Zampa - Great tip with the undercoat - thanks for that, am in the same boat next weekend with a lot of new plaster to paint - and lots of edges!

Thanks for your response, not quite what I was expecting, I was simply trying to get an idea of how much it costs because I have no idea how long it takes, what gadgets and tools are required, or indeed other materials i had not even considered. I am not a carpenter and don't have the...

I am hoping you can help. We are nearing the end of a large project and two of the final things are to - replace the current upvc front door with a wooden one - hardwood frame, replace glass above the door, supply door (nothing too special, just two panels of glass in top half), supply...

Thanks for the replies, really appreciate your knowledge, as you can tell, I have none on the subject! It is a ground floor kitchen extension. The heating pipes are sitting in/on that silver insulation. There is a void underneath, and there are air bricks on the outside. Its a good...

I am planning on painting the 3ft concrete wall outside my house tomorrow - if it doesn't rain! I've scrapped off the old paint that was peeling off. Have bought exterior undercoat and gloss. Because I've now gone down to the bare concrete, do i have to seal it before i undercoat? Many...

Hi, thank you for all your replies. The pump is a boiler pump, not a shower pump. So from what you're all saying, sounds like 4.5k quote is a bit high. We'll get another quote. Any of you work in wimbledon?!

Hello, am hoping someone can help us. We have been quoted £4,500 to supply and install a new megaflow tank with 6m pump and a boiler. We are changing from a gravity fill system. We have been upgrading the bathrooms in a very run down house, and the reason for the pump is because we have a...
