Hi, I bought a newly refurbed house and found out later that it didn't have a gutter downpipe on the back. I have recently had someone in to fit a plastic down pipe but its making so much noise from the drips tapping on the bend near the bottom that i can hear it from inside the house and its...

Hi Can you fit a yale lock onto a upvc door for extra security? The door has working locks but i want something extra that will lock on closing in case anyone ever forgets to lock up the front door when they're leaving the house. My concerns are that drilling into the door may damage it or...

Hi Guys, Couldnt get any pics up this weekend as i cant find my camera. I had a look out the roof windows and the areas where there is damp on walls is directly below the chimneys. Where do i go from here. I have only bought the house 4 weeks ago so this is a bummer if its gonna cost alot...

Thanks for the responses. I will take some pics tonight and post them. It appears to be constantly damp and spreading rather than just when it rains, in saying that though it has been raining constantly for the last week! I haven't noticed any condensation in the windows etc, so not sure if...
