The tenants of the flat have recently left and the walls of this sqm flat needs to be repainted. The previous paint job wasn't done so well as the painters had painted over things that weren't meant to be painted on. A stain had been left on the ceiling from a burst geyser some time back but in one of the bathrooms in particular, mould had appeared on the ceiling. The walls and ceiling of the bathroom particularly would need to be stripped and repainted.

I have a section of the roof that is flat. There is a hollow depression in the roof where water collects when it rains and it eventually seeps through or floods in through an adjacent skylight. the depression must be removed and resealed. There is water ingress through a chimney that was retro fitted, which needs to be repaired.
I m in the process of building a house. Interior Designer expertise will be highly appreciated. I wish I had met with them before we can finalise the house plan, coz I believe the inputs were gonna be very valuable. I hope i can get someone at reasonable costs to be able to assist. The construction had just started, but hopefully they will be finalising soon. I need your inputs to brainstorm some furnishings ideas asap in terms of fashion trends, then also interior designer services. Your feedback to my request will be highly appreciated. Regards,

Need a quote for 1) take off and remove old sheeting labour cost, 2) labour cost for putting up the new sheets, 3) quote should include cost of material as well (galvanized sheets, screws, washers etc.)
IRB waterproofing quote needed. Greetings to whom it may concern, I have a house with part of the roof being flat. The problem initially was the gutter connectors are to small for a large amount of water. Subsequently outlet avenues were made available as to alleviate the water buildup. I have had work done on the roof and recently had an assessor from outsurence asses the roof His recommendation is that a thorough waterproofing needs to be done as the waterproofing done last year is flaking and allowing some water to seep through. This needs to be sorted out and would request an assessment and quote in this regards.
