Hi there


As per the title really, need to buy new radiators and skirting boards.


Skirting boards need to be quite wide, the type they have in Travis Perkins is ?11 per metre before any discounts which seems quite high to me. I think they were the solid wood ones. Any ideas would be great.


Radiators, again any good ideas for this would be great. We need four and the ones we were looking at online were about ?250 each which is again quite high.


Would be really grateful for any ideas.


Cheers

Try Whitten Timber, Gibbs & Dandy, and Jewsons for skirtings, all have local branches. Skirtings tend to be 'solid wood', it's actually a softwood. You can get MDF skirtings. Never used them though, no character.

What style of rad are you looking at. ?250 isn't a lot if you're after big old school type rads...

Thanks red devil. Will have a look at all of those suggested.


Re: the radiators, yes think we're hoping for cast iron column radiators. I know what you mean about ?250 not being a lot, meant it more in terms of our empty wallets really, and the fact we have to multiply it by 4.


Of all the things to spend money on when doing up a house, skirting boards and radiators has got to be among the least gratifying!


Thanks a lot for your suggestions, much appreciated.

Since you seem pretty knowledgeable about these things, please can I pick your brains about refurbished period radiators? I've seen some online that look really nice, and cheaper than brand new. But I have no idea whether buying radiators like these is a good idea or not.


Any advice would be brilliant!


Cheers

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Blah Blah · Posted

      Because the previous Libdem/Tory coalition council did so much better? ....Oh wait. Selling off the Heygate at a bargain price and reducing the number of council homes it replaced? Being in opposition is so much easier isn't it James.  The point on allowances etc is a valid one, and that is about finding the right balance between the responsibility of those cabinet roles and the role of service that should underpin all political aspirations in an ideal world. Holding down a full time job, while having to attend meetings and then deal with case work on top, is a huge ask imo. People in key roles need to have the time needed to do those roles effectively, so some renumeration makes sense. It's just a question of where the balance should be. McAsh has walked away from that, so his convictions are doing more talking than careerism arguably.  Worth pointing out that most MPs started out as party/ political activists/ campaigners on a local level. Different parties have different processes for selecting candidates, but everyone starts out at a low level.

On top of cleaning we can do additional tasks such as managing washing, ironing, bed changes and oven cleans.

      Hardly! The awning is half hanging off and it looks like it's about to collapse between the two upstairs windows. Looks awful and it's not clear there is construction "going on" there now.
