I'm being quoted £90 per sqm to supply and fit 62sqm of 6mm oak veneer engineered wood. This includes sealing and underlay. It feels like a lot of money, but it is a big space and it looks like a quality product. Does this sound a sensible price and is there anything I should be asking like...

We are renovating our new home, its a big job so making any cash we can is crucial! Just wondering if anyone has an idea of the scrap value of an iron staircase which is outside and reaches the first floor balcony. We are taking the balcony down and just wondering if there is any value to be...

Thanks rocks1. At least that saves me from trying to start taking it apart - like i have a clue. Sadly its part of the deal and would feel too bad just leaving it, so ill have a look online and see how much a replacement one is! Is it that tricky to fit an integrated one? Any guesses as...

I have had enough this week and this is the limit! Any help much appreciated. So i have a cda 130 integrated dishwasher. I am so fed up with CDA, but anyway, we've sold and move out tomorrow and the flipping thing has just tripped the electrics! Ive reset it and restarted and same thing, 10...

Thank you for all of your comments, i really appreciate it - each to their own trade and frankly this couldnt be further from mine, so am clueless. So he has finished the wall and is now doing exactly how some of you describe, raking out and pointing. Have to say, its taking him forever, 2...

Thanks Woody - when you say wary - as in the mortar will fall out if pointed afterwards? I spoke to him, apparently hes always done it that way ..... Hmmm

Hello, just wanted to ask people who knew more their view - am having a wall built at the front of my house - short wall with railings on top. The chap building the wall is doing it in an odd way in that he is not pointing it as he goes along - reckons he does it all at the end? I guess my...

I'm afraid so, I didn't read how to put it back on properly, and I think I must have used more force than was required! I've replaced the hinges on the actual door, that hasn't worked. I've also got the "other" bit which the hinge drops into, that is my last ditch attempt to fix it...

Thank you, it is hard wired in, the switch for it is in the back of another cupboard in the kitchen. I was hoping that we can simply shut electrics off in the kitchen, remove old oven and rewire the new one into where the old one came out of - I'm guessing there is some connector behind the...

I did a stupid thing and decided to clean the oven, took the door off and when I put it back on, I somehow managed to bend the hinges, or perhaps the door, I've replaced the hinges but the door still doesn't fit properly, so I give up! We've decided to buy a new one before Christmas and...

Hi - thanks for replies, to clarify... ... the drawing ... i have amended, it is just a rubbish sketch but hopefully this one makes more sense! There were no chimneys on these walls before. - the underfloor heating. It is a sealed system, so since the pressure has not dropped, the...

Thanks Woody - so I guess this is one way I can get rid of the dreadful tiles we put down in the kitchen then! I guess it is time to lift them and have a look. Eek. Please let it be obvious, do not want to move the underfloor heating.

So, my sorry tale.. - 2 months ago it started and is now about 2 foot up the wall in my dining room. - it is an internal wall, we've had the underfloor heating checked and is apparently not leaking. Damp has come through on both sides of the wall, in the dining room and in the utility...
