ah I thought they would still be there now and super aggressive as it’s the autumn

Odd question! I have a garden and have chopped down a tree and bushes etc last year. I piled the wood and branches etc by the entrance to the lane (to deter would be burglars as I don’t have a gate!) I need to now create a clearing as someone who lives with me has a bike and wants access...

Hi, just putting doors on this opening. It’s an old coal bunker. Inside are the joists under my kitchen. I checked them all using a wood probe and they are registering about 17% on the pine setting. This isn’t too concerning given interior ones are 13%. however, one bit of wood in...

not met a mr Cunningham did you recommend him? Cant see a comment relating to him

yes all included

It’s via another person who sent him the quote I got from British Gas. I get the feeling he didn’t go into the weeds with it.

Sorry guys just a sense check on something someone has said. I had 3 quotes for the following work. baxi back boiler removed Combi install to upstairs and gas supply Flue to loft Replace 8 fairly large radiators Move 2 radiators and create a new one (not just replace, new pipework needed to...

Hi, ive been a bit slack keeping my oven/grill clean. the grill bit above won’t light and is clogged with tons of food/fat/soot. The oven function works. ive been trying to get the gunk off the grill but despite repeated applications of various oven cleaners I can’t get it to light - see...

Just FYI the quote I got was huge. 8 rads replaced Baxi back boiler removed New Worcester boiler with gas routed to upstairs Flue from airing up to roof Some 22mm pipe down stairs as it’s currently 15mm Tanks in loft removed total £6500 reduced to £6000 I spoke to a local guy after who said...

so you’re saying BG installs aren’t as much of a rip off as they were. not sure what you mean by logics - is that a boiler brand? I want a Worcester, hoping they will do them ?

you’re saying they’re crap if they don’t quote? im going to have to use British Gas then. I think I’m going to get shafted but if nobody wants the work it’s what I’m stuck with.

Hi, while doing my floor it’s clear I need to upgrade my old baxi to a new combi. I hate the fire front and the system is rubbish. I need 8 new rads, a new combi and a flue. I stuck to tested logic and got recommended local guys. the first highly recommended guy visited, said he would give...

The frame is a solid slab of wood about 3 ft by 2. the legs are about 3 inch squared each. just really can’t be bothered taking the thing to bits. It’s a very light and cheap timber bed. I suppose I could varnish one half, wait a long time for it to cure and then move the bed

One other thing, I have to move furniture. Can I varnish one half, dry and then move the bed? Will it create a line or be ok

tin doesn’t mention varnishing. But if you think it’s worth it I can do it

I got some clear Matt vanish and was going to sand my floorboards and varnish. They were so dirty I decided to use wood stain. I did 3 coats and it looks great. I’m wondering do I need to use a varnish coat on top? My mum (apologies this makes me sound about 10 years old but she’s not too...

i just went off the yellow pages. Not a tradesmen site.

The first guy who is quoting, can’t find them on companies house. No reviews in online space but trading since 2000. Website fairly good with examples of work. Seem like a proper firm. How does it work these days. I am inclined not to pay anything till the work is done. Is that how it works...

Aren’t they insured? I just got them off yell.com.

So I got the plans back. He said without a goalpost I can remove about 8ft which opens it up nicely. However, I would like it opened up more but this would need a goalpost. the job I have he said that builders probs would charge £1500 - £2000 but others I know who’ve had this done say...
