    Are receipts required to be given to customer?

    I'm very inexperienced in employing builders. I've just had a job done (installation of new wetroom) and the builder quoted me £1,500* for materials, which on request I paid him a week after he started work. He later asked for another £100 saying prices had recently risen and he'd not asked for...

    Must a shower room have an extractor fan?

    Spent ages searching for a definitive, correct answer. Old house but inside it, a section of the kitchen has been taken to create a small downstairs wetroom. This contains a toilet, basin and a shower on a riser. There are two windows in the room which both open. I have been told categorically...

    Advice needed please - washbasin

    Please can someone help? The builders finished creating a new wetroom today. They are coming back tomorrow (Sat) to finish the associated decorating. After they left I had a good look, and I really don't like the way the water pipes are so prominent and noticeable. So I looked online at...

    WETROOM WALLS?

    I'm in charge of choosing everything for my new tiny wetroom. By tiny I mean it is literally 1200 x 1200. Really just a toilet with a shower handset on a riser rail. I have builders doing the work but it's up to me to make all the decisions and to pay for it all :) So, my query is, how to...

    Cantilevered (?) triangular basin support - feasible?

    I have a handsome 1930s basin I'd like to install in my bathroom. Its 69cm wide and 47cm deep (fron to back). I don't want it on a vanity basin or a pedestal or brackets. I'd like to construct a timber frame to support the basin and hide the pipework. The wall is a solid, Victorian brick...

    MDF "thingy" - what is it called please?

    I want to search the Net for suppliers of a certain type of MDF decorative panel which I have seen in various designs, such as chinese characters, waves, and perforated with starfish and fish. It's a very thin panel, maybe 6cm high, and you can use it to put a front on a shelf. This...

    Grapevine in my conservatory?

    I know absolutely nothing about plants. In a cafe's conservatory on the Isle of Wight I saw a beautiful, long grapevine strung across back and forth. Now I am wondering if I could have such a grapevine in my own UPVC conservatory. I live on the coast near Hastings. Would the...

    Ideas needed please! Space above shower - what to do with it

    Hi folks! I need some ideas for what to do, and hope people can make suggestions. [Sorry for mixing imperial with metric.] I am having a shower (760 x 1200 tray) fitted in the corner of my bedroom. Now, because it is a bedroom I don't want a glass cubicle as I find them rather cold and...
