The customer wanted to cover over the boiler and the pipe work. So I suggested boxing in the unit with a standing cabinet that can be used for storage. It’s important the boiler can be accessed for serving, allowing for easy access.
Boxed in boiler using a kitchen unit fixed to the wall.With selves added the cabinet is also able for storage.
There, much neater and smarter, with plenty of space to access the boiler for serving.
It is always best to paint a room that is clear of furniture and furnishings but that’s not alway the case, in fact it is mostly the case, after all we live in our homes! It took me nearly 2 hours to get this sitting and dinner clear and under dust sheets with the sofas, tables and TV having to be moved and covered.
Covered furniture, I’ve made a start on the walls and have painted the ceiling.
Once I have finished all the painting, I applied two coats to the walls, I have to put everything back, TV on wall curtains etc.
Finished with furnishings back as they where.
There, job done. The customer can come home from work and everything is back to how it should be, just put the kettle on then..
Mostly I am working in lived in homes, it’s great when you have and empty house to decorate but that’s not very often the situation. So, it’s important to have the room cleared as much as possible and get those dust sheets down covering all surfaces including the bed!
Clean and good quality dust sheets are alway used.
I move the heavy furniture to the centre of the room so I can work round and be able to reach the middle of the ceiling with an extended poll.
By the looks of things this leaking has been going on for sometime as the water has now soaked the plasterboard and the skirting, which in made of MDF.
So, time to get to work. I have removed the damaged plaster and skirting and pulled back the flooring to allow to dry. I have also removed the shower screen as this is where the water is getting through. The shower screen needs a new seal and lowering a bit as the gap between the screen on the bath is too big.
Carpets, underlay and grippers are removed from the property in Ingleby Barwick and removed from site using a reliable local family run company, ClearAway.
The waste material is stacked neatly outside ready for collection and disposed of responsibly.
The few bricks have been damaged here and the customer wants them replaced with new. So of the MKM to get new bricks to match in with the existing. Might be a little tricky as there are thousands of different colours and sizes.

There job finished, and tidied up, not a bad match..
The customer wants to have the garden shed renovated within the budget. This will include new felt on the roof with replaced roof sidings, painted and any rotten timbers replaced.
This is the shed before work has started.With the work finished all in a day by Ashtons Handyman Services

There job done, and the rain water is running off into the gutter which has a gentle gradient towards the down pipe.
The assembly of one gym muscle building equipment.
The boxes are opened and the parts are displayed. The instructions are always hard to read and one needs to think ahead as how the unit it going to work with regards to how the various parts are to be fitted together.
Three hours later, the unit is assembled. If I was to assemble another same unit, I recon I could do it half the time.
The shower pole attachment is broken and the bath need resealing around the edge.
So off the B&Q to source a new fitting. This can take a bit of time and persistance to find the right item & at a reasonable cost. There where items costed at over £50 and not always the best solution.
The seal around the bath also needs attention, as you can see the seal is messy and probably not affective. So now I have the old shower fitting removed from the wall I will remove the old silicon and clean up the area, this is quite a time consuming job as all the old silicon should be removed.
There that looks better now the new silicon is added. Now to fit the new shower pole.
