O OK. So potentially no major issues then. Thanks I didn't realise that

The waste pipe for the sink was leaking causing the water on the outside on the photos. Fixed that but still have approx 2l every day from the dehumidifier. Seems very strange as it's been so dry.

Thanks guys for the comprehensive answers. I'll have another go using your advice

Hi Probably a quick and easy question for someone who knows.... Basically outside tap is very low pressure. Traced pipes back to just above stop cock. There is a isolation tap solely for the outside tap. It's very stiff and will move about a quarter of a turn. The only part that moves is the...

When I said useable... I meant as storage and not covered in mould. Is this possible without spending a fortune?

Hi Short version - moved into new house with a cellar (one main section and then a small further section with outside wall). I believe it was an old coal a cellar. Upon purchasing house appeared fairly dry. Took advice and bitchumen painted the walls to hopefully create a dry usable space...

I'm not any more.

Hi Yes asked him to block up the door. No further details discussed except a general "make good and decorate". As we removed a wall there was now 2 doors into the same room about 50cm apart. I was expecting both sides to be blocked up. The TV bracket was just attaching to the wall and...

Hi Thanks for the replies. Regarding the door, I was expecting both sides to be blocked up under the agreed works of blocking up a door. I guess there is some ambiguity as far as I didn't specify both sides but I would have tought that was fairly obvious. Is this unreasonable? I have the same...

Thanks for the comment. Excellent point.

Hi Could I ask anyone more experienced than myself their opinion on this situation. Essentially I agreed a price with a builder including a fixed price for making a large family room and replacing the kitchen etc. This included a list of tasks and any other reasonable tasks to complete the...

I would like to tile over this wet room floor. There is a wet room type waste in the middle of the recessed floor for the shower. It's the hospital lino type flooring. Could I tile directly over? Any help would be very much appreciated Thanks

Thanks for the reply. Excuse my ignorance. I can manage removing the handle. Does the locking system simply unscrew or is it more complicated than that. Thanks

Hi I have a UPVC window that does not lock. The handle moves and I can hear clicking behind the handle but she shoot bolts do not move which I assume means they don't engage the locking points and I assume the window pushed open as a result. What is likely to be the issue and is it easy to...

Great thanks. I have purchased the wall ladders and will sort foundations out. Thanks to you both for your advice. Appreciate it

Hi. Thanks that sounds good advice. I can do that. There are 2 trees on the inside. 1 is dead, the other I will get rid of the same time as re-building so hopefully that will resolve that as the "root" cause. When rebuiding how can I ensure the wall is as strong with the reinforcing. I want to...

Hi My block garden wall is unstable. As a result I am having it knocked down and rebuilt. I want to reinforce it properly to ensure this time it is sound. Would something like this every other horizontal and vertical mortor run help or is there anything better I can use? Also is the second...

No the the local police has spoken to her before and said if she is happy then there isn't much we can do.

Yes exactly my concern hence this post. To me, £10,000 just for sound proofing 2 small flats sounds too expensive, but I am no expert.
