One-off house cleans
I contacted a local company earlier this week to enquire about the cost of having a one-off clean (walls, woodwork, windows etc) when I move out of my flat so it's ready for the landlord to bring a new tenant in. Bearing in mind it's only a moderate sized 2-bed flat, with a tiny kitchen - totally unfurnished apart from…
Removing Stone Cladding
I haven't yet got a quote for this, haven't even bought the house. But we are looking at a terraced three bed house, unfortunately with stone cladding on the front. I know it's expensive to remove, but how expensive?
Boiler servicing costs
I've been quoted £89.50 to have my boiler serviced by the same guys who installed it last year - it's a combi boiler, Potterton make. Does this sound reasonable?
Hall,Stairs & Landing
Hi, I am losing sleep trying to sort out my hall, stairs and landing. I contacted 3 contractors and only 1 turned up and said we would have to get other tradesmen in for some jobs as he didn't do these and quote £11,500.00. We were thinking around £5,000.00. Now, I am the contractor and finding it a nightmare trying to get…
Fair price for oil tank ?
We have had a quote form a local company but do not know if it is fair. We currently have a 1800 litre oil tank that they will drain & remove (this may require curtting in half due to our garden). A new Titan 1300 litre tank will be put in a different position with a new supporting base. Because the tank will be in a…
Vaillant combi boiler repair

My uncle (who is a plumber) advised that it needed a new diaphram. This was over 4 years ago he advised this and i have become fed…
Storage heater repair
The storage heater in our lounge has just done a sudden death on us. What's the worst case scenario repair cost?
Furniture Storage
Apologies for the cross posting (here and in the Scotland thread). I currently live just outside Glasgow but am going travelling for a year or so in a few months. I need to arrange some storage for the furniture in my 2 bed flat but am not sure what price i should expect to pay or where is good. I am imaginging Glasgow…
Tiling kitchen floor
We had our kitchen fitted in May and the fitter did the wall tiling himself and only charged £100 for tiling. He was'nt able to do floor tiling and since then we can't seem to find anyone and the lino has remained! I've just been ringing the tilers listed in the Yellow pages and either no one turns up or their quote doesnt…
