Yes, fit for purpose is a good tool. Yes, there is no paper warranty on this project - complicated, but other attachments I have will act as leverage if required. I can see from the work done, that it'll have to be re-laid in 12 months. Wanted an idea when it comes to arguing his best option...

What kind of warranty should be expected on a newly laid patio? I see some traders suggesting 4 year even.

Wow, this stuff's pricey..... but have to keep the parent warm all day/night when the rest of the house needs no heat at all! Thanks for the direction.

Job's not forthcoming - has issues [panic attacks, lack of confidence, perfectionist. Tried a production line job and they don't work to his high standard so paniced..... ] and so they've popped him on ESA for a while - but apparently that's not enough for a grant [ has loft and wall insulation...

Thanks for your reply - safety may be an issue - there is a rusty patch on the front of the case - he's concerned it may be rusting through - if it loses this integrity, is that an issue? Or does the case not need to be air 'tight' as such? 1 helpful sole suggested gluing a patch over the...

Are the TRV's which control individual radiators reliable? Have parent moving in to a couple of rooms and need to be able to heat them independently of the rest of the ground floor. Any brands looking better or worse than others - in your experience. As this is parent, I'm not too...

Brother has a very old boiler with a rusting case - feels it's time to change it but being unemployed [issues], he's on less than a budget! Currently has an Ideal Standard - Concorde WRS 40 balanced flue gas boiler. Preferably looking for something which is just a swap-out on the same...

Yeah, thanks! My guide rate was just an example of range - just trying to indicate a 'this to that' would be sufficient. Some interesting discussion, thanks!

Mod:- Please move is a more suitable forum is available, thanks! With the exception of JobCenterPlus, is there a site giving a guide regarding actual pay levels? Work are advertising but I know they are asking far too little - I would like to advise them of what the industry really thinks...

I don't go there. They are told the rules [ of which there are only about 10 which includes no smoking, no more than 2 in the shower at once, to lock the doors, to clean-up after themselves in the kitchen, load the dishwasher, unload the dishwasher, change loo rolls....... hell, it's real...

Thanks! I know prices vary country wide and according to how much of a regular customer folks are, but just didn't want to be presented with £80 when £40 or £50 was the going rate.

Have to replace a Double Glazed Sealed Unit on a friend's back door. I would like a guide price as to the glass, if anyone's a clue. It's the Top half of a uPVC back door. I assume doors have to use 4mm Toughened glass. 1095 x 745mm x 24mm thick. Though not the exact size, I'll obviously...

Hmmmm! I have 4 rooms let in my house - and 3 of them to smokers. The other 2 go out back to smoke, carefully dispose of the butts and carry on breathing a bit out there, as THEY don't want their rooms smelling smokey. Yet the 3rd, who does go outside to smoke [most of the time as far as...

I let rooms in my house - just using battery smoke detectors - some with the old fashioned radio-active gizmo and some with the newer photo-electric sensors I think. I'll have a sniff around for those specifically sensitive to cigarette smoke. Thanks!

Hey Folks! I appreciate there's an Alarms oriented forum, but as this is battery operated domestic, I think there maybe a wider audience here, with experience. I have a coupe of lodgers who are allowed to smoke outside, however occasionally I get a whiff of smoke inside which maybe from...

Hmmm! I'll get me chubby butt over there and have a look-see. I know the apexes of hinges to the tops of the frame are snug - but access to see the sides of the opener [ which I assume is the term for the moving piece of glass ] will take a ladder and efforts not to put my feet through the...

Mate of mine has a uPVC bathroom window which opens such that the bottom swings out, so 2 friction hinges - one on each side, and the locking mechanism on the bottom. When closing the window, the mushrooms of the lock are touching the frame on the left and right, but not the middle. It...

I ordered some. Told matey to wait or paint - his choice! Heh! Thanks folks!

Thanks! I may have to do this as there's no TLC near me. He can get his paint brush out.

Yeah! Them's the kiddies! Thanks! [/url]
