Hi I'm going to be painting pre-primed moisture resistant MDF (sliding wardrobe doors being built out of MDF), existing emulsion-painted walls, and (currently glossed) architraves and skirting boards. Am looking at a very dark inky blue. I was considering possibly using a paint sprayer to...

Hi , bumping.

This machine started not drying well, despite being full of rinse aid. Then it wasn't possible to select a programme - had to turn it off and on and use the default programme that this action selects. Has now progressed to barely washing and not being able to dry the load. What could be the...

Thanks for explaining, this is what I needed to understand.

Thanks - I get what the issue might be but I'm trying to establish - what actual work it will it actually involve. Checking out the issue you describe, what would actually have to be done, and furthermore, what's the possible cost?

I'm trying to understand, where within the plumbing would that item be and whatsnthe work involved - we gotta rip tiles off walls or what's the scoop?

The engineer did say that whilst going about his testing and replacing items that some water did drip out of the boiler (I think), as you describe. What would be involved exactly to sort this out then?

About 9 years ago now I had a modern Worcester Bosch combi boiler fitted along with a Bosch easyControl thermostat (which is also managed via the easyControl app). There have been problems on and off with the following: I'm upstairs running the bath and and it gets hot for a wee bit, then...

I've not done it yet, but definitely haven't ruled out using a concrete primer. It's what I put on top of the painted layer that I'll be applying, over the top of the concrete / concrete+primer, that I need to be sure to choose a varnish / sealant product with all the necessary ability to bond...

Thanks so much for your repkt. I'd not thought concrete sealant would work only because I've already painted the concrete, hence any concrete sealant applied wouldn't be in contact with that surface. The masonry paint I'm using (Johnstone's Smooth Masonry Stormshield, an acrylic resin based...

Hi Going to be stencilling a concrete patio using masonry paint but I want to seal it it once that's done so it can be cleaned and also to make sure that the paint doesn't get chipped, scuffed and marked. What would be a suitable varnish or sealant to use to give that protection, but also...

Yes, I can understand that securespark.

Yes, I hear what you're saying Andy for sure. There's every chance that there's two phases of work on offer here, and then you can't discount the real life recommendations you might give that lead to other jobs and what work that might lead to for sure. I've got a bit of plumbing work to do as...

Yes I totally get what you're saying Blup. And I think that's partly fair of me to be considering that a quote might be given a bit higher because of the need to 'make it worthwhile', you know? Which I can understand - it's a business and you can't things it at a loss - there's a rate you need...

They are already assembled, fully functioning lights.

And 'a couple of hours maximum' - again, what would this equate to in £££s?

Yes I think I said I was supplying the replacement light fittings - remove one, replace with new one. Yes the existing wiring and switches are serviceable. Let's assume that they are suitable for the wiring that is there (whether it is or not). The next step you say is the one I'm worried out...

Customer, sorry.

Hi I've got to put out a job for the following: Replace 4 x existing internal ceiling lights with different ceiling lights (1 x kitchen ceiling, 1 x hallway ceiling, 2 x living room ceiling) Replace 1 x existing exterior PIR wall light with a different wall light. No requirements to...

Hi there I'm living in a 2.5 storey townhouse and my bedroom is in the loft essentially. The sound insulation (I'm the middle of three houses sadly so side to side noise pollution is horrific from one of my neighbours but that's a whole 'nother thread!!). But the insulation of sound between...
