Hi has anyone received a quote for Modus uPVC windows? Can I ask ballpark how much you were charged for a double or triple glazed casement window roughly 1.3 x 1.8m? I'd like to know if it's worth getting a quote but no window suppliers can tell me (why??)? Thanks

Won't that damage the tiles?

Hello, During our renovation, our builders suggested we don't retile the floor of our utility room and instead remove the lino that was stuck on top. After three days with a blowtorch they gave up. The floor now looks like this. Any ideas on how we get the rest off?

Why is this a last resort solution, sounds ideal as it is least disruptive. What does an engineered wood floor repair do? Are you meaning I should nail the floor down? Thanks, it's a kitchen - dining - living room. The living room has existing concrete floor and is cornered off by three walls...

Thanks I'm looking for solutions. Any suggestions?

Hello, We have had a new floor laid of engineered wood over screeded floor and existing concrete floor, all a continuous area. The floor is very springy where the screeded floor meets the existing concrete floor and in parts of the screeded floor. The screeded floor was very level when it was...

Thank you. Forgive my ignorance but which is the glass fuse and which is the poly? The fuse spur external to the panel or the one inside the panel?

Hi I have initially searched this forum but could not find an answer. Our builders removed the bell from our burglar alarm to carry out some work. We put the bell back and the unit seemed fine. There was no tamper light. However none of the PIR sensors work anymore. There are no lights on any...

Hello, We've got a rear extension which we are just about to install the radiators for, but the plumber thinks we don't have enough heat for the open plan kitchen dining. I've attached a diagram. Using the DIY.com BTU calculator we need 13,000 for a dining room of 9 x 4m with 2.7m ceilings. The...

Hi RandomGrinch - that drawing is what I was expecting, but our actual building work differs!

We're getting an extension with a warm deck roof and have a question about how the wall needs to meet the roof to have good insulation. I've attached an image of the build as it is now. As I understand it, in a warm deck roof the wall insulation should meet the roof insulation forming a...

Thank you @JobAndKnock . Does it need to be a liquid DPM on top? What DPM would you recommend to install before laying the flooring? If I install a DPM, how long do I need to wait to install the flooring / what should the moisture content be?

Hi how soon after installing engineered wood flooring can you install the kitchen? We can't do it the other way round because we have free standing units. Thanks

Has anyone actually waited the full drying time for screed? What's the reality for laying engineered wood flooring on standard screed?

Hello, Could anyone advise how much of an overhang we should have on our flat roof for our single storey rear extension? There is no issue with boundaries. It's a Southeast facing rear extension so we want to maximise sunlight, but protect the windows which span most of the 9m. Thanks

Thanks yes we were thinking of battens then T&G. How does this compare to screed?

Hi we have had the following specifications for our extension (kitchen and dining), picture attached. We are put off by the drying time for the 63mm screed, which our builder said would take 100 days. We are having engineered wood flooring and no UFH. Could anyone advise please: What's the...
