Hi all,

I have approx 32 sq meters of slate tiles to be removed from a concrete slab. My question is what catagory of tradesman do I look for that does this???? and while im here can anyone supply...

Hi Dazzler,

Don’t be so hasty is what you mean. I know exactly what you are saying and I was hasty in asking for some money. It might have been a bad thing for me if he agreed because those...

I agree.

Cheers.

Hi John,

Thanks for your reply. I actually have a gent coming out to have a look today to quote me on a correct repair job. He will also tell me if the concrete needs cutting etc.

Dazzler,

I'm trying to work out where the aggressive part is. One does not have to be a brain surgeon to work out what he wants to do is simply not what I have paid for. Is it to much for a...

Thanks for the info.......I was afraid that it was not normal, I was kinda hoping it was normal so my problems wouldnt get deeper. I guess when your down your really down.

Hi,

I have contacted several spray-on paving companies (like drive seal) for quotes for just a plain charcoal colour with no pattern (basically to get it to what it should have been) and the price...

Hi all,

Thanks Bleedin Thumb for the numbers, as yet I have not contacted Dallas but i'll keep you posted when I do. Jacksin i'm not actually denying him to fix it..... I would love nothing more...

Hi all,

thanks to everyone for your input :) much appreciated. Cheers.

Thanks all for your replies :) it has helped a lot. At this stage due to the size of the job (thought I could just rip it out) I have decided to leave it in as I have so much to renovate not to...

What if I just replaced the hole that the outside roof section of the flue leaves with one of those roof vents from bunnings or something similar instead of actually trying to seal the hole or change...

Yes I have heard they are heavy... maybe a job for a few blokes and a hand trolley. Im starting to think maybe i should just leave it in. I really want it gone though as my house is not that big and...

I also have a Vulcan gas wall heater wich is what i use for heating. The wood heater I want removed is one of them free standing ones (i think its called kinara) its not through an old chimney the...

Hi all, I was just wondering if anyone would know who can completely remove a wood heater (with pipe on roof) and fix the roof after(colorbond roof). Im not sure who does this kind of job so dont...

Its the fake stuff. My friend said he shopped around heaps and that was the best price he found but I wanted to be sure so I thought I would post to see what the experts say. with the underlay I was...

Hi All,

Just wondering what the going price is for laminated timber flooring per square meter? Im in Melbourne in case it matters. A work friend gave me contact details of a shop that sells it for...

Thank god for that! Its a releif to know that it will be ok as getting the darn slate off is a big enough of a job itself without then having to grind the floor as smooth as ice.

The one thing I...

Hi all,
