    Best way to soundproof a door on the cheap? Expanding Foam?

    Probably a honeycomb/egg box centre so unlikely to work. Sound will get through any gaps around door, so door construction is not the only consideration.

    surveyor sez....

    Is the surveyor correct? What-if anything- is keeping the brickwork internal/external leaves up over the window? Are the window frames original, or have UPVC ones replaced wooden ones?

    Plumbing Protocol

    You need to determine the real cause of the problem. That will then enable you to decide if changing the divertor valve motor was a reasonable action for a competent plumber to take along the path of diagnosis and rectification. Seeing as it did not cure the problem, I don't understand why he...

    Advice on overcharging?

    I don't blame you for feeling upset. This is an example of attempting to stay within the letter of the law whilst actually obtaining money by false pretences. You were induced to enter into an unfair contract by his misrepresentation of the service offerred. It's like applying a false...

    DIY Gas sticky.

    But it will be up to the prosecutor to decide whether it is worth prosecuting and the onus will be on the prosecutor to prove incompetence, not for the DIYer to demonstrate competence.
