Filling in a car port
Can anyone give me a very rough estimate of how much it would cost to fill in a car port and make it a habitable room?

As the house is already being held up by the…

What's involved in testing/signing off electrical work?
We've had a bit of a dispute with an electrician who's wired some lights and sockets in a new extension and fitted a new consumer unit. He says there's still a "good day" of work to do labelling the consumer unit and testing and signing off the electrics. I am tempted to get another electrician in to do it but having done…

Radiator Replacement - Cost in Time
Hi, We are looking to get 4 single radiators replaced with doubles and TVR's, keeping the same sizes in all cases, 3 * 600mm by 1600mm and 1 * 600mm by 500mm. The first quote has said he would need to drain the system then replace them and this would likely take 1.5 - 2 days to do this. Does this sound right? My OH thought…
