    Nicked a gas pipe

    I'm not sure! His exact words were don't worry you've just polished it! I asked him 3 times if he's sure I shouldn't replace it and he said it will never leak. I may well get it replaced anyway he seemed a bit too chilled out to be honest. But then again he is the professional so I'm not sure

    Retaining wall hell

    Can anybody offer any advice on what I should do with this. I'm getting a rather sinking feeling it is going to be a massive costly job to make safe. Has anybody any experience in replacing similar timber frames holding the whole thing together. Is the white stuff on the face of the bricks...

    Retaining wall hell

    I've bought a house with a good size unconventional garden. It's got 6/7 different levels with some very precarious sheer drops that I'm trying to make safe for my toddler. We back on to a privately owned disused church path and I just want to know who I should be getting in to ask about the...
