Seems there's a shortage of loft insulation.

Can anyone help please ?

Is this Knauf "earthwool"? Getting confused as thought Knauf earthwool was rockwool, so would be better than the yellow glasswool if there was any damp in loft. Now I see it says it's mineral and glass wool. It's about £23 a roll (200 mm and covers c 6m2) but if I buy enough to put 300mm (if the...

We downloaded it onto our son's iphone and set it up no problem and we checked one of the other YALE apps on husbands tablet and had no problems. It's not a huge issue anyway as now set up and it sends txt to our phones if the alarm is activated. We just use the keypad to arm and disarm it...

Just about to have a Yale HSA alarm fitted and trying to download the app. We have windows phones so not compatible but husband has a Lenovo Yoga tablet with Android 5.1. When we try to download the app we get a message saying system isn't compatible? Any ideas please?

would this do the trick if we wanted to keep the fixed head?

At my parents home they have a rectangular shower tray with a fixed glass screen. The shower is thermostatic with a lever control and a fixed deluge head. Think it might be this Mira one. They're finding it a bit of a pain to use as both have mobility problems and it's a bit difficult for...

Thanks Ian H. Just checking as we've raised some queries re the BP parking area on a property we're buying about which the sellers apparently knew diddly squat. Eventually (after 3 weeks of solicitors playing tennis!) they got in touch with the contractor who sent a 2 sentence email saying...

My understanding of an Aco drain in block paving is that it's visible on the surface of the BP. Is that correct? TIA

don't know- you tell me?:rolleyes:

Yes a cash jobbie I think. Seller is a policeman. Contractor website says he provides a 10 yr warranty against sinking, but no mention of that either. If this was a house for us I would just walk away, but because it's for parents in their 80's and bungalows in decent areas are like hens teeth...

No sensible answers from the seller yet. Stated that the driveway was permeable and provison had been made for water to flow into the house drains. The contractor (via the seller) has said To whom it may concern. I fitted a blocked paved driveway at ADDRESS OF PROPERTY back in March 2017...

We found out this week that it was done last year. Seller is obviously getting his proverbials in a bunch. He replied to last solicitors enquiries by email and his solicitor just forwarded the email to our solicitor. Additionally, he says "the block paving is permeable and it's sloped so that...

Yes to all!
