Carpet Laying
I'm providing all the carpet, and the man who came today suggested I leave all the grippers and underlay down. He has not got back to me yet as to how much to lay just the carpet (carpets will be ripped up, so it is literally just laying the carpets). The rooms are:- Two large rooms (4m x 4.5m ish) One small room (2m x…

Stair carpet cost
I've been quoted £400 for carpet, underlay, etc plus £45 to fit. It is for 2 flights of stairs, 12 steps on one and just 3 on the other, no landing as the landing is laminated floor. Carpet is £8.99 per square m, underlay £9.99 per square m. Does it sound resonance?

Lean to Conservatory quote
I accepted an offer from Dunraven to build a conservatory in my new house. They appear to have a good reputation with conservatories. The size of the conservatory is 3.7m x 2.5m x 2.1m (height), and was offered £24k and got them down to 20k. I think I got a reasonable deal for the time and amount of bespoke work they are…

Our front garden wall is in a bad state of repair (see attached photos). It doesn't look good, has various cracks and the top 3 courses move when I push them with only gentle pressure - I don't think it would take much to make it topple. There's also an obvious slight lean. It's not a big wall - its approx. 5.5m long with…

We have had a leaflet through the door and elderly neighbours have invited the bloke round for a quote. He cleans the roof of lichen/moss, then paints it to look like a Spanish hacienda. We are wary but I think our neighbours (80 years plus) are keen. Is this a big con?
