Cheers, i'm guessing it'll be a scaffolding job over the garage for the roof apex. Its about 9 or 10 ft to the roof apex from the garage apex.

Hi, Does anyone know how much painters charge per day? I'm looking to get my external woodwork painted, mostly fascias. All doors & windows are upvc. Image of house below. Thanks

Thanks all. Got it sorted. Unfortunately the B&Q instructions that came with this were not worth the paper they were written on. Totally misleading.

Great, think I've got it then. So 2 supply neutral to neutral on fitting. 1 switched live to live on fitting 3 x earth to earth on fitting. 3 x red live to separate terminal block on it's own?

I have just bought a new light fitting and have come to install and am slightly confused. The existing ceiling rose is of the standard configuration. 3 live into the central terminal ( 2 supply, 1 switch ) 3 earth into another terminal ( 2 supply, 1 switch ) 2 neutral into a terminal ( 2...

Strangely enough the only telltale signs is the fact there seems to be nothing, no nails or screws. The chipboard is 600mm wide x 2000mm long & interlocking. I'm assuming the joins between the chipboard sits on the joists themselves, which i assume are 600mm apart??

Have managed to do something about the height issue and have gone for 18mm ply. From looking at the chipboard, its difficult to tell where the joists are underneath as i want to screw into the joists where possible. There doesn't appear to be much in the way of nailheads etc which would...

Thanks for the all the advice. Certainly gives me something to think about. We now have part of the laminate flooring up & the chipboard seems very sound & well held down with no noticeable movement. We have a slight issue in that we are intending on using 10mm tiles, and height is likely...

The chipboard is floating on the floor joists. ( not sure how wide apart they are or how thick the chipboard is.) But the advice we've had so far is to put plywood down and screw to the chipboard flooring before tiling. I'm not sure what thickness is correct, or whether ply is correct at all.

The advice was that we lay the plywood on top of the chipboard rather than replace so that we give the chipboard more strength. What info do i need?

Hi, We are having a new kitchen put in & deciding to replace the laminate flooring with porcelain tiles. We have the interlocking ( tongue & groove? ) chipboard flooring rather than floorboards. We've had some advice already from a tile shop who recommended we put down 6mm exterior...

These are Boss Supreme TRVs. They come with a plastic cap which screws on instead of the thermostatic top and push down the valve down (i think). However it also appears these have a 0 'shutoff' setting. Which should do the trick.

Thanks Graham, thats helpful. Not sure what make of valves they are. I do have the valve boxes in the garage which were left after we had our new boiler fitted last year. I noticed when i looked in the boxes last year there were some leftover bits in there, possibly the caps so i'll take a...

A fairly easy task to most on here. We're currently decorating and i need to remove our living room radiators so we can paint & fit new skirting boards ( eventually the plumber will be refitting new radiators). I assume it's fairly straightforward, i.e. closing off the return on one side...

I have a leak from my Aplha CD35C. The boiler occasionally has a catastrophic leak and water drips from a small hole under the boiler and the pressure drops to the point where the boiler switches itself off and i have to top up. The boiler then continues to leak for 10-15 mins then stops...
