    Wet bricks in attic

    Thank you Woody. So does that mean the internal bricks are likely to have been getting wet since the extension was built 40 yrs ago, so there is little point worrying about it now? Thanks again.

    Wet bricks in attic

    Hi, I'm hoping for some advice from you wise people. My 1930's house was extended about 40 years ago. The chimney has bare bricks for the top few feet, with render lower down (see first photo). The extended roof level cuts across the bare bricks, so that inside the attic space, I can see the...

    Rubber roof drip edge retrofit

    Hi, I'm hoping for some advice. I posted on here last year that I'd employed some roofers who didn't seem to know what a spirit level is. I can't afford to pay another professional so I've been slowly going around and putting things right. One thing they did was fit a small rubber roof above...

    My neighbors gas flue plumes directly into our garden.

    Guttering workmanship

    I wonder if anyone might be kind enough to advise me. I’ve just paid to have new fascias, gutters and downpipes installed. I chose a local roofer based on positive online reviews.

    Ring or Radial Cable Question

    Hi, I wonder if anyone can give me some advice. This is a long post for what ends in a short question, but I thought that by giving the whole picture that I might get some other pointers or explanation. Sorry for the length of post. I’m replacing our kitchen units and want to add more plug...
