, Im putting a shower tray into a bathroom, and have questions around the trap I understand that if i am to connect the waste into a soil pipe, then i have to use a 75mm seal on the trap. What kind of trap do i use for this? I cant see a shower trap with a 75mm seal. The biggest...

do you not have a funny braided pipe with 2 small tap like connectors on just under your boiler? If so, open one if these taps (or may be need to do both) and you will hear a water sound, and then watch your pressure gauge slowly go up, and then just shut the taps off when the pressure is in...
