    New axle

    They were changed because it creaked when turning left or right on full lock or a tight circle. That issue has been fixed now. I think the issue is the power steering needs to be used and the balancing

    New axle

    On the end which attaches to the wheel. Forget the name of it. The rubber section waterproofs the bearing connection on the shaft I think

    New axle

    Yes it might be the steering which needs to bleed. I haven’t driven much since it was done. Will get it retracted

    New axle

    On full lock or near it and on both sides the steering clicked and creaked. This has now gone. So the axel’s were replaced both sides. But I am getting a slightly different sound and I was thinking it is down to the tracking 2015 Citroen berlingo 1,6 van

    New axle

    The front left and right axles have been changed on my van. I get a little stiffness when I turn the wheel more sharply. Does this mean I now need the tracking resetting? It wasn’t reset by the mobile mechanic who did it.

    Chimney Flaunching mortar

    I am removing the old victorian pots on a chimney and replacing with basic gas terminals as none are actually working chimneys. I am also repointing the chimney using NHL5 lime and sand. I want to use cement to flaunch using a 3:1 mix. But will I be ok adding some lime into this mix to help...

    Is my HE leaking?

    Do you mean risk from CO poisoning? There are 40 deaths per yr on average in the U.K. Walking in central London puts you in more danger

    Any idea on chimney repoint cost (scaffold sorted already)

    Looks like the system has made two posts. So this is the duplicate. It can be deleted.

    Any idea on chimney repoint cost (scaffold sorted already)

    I think the top needs replacing (flaunching). So the pots will have to come off, but I think it will be easier to replace with breathing vents. We are getting water into one flats chimney plus the bottom flat has water also. I thought £50 for raking and repointing.

    Any idea on chimney repoint cost (scaffold sorted already)

    No £700 one stack and £400 the other. Just repointing and raking out.

    Any idea on chimney repoint cost (scaffold sorted already)

    I get that but can people not just say how much if the top needs to come off one of them and be redone ? £2k per chimney from a Londoner. So much less for Yorkshire. I personally think £400 and £700 is a fair price for the two.

    Any idea on chimney repoint cost (scaffold sorted already)

    Ok, but you are in London. This is Yorkshire, so I imagine it will be half that for up here. So £1k each. I have roughly measured the area on each chimney for pointing though. I get 4 sqm and 9 sqm. So if it was per sqm at £50 it would be £200 and £450. I can see that those costs are too...

    Any idea on chimney repoint cost (scaffold sorted already)

    It's tall but the scaffolding will all be up. You must be old then, but there will be lots of younger teams happy to do it. So any idea on cost for these chimneys if on a normal semi ? I just need to get an idea on prices so the management company can't rip us off.

    We have sorted scaffolding on an older block of flats to redo the gutter and facias. We also want 2 chimney stacks repointing. One also needs the chimney tops taking off and replacing with breathing cowls. Any idea on the cost ? These are the details: !870 building in Yorkshire Stack one...

    Where does the leak come from?

    I know the far end of the flashing there is a section of pointing broken off. I also got this photo. It’s my neighbours end though. I will need to ask him if he has an issue

    Where does the leak come from?

    I did this today as didn’t have any slates. I will see if the issue dries out. I suppose if not it may be the flaunching. Will need to speak to the neighbours
