Haha that sounds like fun, not sure my girlfriend will be too impressed though! Any recommendations on which DPM's I should use?

Can I do both for good measure, apply liquid DPM then also use a polythene DPM?

I just ripped up my carpet in my bedroom as I am planning on laying laminate. The back part of my house where the bedrooms are seems to get a bit damp, nothing major really just a faint fusty smell now and again. I put it down to lack of air circulation as none of the windows have vents in them...

Thanks for the advice so far. I was under the impression the plot would command a higher asking price if full planning permission was already granted, is this not always the case then?

I live in Scotland and have a nice house in the country which came with a field, in total including my house and garden it comes to about 2 acres. I have no use for the field so I am giving serious thought to the idea of selling part of it as a building plot. My idea so far is to obtain full...

Perfect, thanks for the reply

thanks for the advice. I did manage to get water back into the system though, I just filled it up through the vent discharge

I have a worcester danesmoor boiler with an open vent gravity primary system. My kitchen radiator fell off the wall yesterday, i never used it so i just disconnected it. One of the valves was leaking all day and all night so i lost quite a bit of water from the system leaving the 3 radiators...

Hi, I bought a country property back in August. I have a large garden and in addition to that there is a Field / paddock next to it. I had the idea of getting planning permission and selling half of the field, or even building a house and selling it. Some people have said that if its...
