Great, thanks

Great, thanks so much. At least I know what the likely solution is now. :)

Great, so all those things can be fitted after the fact? I thought they would need to be fitted before rendering. (again, Im a not a builder, so dont know about these things ;P )

Hi, Ive had a new porch built. Im just compiling a snagging list for the builder. I noticed theres a 2 inch gap into the roof void between the external wall and the fascia board. I would have expected some insect mesh to be there, or to be no gap at all. (Im speaking as a non-builder! I...

Hmm, I took a couple of video which shows it better, and I found some that has flaked off...

Hmm, you may be right! If so thats potentially saved me a lot of money thanks! Can I ask: what would make the paint adhere to the chimeny better? Do people use PVA glue or something (I heard this was a thing). Or what would the best brand/type of textured paint be? I just dont want to have the...

Hi all, Over the past 2 years the tyrolean rener has been flaking off the chimney. Im having to be very budget-focused (due to other building works Im having done). Other than it being an eye-sore, how urgent is it to rectify? Is it best to get it done this year, or perghaps can wait for a...

I managed to get the cartridge out. Do these images help clarify what I need? Thanks

Could you link to the kit @avonmouth ?

Thanks so much guys. Appreciate it! :)

Hi guys, Just getting around to this again. Im confused (doesnt take much). Do I need: https://www.divapor.com/spares/kitchens/tap-cartridges/cda-tt41ni-traditional-monobloc-hot-cartridge-compatible-spare-xvtt41hc.php or...

Thanks guys, much appreciated. :)

While Im here, can I ask your opinions on obscured glass for the WC window? To me, obscured glass has the old, 1980's granny bungalow feel to it. Im thinking, instead I will use some nice wooden venetian blinds. Or, after a while if I feel I really need to obscure the glass, get some of that...

OK, decision made: Ive decided to just have one door opening inwards. Its the safer option, and solves a few other potential issues (encroaching on the garden steps, overkill for such a small space etc). Id rather have a single door and regret not having french doors than have french doors and...

I had considered patio doors. Just seems 'odd' having a patio door as a main entrance. Perhaps thats just me. This started off as being a porch. But I dont haev a downstairs toilet (4 bedroom house). There nowhere downstairs for me to put a toilet, so having it in the porch seems logical. So -...

Hmm, yeah, youre making me rethink this. Ive been so fixated on having french doors that I hadnt realised the ramifications. Perhaps a single door (fully glazed) and two wider windows either side. Perhaps I need to look on google images again and get some ideas.

Indeed. I dont know if Im just making life difficult for myself. Having said that, in the summer, it will be lovely to have both door open. But, its hardly a big space inside. Ugh, I dont know what to do!

Heres another angle where Ive photoshopped a visual:

It will be a main door that I open often. I know what you mean about double doors are often too narrow. I used to live in a house where you had to open both door to get in! With these new doors, each door leaf will be 70cm wide - which should be comfortably wide enough? Yes, it is more of a...

Thanks so much @blup. Can I ask your reasoning for french doors out? Is it becuase its convention for french doors to open out? Can yuo clarify what you mean "wc in, unless space is at a premium"? (Apologies for the questions, Im sure youre right, I just need to know 'why' youre right ;p )
