Hi I am going to get my whole house replastered soon, and removing tiles in the bathroom, under the window, these times did come up but it's loose as anything underneath, is this simple enough for a plasterer to sort out? Thanks

Plumber came back and removed all the excess pipework that should have been removed in the first place, he was very good about it as it wasn't him that did the work, just his staff He will send a quote for burying pipes into the walls, did say that the very top of the pipework coming in through...

Thanks for all the opinions guys, We have s very large window in the living room which is floor to ceiling, so the girlfriend wanted to keep that feature lol, so couldn't run radiator under the window, hence this wall, and one opposite (near back boiler position so pipework isn't seen) Just...

Thanks for the feedback, plumber is coming out on Wednesday anyway as his staff left some old pipework in which I was told would be removed That and I asked them not to hang all the rads as plasterer wants to do a lot of our walls, do I'll ask him my options then too and see what he's willing...

Ah not sure why I thought I posted them

Hi all Refurbing an entire house as I speak and first thing we have done is electric first fix and now the central heating system (changed back boiler to combi and added new radistors) New radiator on the living room, pipes came down as the boiler is on the middle floor.whats the best way to...

Honestly I wouldn't know, he showed me while I was there and with a screwdriver he was pulling away rust from inside the left panel without trying it seemed to be disintegrating. Wouldn't know how easy it is to replace bits for that etc. I've had 3 people out today and 2 quoting for a combi...

Thanks for the info, I'll post a picture of what I could get on my phone, the left hand side of the boiler is what he said made it unsafe

Thanks for the replies I heard of the bbu condensing back boiler but I thought that had now been discontinued now too, at least I can't see how to go about getting one on the baxi website. If they are still available with an electric front I'd consider that right now.go be honest as having...

Thanks all Personally I prefer a real fire to an electric one, would seem a shame to be able to have a new fireplace and then install an electric one, though wouldn't want an open fire reading most the heat is just escapes up the chimney. The boiler was condemned as the "damaged integrity"...

Hi I have house and every ceiling is artex. It's was built in 1970 so probably does contain asbestos though I've not had it tested What would be the best solution if I wanted it covering up and what would be the cheapest method? I've also got marks where covinf was stuck to the ceiling and...

Hi all Just had my back boiler condemned so now looking at getting a combination installed instead. My question really is what should I do with the currently ugly fireplace ? I like fires but think would rather a log burning stove or a nice real flame fireplace. Is it a fairly straight...

Hi all I'm getting my house modernised and getting an electrician I know to do the work for next changing sockets, lights, some wiring etc. He is not Part P registered so my understanding is he can't sign the work off himself afterwards and that we would need to get someone to sign it off and...

Hi guys I bought a house recently and it has cork tiles down on bathtoom, toilet room (both glued on to floorboards and also in the kitchen and dining room (both glued onto concrete) I spent about 4 hours scraping away and not getting too far though I did make a small dent I figure there.nust...

That's good news then and thanks for your help, I'd always thought if should be boxed in but in this case I'm glad I can see it then Out of interest, the large water tank in the picture above, souks you have any idea what they feed? I've read several things from those tanks supplying the...

So you think it's what I'm looking for?. I hadn't touched it in case water does come out on my living room floor lol, based on that day today that would be my luck. I did look behind all the cupbosrds I could get to, which was under the sink area and nothing there. I checked behind the washing...

Thanks all .Can't find it anywhere . I was also thinking maybe it's behind some kitchen cupboards. On the homebuyer survey also mentioned didn't see stopcock so assumes was being kitchen cupboards I'll ask some neighbours but there houses have been extended and alot more modern than my one...

Hi Daft post I know, ventured up into the loft for the first time today and out my foot into bit that's not boarded by accident. Caused a minor crack in the artex ceiling but don't know if it contains asbestos (late 60's house) so could well do. It doesn't look major but not sure if I should...

Hi. I have asked a few questions recently.on my plumbing as I'm trying to shut the water off to my house to fix something I've looked for the stopcock in the kitchen and a cupboard inside but I can't see it anywhere I've always wondered why I have this Tap in my living room near my back...

Thanks for that. Just reading around, alot of sites seem to suggest in older houses (mine was built in circa 1970) its quite common for only the kitchen tap to be mains fed, and often the bathroom fed by the tank, if that does make any difference in terms of shutting it off for example.
