Ours is so bad it's dropping off onto the patio and all over the place making it hard to use our garden. Every time we clear the patio the moss is back from the roof within the day. We're hoping that if we clear it we can never let it get to this state again. I also thought it was bad to have...

Hello. I had a look at the videos but we are not confident doing the removal ourselves. I have managed to get a quote from a roofing company but was a little shocked to be told it would cost £700. Does this sound correct? We have a 3 bed semi with a small ground floor extension on back and...

I am trying to find someone to remove serious roof moss from our house but without a pressure washer as this can damage the tiles. I'm struggling to find a company who doesn't use a pressure washer. We are in Bucks. Can anyone recommend somebody or point me in the right direction please?

We had to have the house rewired, all except for the kitchen as that is an extension and electrician said it would mess up new kitchen so rewire when we change units later. He did also say about good quality bulbs and put decent ones in at the time. They still went quickly. We are buying...

We have 9 halogens in our kitchen and they are all on a single switch. This was all fitted before we moved in. The bulbs don't seem to last long at all and we are getting fed up with changing them. We tried a lower wattage bulb to see if that helped and they have lasted slightly longer. Do you...

Yes that photo is exactly like what we have. The surveyor we used, although RICS etc, missed some subsidence in the front porch and isn't very forthcoming with info. There aren't any obvious roof vents so want to make sure we do any fixing, including insulation, right.

Hoping this is the correct part of the forum. We bought our 1964 house at the start of this year. The house had a single story extension put on the back in 1979. The extension runs across the back of the house giving a bigger kitchen and an extra room on the back of the old lounge. It has a...

We had our house rewired in August and during this we replaced the old room thermostat with a Honeywell DT90E and also moved it from the lounge to the downstairs hall. Moving it was suggested as the original position was opposite a working real fireplace. In the hall we made sure it was not...

Just checked the link and if we were to build the porch today it wouldn't meet building regs as there is no door separating the porch. Really they have just extended the hall.

We bought our new house in April and the survey missed the porch subsidence. The original house has a bay window and the previous owners pulled the front door forward in line with this creating a larger hall approx 12 years ago. They didn't apply for planning or buildings regs. The porch is now...

We are just having a full house rewire on a house we bought 2 months ago. There is an old style thermostat in the lounge (which also has a working open fireplace) and I would like to change it for something more modern. Should we move the position during rewire? Other side of current wall...

We moved into our house 2 months ago and there is a huge Norway Maple Tree in our back garden. It's close to the house and taking a lot of light from the garden. We contacted the council and no TPO on it so got their recommended tree surgeon out. He suggested we could just remove it but my...

Thank you!! I think the buyers are trying to intimidate us into leaving them. Not going to work though :)

Hello We are selling our house and want to take 3 of the ceiling lights with us. We indicated this in the fixtures and fittings form. We know we have to replace them with a ceiling rose etc The sellers are now asking if we will have a qualified electrician remove these. Legally can they...

Thank you so much!! You've been very helpful :)

How would indemnity insurance work please? Do we tell them about door and then offer it ourselves? Is it expensive?

Thank you. On the property information form we submitted we had to write about any buildings works done. Here we have already put "porch added" and explaned it was a permitted development exempt from planning and buildings regs. The buyers solictor has written back (with a whole host of other...

About 6 years ago we had a small porch put on our house. In order to stay within permitted development we had to have an exterior door between the porch and our house. We put our old front door at the front and a basic exterior between house and porch. The basic door was ugly and later we...
