any idea on price of an engineer?(I know it all depends on your area)

I'm going to knock down an internal wall in my livingroom to open it up a bit and build a new porch as I will loose the old one when the wall comes down. My question is ,who should i contact first with regards knocking down the wall and building the porch.Should it be the local building...

The house was built in 1980,but i think its the original system thats in it.All thats been changed is the boiler,which is a 1 year old condensing boiler by british gas ,they also replaced the TRV with british gas ones.I just wish they'd replaced the rads.

Is this stuff any good?.I've got it in my new house and I'm thinking its the cause of the rubbish heating(along with the rubbish rads).I'm getting some building work done in the next few months and was wondering if its worth replacing it with 15mm copper piping.

The rads are roasting hot all over ,they just dont give out a decent heat.The room isnt much bigger than the last place.

I've just moved into my new house and have noticed the heating isnt to great.The problem being (I think) is I have old single rads being feed with 8mm microbore pipe.They are feed by a condensing boiler(1 year old)and they are all placed under windows.Would it make sence to replace all the old...

Sorry I didn't mean drain them I meant bleed them. I just bleed the the rads because they were not heating up all over. The combi is a worcester bosch 28i junior as stated above. The noise appears to come from the boiler. All the air is bleed from the rads as water starts to come out when...

Worchester bosch 28i junior had it about 18 months.

I had a problem with my radiators a while back ,as in they were not heating up fully so I drained them ,but the pressure dropped on the combi ,so I topped it up ,but I put to much pressure in so now when ever we use the hot water tap it bangs.My question is how do I drop the pressure ,I only...

Dig a shallow hole and use scaffolding wood?

Thats what we did with the work surfaces as they were expensive and it only cost £100 for the guy to fit it.

Sorry I was think of the states I'm sure they have 110v.

The thing is if its a euro 2pin then surely the power supply is only 110v and if you jam it into uk power sockets (230v) then they're gonna blow it up anyway.

I fitted my kitchen my self over 3 weeks and as much a pain in the arse it was ,im glad I did it.It saved me over £1000 they wanted to fit it.

I got some black cheapy (Homebase £5 sq/m) tiles ages ago for my bathroom.The problem is I grouted them with white grout and forgot to clean them thoughly.Does anyone know a good product to clean them ,I tried some powerful cleaner that I got from tops tiles ,but it didnt work very well. Thanks

Rubbish ,I've just had a guy skim my bathroom ceiling after I took down the horrible polystyrene tiles.

Just a quick question.What is the best brand/type of wood paint for a stair well ,I was told to use gloss but it always seems to have a really lumpy finish and make it look cheap.

sorry ,I meant the vertical bits of wood that join the stairs together.I just wondered if they were taking the load of the stair above ,so if i chopped them would I wake up in the morning and find i have no stair.

The stringers? ,are either screwed or nailed(nailed more likely) into the landings,and imgetting the joiner to make me new post so it looks better thats why I'm not sure if I should let him chop them.

Theres another peice of would on the other stair.what do you think?
