I had the kitchen floor screeded over quarry tiles by the carpet fitter, as recommended by the carpet shop.The screed broke up in part about 4months later.Fitter then re screeded the affected area.Two and a half years down the line the vinyl looks awful with grease like marks appearing,some of them quite large.Fitter says its moisture coming up.What can I do

Exactly that. I do not need an account

The guy who gave me a quote for bathroom did not ask where stop cock was situated. should I be worried.

I wish to repair and relocate outside tap, expect to use four foot of pipe plus connections,at least two elbows, inline tap and end stop.

Why are the job leads different in price but the budget is less is some cases but more to buy??

Is it difficult to remove a cast iron w/c pipe and replace with black plastic equivalent?

I am doing level 2 pluming diploma, and i wanted to ask if i can work as a plumbers mate daytime. is the course i am doing fit to start as a plumbers mate or do i have to wait until the course finishes.?

I have a towel tail to move to decorate the bathroom. Is this something I can do myself?

How much would it cost for an outside tap

I've used rated people before and never come across this. I was under the impression that this was a free service for customers and a way of obtaining jobs for tradespeople. I've received a quote for a job I've posted and within this quote the tradesperson has added £10 for the cost of the lead for the job. Should I be paying him for buying my lead?

How much should it cost to fit a replacement electric shower?

My bowl just started draining totally after a flush. Whats the problem ?

We need new mixer taps but all new ones have hot on left and cold on right (opposite to us). Suppliers say labels on taps can't be swapped. Is it simple to just plumb our hot from right sise to left and vice versa to suit the new taps?

You say you connect people with quality local tradesmen, I was wondering, how do you know they are quality? is there some kind of vetting or do you base yourselves on ratings/feedback?

Hi, We are in the process of buying a house (1940s Semi) in a rural village which has no mains gas supply. The previous occupant was a single elderly lady who got by with three storage heaters and an immersion heater. We are a young couple and seeing this as a future family home and therefore want to install a futureproof system that's not going to cost a fortune to run. However, we may sell if work requires in a few years so do want to be conscious of not spending too much upfront if we won't see it back. We know we definitely want a log burner which has a heater element which we will use to provide space heating and hot water during the winter. This has led us down the thermal store route. The question is what do we do for the rest of the year when we don't want to light a log fire to get hot water. We have considered: Air source heat pumps - but think the capital outlay is too great and the results seem mixed. Plus the lower heat supplied would still need topping up by immersion heaters to provide the hot water we need. Solar Thermal - as we are using a thermal store I understand that the system wouldn't qualify for RHI which makes the savings seem less viable. Oil boiler - we have space for an oil tank on the plot but I would be put off by the visual impact and would think a future buyer might too. How much would a system for installing a tank and boiler cost? We are planning an extension so trying to find somewhere to put the boiler which then wouldn't get moved after/during the extension is also a challenge. Solar PV and Diverter to Immersion Heaters in the thermal store - can still claim the feed-in-tarrifs for solar and get paid for 50% export where may not be exporting any if all going to heating water. Also means the power gets used to heat the water even if we are out during the day. With the wood burner taking care of winter, this seems quite nice for picking up the spring, summer and early autumn months. Would have to rely on immersion for cloudy days though. All of the above will require wet central heating putting in at more cost, but think that would be the only way to make most use out of the wood stove, otherwise we'd just end up with lots of hot water in the winter and a big bill for immersion heating for hot water in the summer (we both like long showers). Which technology would be best to invest in? Or are we best just updating to new modern electric heaters and getting a better storage tank and insulation for the hot water. Need to find the happy medium between initial outlay and ongoing running costs. Any advice gratefully received.
