Hello, I have a downstairs baywindow in the kitchen. We would like to install a sink, cistern and pan and build a dividing wall so that we can have a separate toilet from the kitchen. This would mean taking out the window and bricking it. How difficult is this job? Do I need planning...

Hi, A friend of mine has been doing some work in his house and the vibrations have caused the cutout cover to fall off cause the screws were taken out ages ago by the previous owners. He has been fobbed off by the usual call centre bimbo so he's thinking of putting it back on himself. It's...

Daytona, your intentions are noble but, in the case of british muslims for example, they are muslim first and british second. I don't think this is acceptable. I also don't think it is acceptable that mosques are being built at the tax payers expense and these so called places of worship are...
