    Telephone/broadband wiring - Who's responsible for what?

    BPN Home Services - anyone dealt with them?

    This is not a suitable topic for well meaning but non professionals. A solicitor is worth a consultation. Most will give 30 mins free and afterwards their fee should be covered by what will be saved from the scammers.

    Best way to soundproof a door on the cheap? Expanding Foam?

    Probably a honeycomb/egg box centre so unlikely to work. Sound will get through any gaps around door, so door construction is not the only consideration.

    surveyor sez....

    Is the surveyor correct? What-if anything- is keeping the brickwork internal/external leaves up over the window? Are the window frames original, or have UPVC ones replaced wooden ones?

    Plumbing Protocol

    You need to determine the real cause of the problem. That will then enable you to decide if changing the divertor valve motor was a reasonable action for a competent plumber to take along the path of diagnosis and rectification. Seeing as it did not cure the problem, I don't understand why he...
