Hi, Just wondering if anyone has any ideas why we get mould at the top of the walls in some rooms. It's a 1960s bungalow, 4 out of the 6 rooms end up with mould at the top of the walls, when it meets the ceilings. We used to have a lot more issues, but we've managed to get rid of it in...

Hi All, We've got a section of roof over the old garage that is slowly starting to bow (pic attached). We had the felt roof replaced about a year ago and fell out with the person doing it over this, so we can't go back to them. This is probably a stupid question, but Is this a job for a...

Hi all, Any thoughts on what the issue might be the attached photos? It's a small extension with a Velux window, been fine for 15 years or so and has now started leaking as fair bit. Seems like it's been leaking unnoticed for quite a while and finally come through the plaster work. . I'm...

Hi all, I have a small playhouse set on a slab base. With the rain we've been currently having it seems to be soaking up water from the bottom and also letting some in where some of the tongue and groove joins are. The water coming in is only on the side that the rain/wind generally comes...

Got a narrow bedroom in the house, used to be a garage, it's about 3m wide for the most part. A large portion of one of the long walls is taken up by a stud wall that is protruding about 30cm from the rest. I've attached a (badly drawn) image for reference. There is a cupboard with an...

Just tried to turn the kitchen mixer tap off, and it's staying on pretty much full blast! No idea what make it is, can't find anything written in it anywhere. It's almost identical to this one. I'm guessing something has broken inside, it's like the lever isn't doing anything any more. I've...

Hi all, Got a few queries about conservatory improvements that I’d like to band about here as it’s useful to get a range of opinions. Did start looking last this a year or so ago, but got put on the back burner while we did other things. We’ve got a 9m x 3m conservatory coming off the kitchen...

Just about to get our front garden/driveway done and looking for some advice on the driveway material. Front garden is small and will be mostly for the cars. Few raise sleeper beds around the outside and some blocks or sleepers for the cars to actually drive onto, everything else filled with...

Hi, Not entirely sure this is the right place for this, so apologies in advance if it's not. Currently we have a 3m x 9m conservatory at the back our bungalow. It’s about 4 courses of brick and the rest is glass, big floor to roof panels, some about 1.5m wide, with a polycarbonate roof...

Hi - Just looking for a little advise. I'm just about to make an attempt at knocking up a built in wardrobe with some sliding doors and have a couple of questions. I'm reasonably handy but have no idea about something like this, which I why I'm here. I'm going wall to wall at one end of the...

Not 100% this is the right place but hopefully someone can help. New house - just getting to the back garden. Need to replace the fence all round and come across a little problem with one side and not sure what to do. I've attached and image to try to make things a bit clearer. Our garden...

Hi - not sure if this is the correct place for this, apologies if it's not. We've had someone re-doing our bathroom and it's been going really slowly - but that might just be me so I thought I'd check here. Bathroom is approx 6' x 8' (8' high), one door, two small windows, walls have...

Hi all, been lurking for a long time but could actually do with some specific advice. Very much a novice but about to get stuck in. I'm literally just about to complete on a 3 bed, detached bungalow and the place has a damp problem that has built up over a long time. We're going to sort the...
