Get a 900mm quad tray, the enclosure, the waste and a mixer shower for £229!!! The wife O.K.’s it and I send her back to the...

    Removed patio - what to replace it with???

    That concrete has to come up. It's too high up and looks close to the DPC. I was in the same situation as you last year. I ripped all the patio up, relayed the drains, put a linear drain hard against the house and then relayed a new patio about six inches lower than the original. Not easy but if...

    should jag be bailed out

    Are you guys for real? The government finds the cash to bail out the fat bankers who got us into this mess and yet you squirm when Jag and LR come cap in hand due to a mess not of their own making. Never forget who got us in this position… BANKERS. It was their recklessness fecklessness and...

    Confused on what to do with damp problems

    First off I would stop the water pooling against the house. Either change the ground level and camber or install a linear drain against the house which discharges to a sewer or soak away. When I had solved that part I would wait and see if the bricks dry out on their own. You are right to be...
