Surely you mean they should have discussed it with me, as their terms and conditions say?

It clearly says on this page... https://www.virginmedia.com/help/install-virgin-media We’ll then need to take the cable through any outside space (your garden or driveway). We’ll do our best to put everything back to normal again afterwards. Where it’s not possible to do this work without...

So I came home to see a rather messy job done by Virgin Media today. Granted, my driveway is old and in need of replacement, but it doesn't look that great to me. Please see attached photo, thoughts appreciated

Online research will usually be mixed, IME most tradespeople don't seem to care about asbestos. 'Don't bother testing,' is quite frankly ignorant advice. https://www.hse.gov.uk/asbestos/diagrams.htm Only an asbestos company can comment on asbestos. Getting someone to come round, take a...

What harm would removing the moss potentially do? Genuine question. Doesn't moss start to add additional weight to a roof, and clog up gutters? One of my neighbors has never removed the moss, the roof is starting to sag slightly. A lot more moss than pictured though. Another neighbor also...

Prevention is always better than cure, the problem with roofs is that the cost of prevention can be expensive and you'd be better off using the cash to completely replace the roof. The chimney is permanent, and there would be no harm in having it re-pointed. I'm no expert but just above the...

That's a valid point. Definitely wouldn't want the condensation. So perhaps the existing ductwork, would have to be accessed under the floorboards to have some sort of barrier installed. Not necessarily going to be much cheaper. We're currently having 3 weeks of the year where AC would...

This is more of an idea at this point. I had a warm air system in this house when I bought it, complete with air ducts. I've since replaced the system with a boiler/rads, and kept the air ducts for a little bit of ventilation. Would be it be possible to simply fit an AC unit onto these...

Plumber will come by in week, in the meantime any ideas as to what the cause could be?

Following on from previous 'water hammer,' thread... I've had the plumber fit an arrestor, and we agreed to lower the flow to the upstairs toilet and see if that plus the arrestor would resolve the issue, without paying for the installation of a new flush system. (Got boiler service at same...

I've been trying to get a simple freeze door seal, for the above fridge freezer. Only find one stockist, who's quoted a whopping £120 for the seal and adhesive. They are claiming that the both are from Liebherr, and the adhesive bond alone costs £50. This sounds like an absolute rip off. This...

Its this this type of flush system/toilet... Would the Fluidmaster be suitable?

Actually first noticed it after the installation of a new boiler, and mixing tap. Not to complicate the issue, but the new mixing tap (kitchen) was producing a slight hammer noise also when switching off. At the time, the downstairs toilet was making a racket while filling, so first plumber...

Pretty much what both plumbers said.

Yes, the quote does specify that. Doesn't look that great really... Don't think those are Redland 49's, but a real mismatch up close. Look good on a detached though...

New(ish) roofs areabout 50% on the street. Knowing what I know now, I'd definitely consider the roof when purchasing. If it were near a century old, I'd factor in the cost of a new roof. In fact, a neighbour recently had to do just that when selling. My thoughts on kerb appeal... It would...

Neighbours loft conversion is a few years old, I did consider that. Doubtful they'll be replacing anytime soon. Fair point though.

Interesting... The downstairs toilet is a ballcock, no water hammer. So you may have hit the nail on the head there.

That's a good point, and I'm surprised neither of the plumbers considered it. I think its the latter, will check when I get home. If it is the Flomasta type, what would be the solution?

By water hammer, I mean a slight thumping sound when the upstairs toilet finishes filling. Have had two plumbers look at it, they both said it wasn't an issue, though the second then gave me a quote to fit an arrester, saying that it may or may not solve the noise. I'm keen to avoid further...
