    Best thing to clean porcelain tiles?

    I have porcelain tile in my bathroom. I don't know a huge amount about tiles, but I think mine were unsealed. What this meant was the tiles looked great going up, but after grouting it was nearly a disaster - in that I had 20m2 of expensive mirror fleck tiles with a grey whitish tinge to them...

    It got picked up in the end (after 3 weeks) by the 2nd company. Going to be a more weary in future. Nearly got to the point of knocking on doors of addresses I found online!

    Skip company disappeared, 8 yard skip on my driveway...

    The company is listed as sole trader.. the its registered office is the same as another limited company with a similar name dealing in waste which is registered on the other side of London.

    Skip company disappeared, 8 yard skip on my driveway...

    Odd one this... a couple of month ago I had a skip put on the drive way. Now It's full, one of the numbers I had for the skip company doesn't connect, and the other one, they claim to be a different skip company. The person on the other end of the phone, insists that they they are a different...

    Just read from another former Hostage (French probably paid ransom) that they were put through mock executions several times so wouldn't have know they were about to be murdered... you probably loose the will to live being taken to the edge repeatedly The whole outfit is run by a bunch of...

    Wonky wall, best method to apply scratch coat?

    Your lucky, a couple of mm is nothing. I'm prepping a wall with a fireplace taken out. It looked flatish from a distance but and it's uneven and curved / bowed where the breast was taken out, and and over in inch out in places vertically as well as horizontally. If it was just 1 wall it...

    Skips

    I assume the skip is not blocking any driveway, in which case it's on the highway, for which the builder or skip company would have got a permit from the local council, so is allowed. We don't own the road in front of our houses, you can kick up a fuss if it's causing an obstruction to for...

    Sound Proofing

    It wasn't hard at all.. Aside from a little more time there's nothing much to it, just adds one extra step (putting bars to the joists, the plasterboards you have to screw up anyway) They probably have never used them.. or doesn't want to spend the time on them.. They aren't a common thing...

    Sound Proofing

    I'm doing similar right now, having pulled down an old ceiling. From all the reading I've done, for best sound insulation, and not huge cost, use resilient bars on the ceilings (they screw into the joists and you screw the plasterboard into them)...

    Britain pledges another £8M in aid

    normally I'd agree.. but it's pretty sickening reading / hearing about the genocide of a group / race of people by sick disillusion extremists. Personally I'm happy for my tax to contribute to help them (see below how it is being spent), in this instance, 10,000s are starving to death having...
