Is that 2m before original patio removed, or after new cement laid for deck, or from height of new deck? Sorry, probably very obvious to most of you guys on here :) Looks like it will be 7ft from my side Thanx

I've done a bit of a search but need help with understanding what is the maximum fence height between back gardens next to house? Houses are joined. My council planning department is closed already! Current neighbours fence is 6ft including concrete base! So fence is 5ft and base is 1ft I can't...

Update; They agreed the alarm can go! But they are getting another alarm system that already covers the garage which could be extended to the house.

Hi Well spoke to my mother yesterday and the list wasn't in the rest of the documents she signed and sent back 2 & half weeks ago to solicitor. I know that because I looked through them. He only sent the tick list on Monday. Maybe she forgot to mention it at that point when I told her to. I...

So would you say as long as a list is created and they agree with alarm being removed then all should be ok? I've read slightly differing things on the rules, but I understand about things fixed to the house etc. But as CCTV systems are also fixed but can be removed from a the house I don't...

I installed a wireless alarm system for my mother about 5 months before she put the house up for sale. I would like to install it in her new place. The property is now sold but she forgot to mention the alarm was not staying. Does a wireless system come under fixtures or fittings/chattels...

Thanx all for your comments. I'm not a big fan of estate agents. maybe 20 years ago they had to do a lot more work for the very large amount of cash they grab, but now days estate agents don't find property for you, you find it your self, an automatic search sends you an email right down to a...

Many thanx motorbiking I've seen a few court cases that have made contracts null and void as the judge made very clear any contract that is unreasonable or hasn't lived up to what it states can not be enforced. Of course that maybe difficult to prove once you comb through the small print. Well...

Thanx vinn Good story as shows what kind of rubbish can setup a business and call themselves estate agents. I'm sure there are some good ones out there somewhere but I bet they're few and far between. The agent with my mothers place listed still haven't corrected their mistakes almost 2 weeks...

Thanx for the reply stuart45 Yeah I thought that's what I read but good to hear someone else say it so to speak! Plus I couldn't find info on that which I found last week. Just found it again if someone else would like a read. 3rd set of bullet points down the page; And also some useful info...

Would appreciate some advice on how to deal with an estate agent! My mum is selling her property but the agent has made a few errors, more than a few but not listed them all. The listing heading is lacking some detail and also not correct. The main text seems to be in order. I should note that...

Thanx for the reply vinn The joists can be clearly seen from inside the garage all the way up as they're not covered in! As far as I can see all joists are in very good shape. The joists appear to have no bending, dipping or cracks as far as I can tell. Roof angle is probably closer to .6":40...

My mothers garage roof is leaking but has some sheets covering the bad bits so just about keeping the serious heavy rain out for now! Not sure how long that will last! But it needs sorting soon-ish. I need to get detailed measurements but been told the overall size is 50m² and is a flat roof...

I took off the header for the hot water and the valve has the exact same resistance as the heating valve so it's not the valve sticking. I''ll buy a new unit complete and try replacing just the header and see how that goes. Right that makes sense, I read on a site it was 70° so that must have...

Don't have a working multi-meter at the moment but did take the header unit off and I can turn the valve spindle by hand. It moves approx between the 1 and just past the 3 o'clock position. It has a small resistance by hand but firmly stops when turned either way. This doesn't seem 70° as I've...

It’s an old system but never had an issue before. If I turn down the hall thermostat it still runs non stop. Sliding the switches to off on the Honeywell programmer doesn’t make any difference. Over the last 2 weeks I could hear a squeak from one of the valves when the heating turned off...

Well I don't intend to leave a bear trap at other side of my gate, but I hope you're not suggesting I need to put signs up to add spikes to the top of a gate lol I'll be adding large spikes which will be "clearly visible" that will not stop my neighbours cat from coming into my garden, but at...

You didn't read my post all the way to the end. So using your interesting logic then you must think having gates are a waste of timer also! My neighbours actual gate is a lot higher than mine, so anyone thinking of jumping over will most likely take the easy route hence the idea of making it...

Had a search but couldn't find a post on what I want to do! I want to fit some metal spikes to the top of the wooden gate to add security! I want to increase security to my side gate which is wood. It has a brace going across the top and the gate is slightly rounded at the top. The brace is...
