Just an update managed to DIY the crack to the screen. On reading a TV has an led glass screen with a polarising film on top. It appears a little of my polarising film was scraped off. You can check it's the film by wearing some polaisring sun glasses and the crack was not visible. I found...

Good thought thanks. The TV was worth 600 new 3 years ago. The excess is about 300 so 300 pounds in it. I have read around and the fix is hopefully as simple as cutting and applying a £2 piece of polarising film over the white part. Will post if it works later in the week. :)

Good thoughts thanks, did you lose your no claims ?

Haha just saw the joke, good one! It's impossible hahaha. Good thought about house insurance although worried will lose no claims and price of insurance will go up :(

Hi I accidentally knocked the TV screen whilst putting on a bracket. I have been left with a small scratch/ crack to the TV screen and a small white spot. Any thoughts ? Is there an easy fix for this. Thanks

Thanks for the advice , seems like a good shout. Some of the gaps are sealable but others 2-3 cm so will need rockwool. Rockwool seems to come in large packs, any other products that might come in a smaller quantity? Thanks :)

Hi , I have a log burner which I don't use. Around the top of the chimney breast area there are a few gaps between the brick and board which are allowing cold air through and making the room a bit draughty. Any idea how to safely insulate these safely and cosmetically? Pics attached thanks

Hi just had my gutters done a month ago. Noticed that in the rain one of the downpipe shoe drains water with a fair amount hitting the ridge tiles. I am worried the drainage might burden the ridge joint and eventually leak. There are no leaks and the mortar seems ok. Am I over worrying or...

Thanks for the replies trimmed off flush and sealed behind the brackets. Finish is nice and flush thanks

Hi I have just installed a wetroom screen from a good supplier. I noticed when installing the glass screen bracket against the wall there is a 1mm gap ( I haven't put the screw covers on yet. This is due to the yellow Rawl plug provided having a slight ridge so therefore sitting slightly proud...

Hi all thanks for the replies. Would this be covered by homeserve on the grounds the drain is intermittently blocking, suspect will need a drain survey? Or would this unlikely covered by their policy. It looks unclear reading the policy. Thanks

Hi house is 1930s/40s so solid floor. Got a feeling it could be rust/tannin so will try those removers if not then like your plan.

Thanks for the replies excavating at a gradient is a good shout. The area is normally relatively dry I had been testing a drain with a hosepipe which is why it is wet :)

Good thoughts will go for some pea shingle , weed proof membrane on top with some black slate. Is there anyway I can provide some strength below the pea shingle and membrane so that I provide a bit of a gradient away from house? Would mot type 1 be over kill?

Good thoughts, wondering whether to use some damp proof paint like this 1-2 bricks below the DPM and on the DPM. Followed by pea gravel a weed membrane and black slate...

Thanks for the good thoughts. How far below the dpc would you dig out to put the blue bricks. To be honest Edging might be easier? Would this be normal.perspex? Or is there is a specific product? Thanks

Thanks for the advice Ronnyraygun. Photo shows finish which has set at a nice level. Any thoughts on what do you with this area of soil to prevent it becoming waterlogged near to the house DPC? Was going to cover with pebbles with over membrane. Does it need anything below the membrane to aid...

Hi I recently put my hand in the square hopper of my drain to clear out some leaves and felt a tree root. After clearing out the leaves at the bottom of the hopper, I then put my hand into the exiting part of the hopper that drains the water off. Inside I could feel some moss like debris and...

Hi I am planning on putting some pebble/slate over an area which couldn't be blocked paved (old stump present) The area is very muddy when it gets wet. Was planning on putting a membrane down with pegs and covering with pebbles. I would like there to be good drainage of water away from.the...

Yes your right it is part of an extension, it looks like it might have delaminated slightly on the front. I guess it will be covered with the paving. The blocks are concrete so I will make sure to have a slight gradient away from the house.
