We've just lifted a carpet to find an old hearth underneath. It's cracked and upon lifting out a few of the broken pieces it's clear that it needs patching up. We just want it solid so that no one falls through the hole! Doesn't have to look particularly pretty, we're going to cover it with tiles.


Any recommendations for someone who could sort it all out please? Thanks.

Commenting on my own very old post as we?re finally revisiting this job! Looking for someone to remove cracked old hearth, lay a new solid base and tile the area so it?s flush with the floorboards. Also two more hearths that have good bases but need new tiles. Ideally all in the next two or three weeks. Any recommendations very welcome please! They?re small areas but I want them done perfectly so looking for someone with experience in this sort of work.

      When does a family run business become a chain?

      By Rockets · Posted

      Interesting question as I always think of Franco Manca as a local restaurant after eating in the original in Brixton Market decades ago but you then see they have places all over the UK so are very much a chain - although I hasten to add I was eating in the original as a teenager when it was just Franco's!!!

      Damp cellar floor is it a problem

      By alice · Posted

      When I had a property with a basement there would often be a pool of water in the centre. I was told it was related to the fluctuating height of the water table in the area (se22) and would not become a problem and the only way to get rid of it would be to get the whole place completely tanked.

      Damp cellar floor is it a problem

      By Bumpkin · Posted

      We've got a Victorian coal hole cellar with a mud floor and after a couple of severe water leaks, I've taken more of an interest in the state of the dampness.  I've been running a dehumidifier for the past couple of weeks following a small water pipe leak and whilst most of the floor is now bone dry, there are damp patches along most of the wall adjoining the next house, a large damp patch in the middle of the floor that will not dry even with the dehumidifier right next to it and a patch of wet mud in a small hollow in the middle of the cellar.  An expert that lent us industrial drying equipment following a flood from a burst mains pipe said there will always be damp, but I'm a bit concerned in case there is a fundamental problem - any ideas from anyone with similar?
