Oh Carol.....

Looks like he may be after an easy job as it looks largely sound to me. Odd spots of pointing need doing and the leadwork needs dressing better but overall absolutely no reason to demolish it. You may find it a planning issue anyway dependant on the area as you are not allowed to just remove...

The plasterer should have feathered it in to the walls so it could have been finished better but the chance of a ceiling falling out of the blue are so slim it is not worth worrying about and i don't think you will have any issues.

Trim it carefully with a sharp Stanley knife, I find the retractable ones are quite good as the body of the knife will not be in danger of scraping the wall, just enough to cut the scrim and not the plaster and then you could probably get away with caulking it and painting or may need to use a...

Create the shape of the rebate with a sharp bevel edge chisel and then use an auger or spade bit to drill out the majority of the waste and tidy it up again with a chisel and you won't go far wrong... and safer than a chainsaw if you are not confident with it.

Perfectly normal and that is what spiders do in their natural habitat. They use the decking as a sun spot and to socialise, mate, feed, fight etc....I have them in my garden, exactly the same and they vanish very quickly when you go near them. There are spider repellants on the market but you...

You could do it cheaper by doing it yourself but unless you know how and what to do it could be a problem further down the line when things go wrong. If you can assemble everything you need and then try and rope in a CCTV engineer or alarm specialist that will do some extra work outside of...

Wonder if the driver is big ?

In my experience, and i have done several of my own properties, it is ok to be left open at the top. The provision of airbricks will help deal with moisture from the cavity and leaving it open also helps air to circulate from what will be a lived in heated room. The Wykamol website has PDF's for...

You will have a lot of success with beer traps but it is a messy job cleaning it all up. You could also sprinkle salt on them when you go out to check at night as they cannot survive being assalted (pardon the pun). If you can stick to the pattern for a week or so you will see a noticable...

Ignore getting it to fit the curves with the studwork as straight lines and angled cuts will do and then cut the plasterboard to fit to the curve.

This is not bad pricewise..... https://www.plasticdrainage.co.uk/320mm-level-invert-inspection-chamber/330mm-level-inver-chamber-base-4-way or search for Shallow Access Inspection Chamber but this is probably as shallow as you will get.

My preference would be to screw, from beneath if you can, or if not where a leg will cover the screws, a 3.6m long 6 x 2 timber beneath the decking where the pergola legs will sit and then drill through the decking and the 6 x 2 and use M10 Coach bolts a nice square washers to bolt the legs down...

For the relatively little extra cost just go with the 12mm.

You need a Gas Engineer or a Gas Certified plumber.

This may do the trick and can be trimmed flush when set.... https://www.toolstation.com/soudal-genius-gun-fire-acoustic-expanding-foam/p92610

You could try a test bed with another wipe or a few seperately and submerge them in bleach / descaler / drain unblocker etc and see what the effect is because putting high doses of chemicals into a macerator may have an effect on the gaskets or seals and that would be far worse than the problem...

Any good ...

The most common sizes are 32mm and 40mm but this set will cover you just in case you cannot get an accurate enough measure.... https://www.screwfix.com/p/floplast-strap-boss-black-110mm/82795
