Ok if I’m being unfair please tell me. I live in a semidetached neighbours share wall with me and staircase on each side. They shut their front door, my doors vibrate, wall clicks. They go up and down their stairs, bang bang bang. Slamming doors, sometimes my concrete floor vibrates, dog...

Nah happy with £160 for fitting. Just thought a mark up of £240 in a 180 sink was a bit steep.

Yes he charged me £160 for fitting. My own fault I guess he saw me coming.

Wow thanks for that, my so called honest plumber ordered me this last week and charged me £340 plus vat. Apparently that was the trade price!

Can anyone please tell me the cost of this sink and taps from howdens?

Plasterers overboarded two of my ceilings. Had to screw lots of screws through artex ceiling, used no protection dust everywhere, probably asbestos. How do I clean up help

So I’ve had two plasterers in and both have recommended over boarding. My only worry is them drilling into the ceiling and creating asbestos fibre dust!!

The rest of the ceiling is fairly ok. Couple more cracks

Thanks very much for that info. Interestingly the guy that took the samples said skimming it would be enough but I would tend to agree with the over board idea, except I thought that meant they had to drill into it.

I have just bought a house and ceilings tested positive for asbestos. Cracked in places. Not really sure how to tackle this, want to protect the kids from fibres please help.

It has a sticky feel. The black is the sticky bit, underneath that is the floor boards

No it’s the floor boards

Worrying it comes right up to the edge of wall

Does anyone know if this is asbestos under my underlay?

well I can only remove what I can see potentially leaving some in the crack, but I guess i will just have to take a chance
