I've never had one for house purchases either. I think ones that came with the house / before building regs it's fine. However, adding a new one/modifying needs one. If you do make insurance claim, and it's due to a non Certified / diy fireplace /burner install, you're not gonna get a...

No, I got a heatas chap to do it. Took a while to find one that would and issue a cert. If you do it yourself, you need building regs sign-off or your house insurance won't cover if there's a unintended fire, death etc. Also you'll have issues selling.

So this may cause "differing opinions". Still, always fun. I also have a 20's house and went through the whole heritage house / lime plaster / breathable paint concerns. Note the heritage house, while talks sense, is aimed at maybe slightly older houses. Firstly - do you have solid walls or...

Hmmm. I'd still suspect / inspect that pipe a bit further, especially the join of metal to plastic, that I'm guessing is buried in the wall. I had a very similar setup (although going underground into soakaway, that was silted up). With heavy rain, the volume of water / pressure was enough to...

Can't see any previous threads with a definitive answer. Has anyone stained floor tiles specifically matt porcelain floor tiles? I don't mean paint, but stain for a durable finish. From sandstone to grey or black. Random Internet diy posts say it's easy. Sand it, prime it and apply stain...

Maybe kettle should hire a handyman?

It that about the size of 1p coin. I'll bet a screw head.

Don't you need 16m2 for a 4x4 shelter?

Why? Got any pics? What the criticism with the finish? Was planning to use this myself

Glazing putty? Could be wrong but think that's the stuff

If there's no sign of damp or condensation or damage (dusty paint flaky paint, ropey skirtingboards, damp smell) then why are you spending time on this? There's a million potential reasons why there's a variable conductivity there. If there's no damage or visible sign (beyond probing with a...

I do have old eyes

Did it break after they laid it? Still looks like mortar between the parts in your pic. Did they just lay it on the 2 halves and bed them in, when they ran out of packers

I feel your pain and have stripped 15 stone window cills with flaky paint, so far. Took everything I could off with a scraper. One of these, razor sharp Then power sander to rough up the remaining paint 60 grit. Then filled the gaps with toupret exterior fine masonry filler. Then sanded...
