Not sure what a system filter is and no offer was made to move the pipework under the worktop. I am assuming it is too late to change the pipework? Or too much of job?

I had a new boiler that was moved due to being close to the cooker but the pipework means those standard pipe casings for under the boiler will be too small Can I change the pipework or is that too labour intensive and will I just have to get a custom made ugly casing of some sort Which would...

The lower pipe is cold

I just had a new bathroom with a towel rail that since installation has never worked. The installer is currently away. I got a new boiler as it was part of the plan but I thought it might help with the problem as always had to balance the radiators in that part of the house. The pipe work...

I have had an Arezzo extractor fan fitted recently as I had a new bathroom fitted. The builder noted it was not turning off and left it to see if it it would eventually turn off after saying he had tried everything. It is the following...

I have a small window in my kitchen which the fridge has been hiding. It needs to come out and be bricked up. My question is how long should something like this take and how much approx should the job cost, I am in London. The outside is plain brickwork no rendering

I need to install a window lintel in order to go ahead with a window supplier and fitter. My question is should I require a certificate from the builder or some sort of guarantee so that I can show the window fitter and supplier all is good to go ahead? A guarantee re quality of lintel and...

Thank you for your reply. The company that supply and fit the aluminium windows send a surveryor to do the measurements for the new window, charging £300, but can't say if I have a lintel or not. As you say I will require an external lintel I guess I will need to ask the company what type...

I am looking to install new aluminium windows and have been asked if the windows have lintels. Its an eighties extension I think. However I have no idea if they have lintels or not. Do I need to get a builder in to open up the brick work to take a look? Its the front window and side,not the...
