The thing it is a temporary makeover. The bath needs replacing but due to the size/dimensions of the bathroom - unless I start knocking down walls and blocking up doorways, I have to have a specially made bath. Whilst I am saving up for the specially made bath, I want to give the bathroom a...

Hi For a temporary makeover (hopefully a couple of years), I want to paint over the bathroom tiles. I've bought Zinsser Bullseye 123 plus to prepare the tiles before painting. Can anyone tell me, should I re-grout the tiles before starting this project? And also, is there a specific...

Thank you for all the replies. Its all helpful - thank you.

Has anyone on this forum done this? I was wondering what the results are like? I have an enamel bath which is about 50 years old. I was going to replace it but the width of the bath is a mere 650mm. The bathroom measurements won't allow for anything bigger. Many thanks for any feed...

Thank you. Much appreciated.

Do I only have to go down the surveyor route if my neighbour objects to the new extension? Basically, if by a miracle he is agreeable to the extension, do I just put my intentions in writing and state that any damages etc I will pay to have rectified etc? Many thanks

Hi I've just had some drawings done for a single storey extension. I live in a semi detached house and I am proposing to rebuild the boundary wall and it form part of the new garage. The current boundary wall is about 120 years old and needs rebuilding as it is in a very bad state. I...

Originally, we had laminate flooring down for 15 years without any problem. It was put down by my husband and he lined the floor with this thick blue polythene sheeting which I think was at least a metre wide. Each section had a good overlap. There was no air pocket in between the membrane...

Hi I need to redo the kitchen floor as it had been laid on concrete without a DPM. 3 years have gone by and the laminate is ruined! After googling, there appear to be lots of DPM products on rolls or packs of sheets, but they have different 'weights'. What do I need please? The area I...

Hi there I've just been back down to look at the house. I think my mind was playing games with me. The wall isn't leaning out at all. At the very top of the house, the gable end is very slightly leaning - at the very very most, I think it would be a rebuild of the gable end. The house...

I'm confident about the house. I know the row of houses well, I'm just trying to cover myself on a worse case scenario of rebuilding the one wall. Would you say it could be rebuilt by two brickies (or one plus a labourer) in two weeks plus materials etc?

Hi, No the house is not rendered and there definitely aren't any cracks. I'm just looking at the worse case scenario of rebuilding one wall. I would not have thought it would cost anything like £30k when you can have a whole smallish house built for £65-70K. Any other opinions out...

Hi I'm after buying a house which we've noticed is slightly leaning outwards on the gable end wall (I think that is the right name - basically it is the end wall in a row of terraces). I'm not sure what a surveyor would say about it and whether it would affect a mortgage offer. The house...
