I’ve spent a lot of time reading and searching on this but can’t find a definitive answer. The regulations on paving in a front garden are clear on a new drive or replacing an existing drive but not modifying an existing one by paving, concreting or tarmacing over the top. I presume that...

Apologies in advance if this is answered elsewhere, I can't find it and a general internet search only throws up what I consider biased articles. What realistic options do I have for tidying up an old concrete drive and path that is curved and on a slope? I was thinking of resin bound...

Far as in to heaven and back every day . . . . .

Again, thank you for a very helpful post. You’re confirming my gut instinct, which is to bin the shed wiring by disconnecting it inside the house, get an electrician in for a power shower if we go that way and have an EICR. If my wife wants light in the shed (‘summer house’, but still a shed)...

I'm finally getting round to sorting the delapidated patio at the back of our house. It is a strange shape, a combination of squarish patio with an 8% slope and a level-ish shed base separated by steps down needed for the sloping garden (a drop of about 1.6m at the end of the patio, with a...

Thank you to those that read this. I managed to find some advice in the best location for a separator - at the warmest point of the system, just after the boiler and before the pump. My installation is tight for space and fitting a separator on a horizontal pipe is impossible without re-siting...

The system Conventional open-vent indirect system in 1930s 3-bed semi fitted 10-15 years ago. Wall-mounted Potterton Suprima HE80 boiler downstairs in old coal/storage room, water & F&E tanks in roof space, immersion heater in upstairs hallway cupboard, Yonus Pico pump, Drayton 3-way valve...
