Thanks Pinenot, I called a few agencies, they said the small beetle was likely just a common house beetle. They described quite well for me, ie 2-3mm long and had wings. They said they tend to come if there are a lot of birds in the area. Thanks for thinking it is unlikely to be a woodworm...

When inspecting the wooden beam below my patio, I noticed the wood looked rotted at the far end. With my fingers I was able to pull out the rotten bits of wood. It was like saw dust and I saw two or three dead encrusted larvae. I cleaned the space out as best as I could, and was...

I have an issue with my outside front porch. There is a space between the brick and the beading where the rain has been getting in. This small 'half brick' is now shaking like a shaky tooth. What should I fill this gap with? Also, I would like to go over this 'white' beading...

I have a single glazed window housed in a double glazing frame. The glazier installed a very neat fitted piece of rectangular wood to 'fill the space' of the 'thickness' of the double glazed window. I would like to coat this wood with something to make the wood more 'pleasing' to the eye and...

I would like to attach my wheelie bin to my detached house by use a chain that is attached to the building. The chain would prevent the bin getting blown around and blown over during strong winds. I expect the chain to go about two thirds the way up the bin. How would I attach the chain...
