This is as good as I can get in one picture my back is against my neighbours wall haha

I’ll just reply here with more pictures as lots to reply to :) again really appreciate all you guys! Very helpful indeed. It’s raining currently and I can’t see any dripping from anywhere

We have repointing booked in for a few weeks time so hopefully will make some difference. The damp is coming up from the floor of the fireplace not the walls as that’s what we originally thought. Probably should have mentioned that we’ve had damp on every wall of the ground floor including...

Can you explain what you mean by cavity not being bridged? How would this be rectified? Thanks:)

I assumed that the new dpc would still work as it’s higher off the ground? How does bridging work in this way? Sorry I’m not good with this stuff learning as I go! :)

Thanks guys. The old slate dpc supposedly has failed that’s why another one has been done recently. I’m not sure when the drive was done like I said only had the house under a year and previous owner had passed away so obviously couldn’t ask these sorts of questions. So ideally we need to get...

Hi looking for some advice. Currently an exposed gas mains box in the porch of our Reno. (No box covering it). Its been fine up until now as there’s a second door to block it from the outside l. Ideally we would like it moved to outside as we are getting a new front door so it will be exposed to...

Just an update thanks for your advice. Filled out a form on open reach’s website and received a call, they sent someone out who removed both wires :)

Just family members and a couple trades people we’ve had round :)

Everyone I’ve spoken to said open reach won’t touch it :(

Hi! I was wondering if anyone has any ideas/ solutions. I know it’s not a DIY question per say but not sure where else to ask! Our house has an old warehouse behind it and their overhead telephone wires are attached to the side of our house. Realistically it’s not a huge deal but it looks...
