On the radiators in my own home I wrapped the pipes in felt lagging before plastering them back in, I used faux chrome pipe covers on the stubs of the pipework on show. The chromed pipe does look better but all my dealings with it have been repairing leaks so am instantly wary of it, as you...

Brutal comment, but the pipework going to the radiator isn't brilliant. Compression fittings under the floor are an instant no for me, chromed pipe is quite prone to leaks at fittings as the chrome layer starts to fail, PTFE on the threads (no need) The job would have been much nicer if you...

Fit an extractor with a Humidistat so it can't be turned off? If you replace the silicone, something like Everbuild Forever White is pretty good, chances are whoever fitted the bathroom just used whatever was cheapest from their suppliers.

The Mk5 Golf rear bumper is in two sections. Get the upper resprayed or smart repaired - £150 tops. The lower section just clips an and is probably somewhere between £50-80 at the dealers or half that used.

Most Washer/Dryers don't have any lint trap. I usually take it apart to clean the pipework on my LG one, once a year, it's a fairly easy procedure.

Quite easy to do, I would buy the plastic tool to remove the beading. I've had to remove a window pane twice this year (locked myself out!) with a wide regular chisel which has marked the plastic, that said, you wont ever see the marks due to the location of the window. Mine are externally...

I'm having a bit of an issue where I'm getting knocked back for jobs by recruiters due to my current job title vs. the positions I'm applying for. Currently my contract states IT Manager, the job is split between management of all the business IT needs and Data/Analysis work which is the core...

Sounds like you need a grab wagon to me, will work out cheaper than a skip generally and a lot less labour if the earth is all in one location.

To be honest the roof repair is really shoddy, you can immediately tell by the pointing/mess on the ridge tiles that they are not professional roofers.

On mine it was a blockwork inner skin, the outer skin was a timber frame, with Rockwool insulation and plastic cladding. I replaced the insulation with Celotex and added a vapour control layer.

A Fly Drive in Western Canada (British Columbia/Alberta) I've done this a few times with kids (and will be again this year) - if you just want a holiday on a beach it's probably not for you. That said it has the wildlife, rainforests and the outdoor activities you are into plus more...

So long as your deal allows porting I can't see it being a problem. We did it last year, ported our existing fixed rate deal to another property and took out a separate mortgage to run alongside for the additional money required.

The Drimaster worked well in our house, it pretty much solved the problem overnight. Ours is the unheated version and to be honest is barely noticeable on the lower speed setting. I did make a bit of a mistake over the summer by lighting a Chiminea too close to the house, some smoke must have...

Price doesn't look too bad to me, I had mine done last year. We paid £1150 for the council to drop the kerb, 7 kerbs plus tarmac for 1.5m wide footpath. That was in the North East it probably varies council to council. The driveway was 45 sq m @ £65 per sq m (Marshall Drivesett Tegula) Seems...

That can't be true?!

I've used Experian profiled data for mail Marketing Campaigns over the last decade. I don't personally rate it, the response rates are generally poor (<0.5% response rate) No idea on the email data, I would imagine the quality or accuracy won't be great if the address data is anything to go...

Other than denting a few management egos, nothing will happen. Done the same thing twice, in fact the last time I didn't even tell them I had left (they had messed me around over a pay rise) it's quite liberating.

Will probably cost less than your excess to just repair it. If the frame isn't damaged/bent you can actually just unbolt the door skins from the Golf Mk5 Door and replace, Probably an hours work tops for a complete amateur.

I assume that Jacket is from Chairman Mao's 1945 collection?

You need to contact your DNO. I would expect a price of £1000-1500 based on previous experience!
