The problem is because of the draw unit under the joint.....its not moved, when the slab was put in place it would not sit level because the support was all on the left hand side due to it sitting on the upstand sides of the cupboard next to it . Then the other 75 of the worktop was left trying...

Yes i have outlined what i want from him in my last email, hes not interested he just said ill see you in court then, i get the impression this is something he has been through before, or he is just so thick skinned and determinedly stubborn. with regards to the kitchen unit movement , the...

Thanks to everyone for commenting and giving their thoughts on this , and it seems a lot of good points have be risen as to what and what not to do, i personally don't think the bloke has a leg to stand on with the worktops failing and would be proved at fault . The one thing im...

Unfortunately we cant , when i started this project I took 50k cash from the bank to pay tradesmen and buy materials cheaper, something i now regret . The guy has been horrible thought out , there was a few minor niggles after fitting with regards to the sealer being patchy and not applied...

Hi All , Im hoping some of you will be able to give me some pointers and help in a dispute im having with a tradesman over some kitchen worktops. We had some bespoke slate worktops made and fitted for our new kitchen in our bungalow renovation. once our kitchen base units had been fitted we...

Im just in the process of having some 5.5m Ali bifolds fitted by a local company who have a very high reputation in our area for quality , they have used this company www.prefixsystems.co.uk (which use smart Aluminium bi folds) to supply the doors . Id never heard of them through all my...

Thanks for your replies, yes i'm being very over precautious as this installation has cost 12k and the last time I had windows fitted in my current home when the house was re dashed because there is flint in the dashing it chipped the new glass and left all the sills peppered as the lads...

Thanks for that Doggit, I was thinking more some type of boarding to protect from any knocks and bangs but the only thing i can think of is double sided tape and ply board....but the only problem is the ply will buckle under sunlight and rain and maybe pull off.......my biggest problem is i've...

I've just had my new windows fitted in my bungalow renovation . But with lots of work still to do Im looking for someway of covering the windows and the frames with some thing better than the tape they came in from any accidents as there is still lots of work to be done....eg internal...

Thanks for the replys , I couldn't really see a problem but I wasn't sure so thought best to ask

Im about to put a new heating system in my bungalow renovation, as part of the renovation I am going to add 100mm kingspan in between the floor joists. Is it ok to channel out the kingspan either 22mm or 15mm and put the pipes in it where needed? or is this not a good practice ? will the...

The reason i'm not consulting my electrician about this is because I haven't got one yet that is reliable, i've had 3 quotes for a re wire all 3 said when you need to cut off the power to strip the house they each said they would come round and do it and leave a supply next to the meter for...

The other side of the wall is the driveway , the gas meter has just been moved in to a box directly behind the wall as it was in a cupboard next to the electric meter. I have thought about relocating the meter and its supply but can't really think of a convenient place to put it, other than...

At the moment the house is a bare shell there are no wires or pipes in it anywhere as I have completely stripped it. So it's getting a rewire and re plumb from scratch and as this is a bungalow most of the wireing will be under the floor hopefully. I should have mention that not only will...

Thanks for the replies, the reason I ask is because I want to use 2 separate ovens with slide and hide doors on them and I can only have this configuration if they are side by side apparently. The main cable from the CU runs up out of the floor from the wall behind it which is external , and I...

I Think I know the answer to this question as I think it's more common sense than anything ....but I'm no professional and there could be a way My consumer unit is in the bottom of the left cupboard. ...is it possible to have one of the ovens in a cupboard above it rather than above each...

sounds about right that really, see i told you chips away was on the blag,he would have just polished it and you would have thought he`d have done a top paint job and recomended him to evey one, i know he just a guy trying to make a livin but in these hard times its best to do a lot of work for...

For a start i wouldnt let chips away paint my garden fence!!!!!! There is no way they are capable of painting the areas you described as damaged, especially to the standard that it was before your little accident. I think it sounds like for the price hes quoted you an expensive polishing job...

I will now give you the advice of someone who has worked in a bodyshop for over 20yrs (myself). Dont panic its ok, a body shop will be able to polish it back up for you with a machine, it will take around 1 hr and should`nt cost you any more than £40/£50. We use a product called scotchbright...
