Hello everyone, I had my bathroom done around 2 or 3 years ago. We have small hexagonal floor tiles laid upon screed (due to electric UFH). The tiles are quite low profile and therefore not much grout down the side of the meshed hexagonal tiles. The cement grout has washed out in small areas...

That does seem awfully expensive for decking but thanks for the heads up

I have read your post with great interest. I am inclined to agree with you as regards expensive elements... definitely factors in driving up the cost. Panoramic Doors - I would say quite as much as £8k... probably more akin to £5k UFH (Wet) - no idea Composite deck - sounds too much Zinc -...

Well those builders need to understand its a budget cost... not a quote that you are asking for. If they were experienced enough they should be able to put a budget cost together for you.

I selected this architect as he has done many extensions in the area... and to that end... it makes me think the builder is quoting high... otherwise how would he have such repeat business if he was continually off the mark budget wise with his designs. He has delivered on the design and we...

It is not a straight-forward extension of tacking a box onto the back of house. There is a lot of demolition, putting right and extending I guess. And I hear more and more that material costs play a part given the difficulty getting them what with the ongoing Corona virus situation...

Hi Woody. Yes they are an architects "concept" drawings. We have not submitted any formal drawings to planning authorities yet. He certainly has delivered on the design brief but not the cost. However the budget cost does seem awfully high. Time will tell when costs are received from another...

OK good to know re: life and care. I reckon cedar it is then.

Hello. I am currently in the process of having an extension designed. The external finish will be white render with grey brick at the bottom, zinc and I am looking to add some wooden cladding. I love the look of Western Red Cedar. Have also been thinking about larch. Any...

Hello all. Has anyone come across and tried and tested (even unique on the market) product that will seal a gutter joins. 1_Mastic - almost always fails and too messy 2_Supplied rubber seals - I have replaced the joins and the supplied seals are not a match for my older half round gutters...

Hello all. What is the going hourly rate for a self employed electrician in Glasgow?

Thank you - I shall look into this also.

Thank you

Hello all, I have a little fabric stool in my hallway. I tried to clean a mark on the fabric whilst the mark has gone I am left with a horrible watermark. I can I get this looking like new again?

Thanks for the info. Do you have a link to the one you purchased?

The property below floor level is like swiss cheese... rot will not be an issue... coupled with the fact there are numerous other air bricks around the property. I had considered what you have alluded to ;-)

Hi all, I recently smashed out two air bricks on the front of my property with a view to installed LED brick lights. The air bricks I removed are of standard size. If the LED brick lights I source do not fit the newly created aperture then I will use some type of expanding construction form...
