I have this external wall I don’t know any to add flowers on top How can I finish the top off ? Can I add flags on top?

All the door hinges in this house have been recessed too deep as in photo. The new hinge holes are in a different place. What’s the best thing to do. Usually I re-drill the holes with 4.5mm drill bit and fit 5mm dowels with gorilla expandable glue and fill the gap with filler ready for the...

My gas fitter wrapped the boiler isolator cable around the flow pipe of the boiler that gets hot. Although it only gets hot up to 60c isn’t that a bad practice for damaging the outer sheath of the cable ?

I ended up installing a flush MK cooker outlet, it didn't take that long as the back was a breeze block easily drilled out. I did use a 47mm flush box that was a bit deeper than expected. Used a standard grommet, 6mm cable went through fine. The problem is I did not use a mask while drilling...

The tenant is moving this week and have no time chiselling the wall to put a flush mount box and don’t think a surface mount one fits in. I’ll have a look, unless I put it I. The cabinet next to it Can I actually place it here the cooker outlet? Or attach it to the back wall?

I’m connecting a hob cable to a 6mm via a whiska weatherproof junction box underneath the cooker. Do you know what gland sizes I need for the flat 6mm cable is it 20mm or 25mm. Also what size wago connectors do I need I can see the 4mm ones on Screwfix but do they do a larger one.

My door fitter told me it might have metal inside the red space

They do two different thicknesses letter boxes some start as low as 20-40mm. I like the idea of fitting it on the right panel rather than on the door.

The roofer is putting a one piece rubber sheet so he said it will not leak. He suggested the cladding as tenants tend to fit things at ceiling level thus making holes in the rubber sheet. The cladding just stop then from doing this.

I removed a porch and now the inside UPVC door has not got a letter box. Where do I make the cut as in red or green outline. The red area is very close to the glass.

I’m having a garage roof done with one piece rubber sheet at the top. Internally the roofer gave me these two options. Either leave it bare timber as in photo 01 2nd Option is plastic cladding I have 3 bungalows with tin roof and the condensation on the inside roof is mad! The roofer said...

It’s frustrating I have to supervise every trade!

My joiner cut the kitchen worktop on one side flush with the carcass of the base unit. So there is no lip on one side where the kitchen sink clips can crap onto. Are they any other type of clips I can improvise or I guess the alternative to cut a piece of thin timber and screw it at the edge of...

Sorry I wasn’t clear on the bungalow been new. There was already a brick structure with wooden doors and windows and a plastic roof. I paid £4K to have a tile roof, plastered and brand new windows soffits and gutters. ( see photos ) At some point I want to change the roof so yes it would be...

Yeah good I’m raising it now as we speak as I feel it is a bit low, thanks for your recommendation

UPDATE The expensive one rung me up and he said he can do 2 roofs for £14500 including gutters fascia and soffits in the second property as the first already done it so basically two roofs for £13200.( £5500 per roof plus vat )

I'm thinking of raising it up to 650mm despite the book saying minimum 550mm. Do I need to raise the hood all the way to the ceiling fo aesthetics or any practical reason or doesn't matter you think?

That's so true for the expensive quote. He mainly does gutters, fascias and soffits and they are booked up for months plus they have a trade shop where they are selling plastics.

Sorry there are 16 rows per side I think more like 832 tiles plus ridge tiles. The £7800 asked me to give him cash but this is a BTL company so i don't deal with cash as I need invoices for HMRC. So the price includes VAT. I did not ask the second one if he is VAT registered but they are a...

I guess that’s the best thing to do. I don’t quite understand how trade people can quote jobs so far apart. In the end of the day it is 576 tiles timber battons, two three rolls of felting the verge the ridges and sundries, screws nails etc.
