Cracks are visible in the plaster only and do not run through to the external brickwork. The cracks have appeared below the bedroom window, below the landing window and around...

    Finding a SSAIB company

    Ok, point taken. They are not a governing body and i should learn not to post first thing in the morning. They do however work with government bodies. Non the less, their installers will generally work to a high standard providing certified alarm systems that meet insurance criterias, which i...

    Finding a SSAIB company

    Because they are also a governing body who have approved installers that are inspected frequently. For all intents and purposes they offer the same service as SSAIB.

    Clay Drain Question

    Thanks for the replies guys. I'd actually seen the adapter woody posted on Screwfix and thought that might well do the job but wanted confirmation. I believe I also have some downpipe in the garage. Fingers crossed it should be an easy enough job. Thanks for the replies. Russ

    Hi, Just wondering if anyone could advise what I need to buy to replace this damaged section of clay pipe which ensures rainwater from the guttering down spout doesn't splash onto the house itself. As you can see from the close up picture there appears to be a black plastic collar which...

    Hi everyone, The sill on our conservatory door is incredibly rotten. I believe it is due to lack of maintenance by the previous owner. As you can see the door rail/track appears to be integrated into the sill itself. What would be the easiest/best way to renew the sill? I'm pretty...

    How to prevent door jamb rotting?

    In that case it might not be load bearing, well not directly to the floor anyway as it is bolted to the concrete panels of the garage by 4 bolts per side if I remember correctly. So with that in mind I think I'll soak the ends in preserver as mentioned above, chop an inch or so above ground...

    How to prevent door jamb rotting?

    Thanks for the reply. My only concern is that if there is a 1inch gap that this will allow the garage to get soaking wet inside (as it currently does with a 1 inch gap from rot). The jamb is also installed in a structural capacity I believe to transfer the weight of the door on the beam...

    How to prevent door jamb rotting?

    Hi everyone, Just wondering if I could pick some brains. We recently bought a new house with a sectional concrete garage. Due to a combination of no guttering and water pooling at the side of the garage one of the door jambs has got severe rot. I've bought a replacement timber jamb...
