Hi, I am replacing my floorboards in my bathroom but hit a snag. 4 of them go under the adjoining room. (If that makes sense). I was wondering the best way to cut them.i can get a circular saw, but it won’t go right up to the wall. If I got an angle grinder, would that be ok? My GF said I...

anyone know if its ok to tile over painted tiles in a bathroom? i was going to get either bigger tiles to put over the smaller ones that are already on or the plastic ones that you can cut, as they are supposed to be easy to do. cheers

Evening, how much approx. to reflash (i think )a window in my loft? Or to replace altogether? I can see the gap at the top of the window. Its a terraced house in Burnley, lancs cheers

Afternoon :) I have a radiator in my kitchen which doesnt work. I was going to remove it altogether and just put an electric heater in there. Can i just cut the pipes near where it enters in the kitchen (its about 3 meters of piping away from where the radiator is) and just isolate it? It...

Wow, thats expensive Ali. i was only hoping to pay about £100 for it all. I might just buy a bucket for £3 and let it drip from the joist to the floor. thanks everyone anyway.

Dont know if its just the glass that wants replacing, its leaking (dripping slightly) . Just after an idea of price really to replace altogether so i have a figure in my head before i get jipped when i ask someone to come and have a look :D

Sorry, its a terraced house, with slates, on a slant. The window i would be guessing is approx. 1 meter by 1 meter 20 cm.

only reason behind it is that i am never in, and only really use 1 or 2 rooms in the house. it seems a waste putting heating on just for 1 room and just to do my washing up. On a different note, I saw something on TV the other day, it was something that heated your water direct from the pipe...

thanks, how come? is electric not cheaper than gas?

Anyone know how much to replace a glass window/skylight on a roof? Its a slate roof, terraced house. cheers

Hey, not been on for ages, :) How much for someone to replace a wooden gutter on the back of a terraced house (mid block). I dont mind if they replace it with plastic or summat cheaper. cheers...

cheers. any idea on cost to sort?

I have a problem with my seat belt not working. It jams when i try to pull it. tried it slow, but still doesnt move. Anyone know how much i should be looking to pay to sort out, or if its easy to sort myself. I have tried to see a way of getting into it myself but cant see :( cheers.
