It was my dad that used the company to do the house which is why I'm looking around a bit more this time. I guess if the price difference is not much I could just try and ask for a little better quote after receiving others or look at others work and take a punt.

I see your point, my apologies. I'm getting quotes for upvc windows in a backroom detached garage. It currently has timber frame single paned glass and an old alumnium/metal door. This needs removing and new windows put in. I'm looking for something with a high energy rating hopefully because...

I never knew asking for a small discount as a repeat customer was frowned upon. It's not like I'm asking it for free. Instead of answers requiring justification of why I want a 'good' price I was just hoping for some friendly advice if the price I got was decent.

Well I'm no genius when it comes to quotes but 5-10% off the quote would be nice.

I asked a local double glazing company who we used 2 years ago that did our whole house double glazing for a quote of : 2 windows approx 129x95 and a door for a detached garage in garden. They quoted 1100 despite me mentioning that we spend 7000 with them 2 years ago and I wanted a good...

Fully detached in the back garden but one wall is adjacent to a neighbours garage. Insulation he used was the wool stuff with baton rails? and normal plasterboard over on top. Yes he closed it up with single skin blockwork. I'm not sure what he used but it must have just been normal entry level...

Thank you for your reply, I'm not the most DIY savvy so I will to answer the best way possible. We originally had an old garage single skin of combo of brickwork and block work on opposing walls. The corner of the room which surprisingly has the damp is the area where the large garage door...

Hi we had an old garage refurbed and we managed to get a leak through the walls somehow which would somehow trickle water through the brick work thanks to the old builder. We managed to seal the leak and every time it rains now there hasn't been an oz of water come through so fingers crossed...

Apologies if this thread has been made before but I thought it would be best to ask professionals. I'm 16 and don't want to pursue my education into doing I.T in college so I want to learn a trade and I want to do plumbing. What is the best route to become a plumber? How long does it take...

thanks i bought another washer and it worked. I have another problem though and that is that the button for the dual flush thing isn't all the way up meaning that when you push down on the button there isn't enough force to fully make the toilet flush properly. It's just doing the weak flush...

When we flush the toilet it takes like a good 10mins to fill up. Any ideas how to fix it , Thank you

seems easy enough brown 1 blue 8 what do you mean by cover must go back on

Fantastic. I did look at the sticky but I'll be honest I'm not diy savvy and especially with electrics I don't want to do ANYTHING wrong. So just unscrew the little screws feed it in and tighten??

I'm installing a new pool table light in the ceiling and the light has 1 brown live wire and 1 blue neutral wire. I'm not sure where to connect it via this connection I've uploaded a pic so if anyone could help that would be great. Thank you

What should the proper procedure have been with regards to starting this build. Does it sound really shoddy the level of wormanship? I will try get some proper pics and explanations up soon.

this may sound really stupid but would the building inspector need to have seen all the calculations for the roof and the beam? i think the pennys dropped as in by the builder not wanting to do this by the books hes done what he knows because obviously it musnt be good enough for the...

I dont think any of that was done, I can get pics of the damp and roof. The joists im not sure. If using a beam would the builder not have knowledge in this or would it have been needed to be designed by a professional. How can I upload pics?

First post We had an old garage in the back and we did it up properly to make it a proper room but now it's done there's a few problems that concern me. I am no expert but I am doing a degree in Civil Eng so I do have some knowledge of structural elements so my first query is that the beam...
