I have a out building at the bottom of my garden and the walls have been plastered and painted, which I use as a gym. But the problem is it's freezing cold, simply because the builders never put insulation in. What are my options? Take it all off, pump-in insulation, etc?

I had a GPR roof installed on a wooden cabin a few years ago by a builder that insisted on doing it rather than a felt roof. He's since gone bust but I've paid to get it repaired twice now by two parties and still it leaks, it's costing a lot of money and the internal ceiling is all moldy and...

Hi all I'm getting a new bathroom done, I'm looking at a concealed toilet but worried if I get it the plumber will moan about the instructions and how difficult it is to fit. So I'm asking any plumbers for recommendations, which ones are easiest to fix (for a decent price) I'm keeping an eye...

I'm in a dispute with my builder where I've paid up front for him to excavate earth from the back of my garden. In his quote he stated that all waste soil to be disposed of by hire of a skip. So he orders an average sized skip when really he should have ordered a really big one like a 12...

Before taking up a building job, the builder agreed to a 30% retainer to be paid on completion, it was 30% because we didn;t know him so it may have been a little high but he agreed to it. So far he has been a pain in the ass. Alway disappearing on other jobs and our job has over run by 3 weeks...

I\\\'m trying to connect a new extractor fan in my bathroom, it\\\'s powered from the bathroom circuit and not the corded light switch, and the on/off control comes from the fan\\\'s humidity sensor. Out of the wall comes for wires, red, blue, yellow and earth. In my fan there are two...

Hi All I've just had new combi system installed, but the company that did it just did a chemical flush and not a power flush. is this a major problem and did they cut corners. I did remember from other quotes that some companies said that systems that are not power flushed could invalidate...
