I have to buy a new water heater. I've got gas now. It will heat a family-owned two flat.

We've inherited some ugly laminate wardrobes, my mum said I could paint them but that I'd need a primer or some sort of base coat that will allow paint to dry on the laminate, does anyone know what I need to get?

A employed a builder to carry out some work on my house ready to sell. He quoted me £1000 labour + additional for materials when required saying the job would take 2 weeks. After 3 weeks he had done a third of the work and I paid him half labour and all materials to date. He then vanished for 3-4 days and reappeared saying he had been away (failed to tell me).....then 6 weeks later he finally finished. I went to look at the work (I dont live in the house) which was shocking, he fitted 4 new doors and none fit correctly, he boxed in CH pipes in living room which look awful, he decorated 2 rooms which he only did the walls and nothng else (not ceiling, woodwork) and the garden which looks no diff. I explaned that I wasnt happy and he is now not accepting it. It will cost me £500-£1000 to rectify his errors but he refuses to sort it and he is now demanding the rest of his money without finishing the job. We had no written agreement for the work. What do I do? he still has door key
