@avonmouth £20 from B&Q. Am I looking at the wrong stuff?

Watch YouTube as you will find demos of mixing lime mortar

Spray metal with foam as stops the condensation and quieter when it rains is one solution

No dpm under fireplace because of heat. A fire will melt it. I've only ever seen them concreted or soild stone dropped in

Sounds fine to me

You will be surprised how much you will use. Probably better to make your own up I think. £20 ish for lime and buy sand as required. Bin the remaining lime when done.

Open window and put a summer fan on to move the air. That will speed up drying. Next is a dehumidifier. If you live in a house with high moisture then you should really have a dehumidifier going every day this time of year to keep on top of things. Also start looking at why you have high...

Yeah. Zinsser BIN or Smith and Rodger blockade. To prepare Wash down best you can with a sponge mop and by hand. Let it dry and use the shellac. Medium pile roller and mini roller and brush. You will need to sheet up as well with masking. Drop plastic ect. Any splashs will be welded on and...

Cavity walls? Just buy a ready mixed lime mortar or make your own up

You can buy a small bottle of tilers sealer from DIY store. It's SBR for tiles. Use that. Will say on bottle what you need to do or look online and read the data sheet

Toupret masonry repair to make good and paint

I use BIN aqua as sticks better and faster cure vs bullseye 123. It's probably the best waterbased adhesion primer... Zinsser BIN is also good if you don't mind the solvent smell. Foam roller is good for application, but you need to be quick as is rapid drying. It's poor opacity and off white so...

Knock through floor. There probably is a cavity along floor which is why it's cracked. Fill it in. Wall I've just filled with loose insulation then cut some kingspan and pushed in stuck with foam. Plasterboard over stuck with foam or polymer mastic like Ob1 or Stixall.

I was told just swap for led light as £15 to £20. The conversations kits cost more and a fath to alter.

You can do damage with solvents and strong chemicals. White vinegar and soda might help but soap stains can be a problem if allowed to sit. No way I know to get rid of it.

Cracked heat exchanger will cause a drop in pressure and you won't see anything. Just monitor and if pressure drops you could have a problem

That's oil based paint for you. Will yellow especially if there is not much natural light

If the wall is dry then no. It don't need to be breathable paint.. New builds have damp brick and plaster so need 6 months to dry. If it's just a skim over then a week can be enough this time of year

Sorry. Not read all your post. In a rush... Looks like cavity is in floor. I knock through and line with plastic and fill with concrete. Fill the sides with loose insulation then a solid sheet cut. Make sure bricks have ties bridging.
