Thanks for the clear advice Ronny, Did you have any thoughts on the bad brickwork here ( zoomed in photo) , is this a problem? thanks

Hi I am having some block paving tidied up at the front. The builders have prepped the ground and I can see red brick below the damp course. Is this normal? I thought the damp course would go down further? Also any thoughts of drainage around here if I am having the block paving done? Was...

I have removed some sleepers that were up against the rendered outside wall. Previous owner put them there but removed as I am concerned about damp. Going to get exposed areas blocked. A few marks have been left where the sleepers rested against the wall. I have tried 50/50 bleach water mix...

Thanks for pointing this out, makes sense will have to use the pyronix app for now, seems like it has got a bit more quicker and stable over the past few weeks.

Ah thanks gave it a go and didn't work. Just realized the whole panel and sensors are wired nothing wireless to it so might not have the 32 we connected? Could this be the problem?

Thanks for the feedback. I did try sanding it down but didn't seem.to make a difference. Have run some white wood filler over and will gently sand tomorrow. Will post some aftershots :)

Hi as the above post I have managed to paint the timber outside the window. I scraped away the flaky bits, cleaner applies two layers of primer and then some satin exterior wood paint. Overall the job is an improvement , however I am a little disappointed with the finish in place, where some of...

Hi any ideas how to stop water going everywhere in a wetroom? Current room as per picture. Often find that water has gone everywhere after a shower. Any recommendations as to whether something like a wetroom screen will stop excess water spray? Or would an enclosure be better ? Thanks

Hi thanks for advice filled the gap with foam followed by trim from eurocell and sealant. Installed in time to beat the rain!

Installer sorted today fired an angle off and all set :)

Thanks good thoughts Think I will get some expanding foam and then cover with some anthracite trim then run soke.sealant around. Any tips on using expanding foam? Masking tape and Stanley knive after?

Hi just installed a aluminium gate. Due to the width of space I have had to use 10mm plywood to space the keep and the door. Everything is anchored in well. With the gap between the wall and keep how would be best to fill this to keep the wood dry and make it look tidy? It seems a bit big for...

Thanks for the comments installer is coming back to amend as only completed the job last week. Out of interest why would it be better to discharge onto the rear roof?

Would I be able to climb on the roof myself would the rosemary roof hold my weight and do this perhaps going up on the hip tiles?

Hi thanks for the helpful replies. Prior to this there was no downpipe there. I like the idea of moving the exit 2 foot to the left. I suspect the vent might be up for the heavy water but not worth the risk.

Hi just had new soffits and down pipe installed. A new downpipe has been installed what looks to be draining directly onto what appears to be a roof vent? I suspect the vent could be linked to the extractor fan or venting to extension void. A little worried water is draining over this vent and...

Lap vents?

Good thoughts :) oh dear doesn't sound good with the soil pipe what shud it look like and what are the risks leaving it as it is?
