Thanks for the replies. I'm in Bacup, Rossendale. The thing is I don't mind paying but the guy who gave me the quote wanted me to do the prep work i.e. checking for blown spots, removing any dodgy areas and then putting on the PVA. I'm surprised he didn't ask me to labour for him as well! I...

After 3 months I'm ready to tear out what little hair I have left. I bought a bit of a derelict house about 18 months ago. Finally it's watertight with roof repairs, new windows and doors so now it's down to cosmetic stuff. Problem is I just can't find a plasterer who a) wants to do the job or...

The house I've just bought looks like a homage to unmoveable decorations. 10 rooms full of woodchip and :cry: artex. Even when a new stud wall was put up it was immediately woodchipped and the new ceiling artexed. I'm sure the previous owner was a sadist who just decorated with savage glee at...

There was some discussion about veggie oil on the radio last week. Apparently the duty is lower on recycled oil (ex chippy oil) than new oil and you fill in a monthly self assessment form to Customs and Excise.

Big-all It's click shi**, sorry type, there is underlay underneath (the board type), a constant expansion gap (7mm) and yes there is a ridge which I think is causing the problem. There is also a cellar underneath the room so I didn't want to start hacking into the concrete/tiles. At one end...

I've put down a laminate floor in the kids playroom. The floor is mainly floorboards but at one end it is concrete leading onto old (+- 50 year old) tiles. It looks as though there was once an entrance hall there. The problem is that the concrete is about 5mm higher in some places than the...
