Curious it is indeed. But yes, you have a point there regarding potential weakening of the joinery. IL remove a panel and take pics. Other option would be to remove the glass, and board over each section so it's flush with the 'transoms' , then paper over. Or not paper over and attempt to make...

Hello, recently moved into 70's semi. Next to the door to the main bedroom is a section of glass panels, floor to ceiling, which form part of the bedroom perimeter wall. Previous owners cover over with wallpaper. I want to fill it in, so once all decorated it will look like a normal wall. See...

Thanks.Any idea how much that would cost?

Hello, not long moved house. I took down the shed the other day and noticed there was power going to it. In the fuse box there was a switch labelled 'garage', and this was feeding the power to the shed. I turned it off, to make it safe as its not needed now. But later, i noted no hot water in...

Doesn't really answer my question,im aware of the state of it, hence my queries, but thanks

Not that I'm doubting your advice re not rendering below the dpc, but I've wandered around my estate and tons of homes have been rendered to ground. Why? I've checked with my neighbour who also have render to the ground, they have never had damp issues and have been there for near 40 years...

Hello. There is no damp on the inside walls or floor, not that I've noticed anyway. Yes, interior floors are all on the same level. I'm already looking into starting the removal of cracking render and re pointing. Any idea how much it would cost to get someone in? 5.75 sq meters

is it possible that the dpc is below the render in the pics ? Apologies for my ignorance

thanks guys, clearer now on what to do. Any idea how much it would cost to get the work done ? approx. area is 5.75 square m.

Not to ground level ? really, my whole estate has this, probably around 1000 homes. Surely its better that the render gets the damp opposed to the brick work ?

Hi, looking for your input. I've not long moved into a new house, 1970's semi. Part of the main bedroom wall,next to the door, is floor to ceiling panels of frosted glass - totally bizarre. 4 panels, each approximately 1.5 ft x 2ft. The previous owners wall papered over it, maybe as a temporary...

Hello, I started to re-grout some tiles when I noticed some were loose. I removed 4 tiles directly above shower tray of which behind 2 the plasterboard is damp and comes away very easily. Other tiles around this area are solid (at least they appear to be, no movement etc). The room below the...
