Thank you all. It is difficult for me to tell them "heat more" or "open your windows more often". Either are a bit daft (one of them has worked for Seymours and was landlord before, you would expect that they know what living in a old bungalow means) or they play a game but I feel I cannot stay...

Hi, I am owner of an old bungalow which I rent via an agency. The tenants who live in the bungalow since February have just complained about damp in the bedroom. My husband paid them a visit and was horrified to see the wall behind their bed was covered in black spots of mould. To the question...

Thanks very much for your help. Letty

Thanks for all this. This is an electrician that has been suggested by a builder that worked for us. I had a better look at his business card and can see 2 logos Napit and someting Safe (too small, can't read) so i suppose that he is member of these and hoppefully knows what he is doing. For the...

Is the electrician just delaying because it is paperwork and that certificate takes time to prepare? I don't even know what it looks like.

Hello, What does all this mean? The electrician is "certified" to do this kind of check. He said he was. The house concerned is an old bungalow that we bought 2 years and which has been, before we owned it, always rented. The estate agent asked us to get a legal certificate (as well as for...

Hi, I had an electrician doing the safety checks for a rental house. He said that all was in order. He promised to give the certificate laater the same day and then postponned and postponned. When I ask for the document, he says "it has to be appropriately processed online to the affiliated...

We live in Woking.

Hi, Old bungalow, original brick wall, valve on the wall, conventional shower. Thanks

Hi, We would like to install a coat hanger on our entrance wall. But there is a bathroom on the other side and the shower valve is sitting on that wall. Is there a way to trace the water pipes and to be sure of where to drill safely? Thanks. Letty

Thank you all for your knowledge and your help. Hugh Jaleak gave us a link for a previous discussion which contains a picture of something which is exactly what I have in the garden. I read all your comments and I reported it all to my husband who said "I'll block the pipe with cement and take...

I will need to look on Google what this eans exactly. But tell me, what shall we do with that now, re-bury it, block it completly? It must have been blocked for years.

I was looking on Internet for an ordinary kind of thing like that. I tried to Google "drain vent" and found that image. This is the kind of thing I found in my garden except that mine is a simple greyish metallic one (we bought an old bungalow for the '30s". I need a normal flap for it or a grid...

Hi, Can anyone tell me how you call this piece and where I can find a flap for it? Thanks.

Hi, I found buried under the ground in my front garden an old fashion waste vent, next to it lies a manhole to which the vent is connected. I removed the soil that had accumulaated in the vent and its piece of pipe conneted to the manhole. The vent has no more flap, it must have been removed...

Thank you Chris1982.

Hi We bought a very old bungalow. The previous owners have installed in 2004 a new kitchen which looks quite nice, solid doors, granite worktop, ... the problem is that it has been installed without any preparation/cleaning of the old kitchen. This is what we can see when we open the cupboard...

To Iggifer : I am not sure of the brand, it is a BG Garage Kit Metal Enclosure supplied by Nexus Industries and bought in B&Q. I have checked, the holes were not precut but the area to cut out was printed on the box. Anyway, now it is all done, thanks to all for your good advices. Letty
