Don't worry too much about technicalities. That lead sealant sticks to everything in any shape or form. Just make sure you clean very thoroughly before applying. Vacuuming the joints is best.

I know the feeling my brother. I went to Bulgaria last summer and it was a nightmare to change currency. Damn pound sterling! I had to choose one of the hundreds bureau de change, talk to a very attractive lady who spoke English better than me and spend the whole of 3 minutes there. That...

Yes, that's what I would do.

Anyone had any problem going to Europe to spend our pound sterlings?

Here in London probably £5k excluding material.

Sue him.

If he's in the union, their solicitors will get him compensation. Home insurance of the dog owner will cover that. If not insured, the dog owner will be out of pocket.

£30k if you leave the bathroom where it is, use reasonable material and do it yourself. £50 for something fancier and bathroom relocation providing it can be done (check drains) £100+ if you let someone else do it.

£610K for a first time buyer??? what's gonna be his final house, a castle??? Anyway, at that price he can offer £600K based on the non compliant landing and see what happens. I suppose there won't be a crowd of buyers at that price, unless it's in a prime location.

How's the back of the wardrobe flat to the wall? Don't you have skirting boards? Furniture shouldn't be attached to walls, otherwise there's a risk of condensation and hidden mould build up.

Never worked on estimates. But I always had a clause in my contracts stipulating that any unexpected hidden problems might grant a quote review. With larger jobs, usually customers don't mind you digging around to expose potential disaster areas.

Use a tap set to get a threaded hole of 10 or 12mm, then bolt.

But you could use a pattress box of suitable depth to make the socket stick out enough. Cutting a hole in the wardrobe and leaving the socket there would probably be best as jj4091 suggested.
