Hi, I'm about to lay some laminate in two rooms (nursery and an office) and wanted to ask you guys what type of underlay you think will be best to use for rooms like this. Neither room will get a lot of traffic. Both rooms are upstairs. Both rooms have chipboard sub-floors and look pretty...

Hi, I've recently had an electrician round to fit a new circuit for me in to my bathroom ceiling. I didn't have the LED lights at the time, but they have since arrived and I now want to connect them up. Both the LED driver and the LED strip lights are IP67 waterproof, and I need to make my...

Hi guys, Hoping someone here can help :) I'm currently in the middle of refurbishing our bathroom and I've now finished all of the tiling / flooring / ceiling / etc, and I'm ready to start fitting the bath/shower/sink/ toilet in to a room which is pretty much bare. At present, I've...

Hi guys, I'm currently fitting a new bath and shower, and we've hit a snag with the exposed shower mixer. The house is 1930's, the original bathroom is on the ground floor, and is in a small room which is built on the side of the house (3 external walls, & roof). We wanted to chase the...

Hi, We've just had a couple of quotes for a new central heating system, and I wanted to see if you guys thought the quotes were reasonable or expensive. We're having 6 radiators fitted (lounge, kitchen, bathroom towel rail, bed1, bed2, & bed3). They will also be fitting 5m external pipe...

Hi guys, We've just received a £900 quote from SGN to fit a gas connection to our house (we have no existing connection) in preparation for a new central heating system. In the quote they state they will fit the box no more than 2 meters down the side of the house (we're semi-detached)...

Hi, we had a 55x78cm Velux window fitted by a local roofer over the weekend in our ground floor extension, and I just want to get some opinions on what you think about the job. Here's a pic of the outside: And here's a pic of the inside: It'd be great to get some feedback on the...

Hi guys, I've never fitted a roof window before, but I'm hoping to fit two new 55x78cm Velux or Keylite windows opposite each other in our ground floor bathroom. I've just cleared the ceiling plasterboards to inspect the area above. I've taken some photos and scribbled on them to try to...

Hi guys, I was just about to start ripping down the ceiling in our bathroom when i noticed that the plasterboard had a grey/blue tint in the plaster (within the plasterboard), and that the paper lining seemed to be old & fibrous. Which got me thinking that the paper and/or plaster might...
