    Copper flashing to reduce moss and mold?

    Hi all, I am trying to reduce the reoccurrence of moss and mold on my kitchen extension pitched roof. I have heard an adhesive copper strip can help, but they seem expensive.

    Knocking radiator - any advice?

    No it literally sounds like someone is tapping the rad with a hammer about every 30secs, so it's not like the ticking on pipework (that I unfortunately have in one of our bedrooms but cannot access the pipes!)

    Bar stool marking Amtico flooring - any suggestions?

    Hi all, The bar stools I have are really marking up the Amtico flooring in the kitchen. They are swivel bases (big round base) and I have tried protective pads but due to the limited rim of the base they can stick to they just keep coming off. Any suggestions on something else that can be used...
