Yes and that's a concern for me too, painting is a reasonable compromise and one I might end up making. There's no reason to expect the brick to be in any worse condition than all the other houses in the terrace. It should be OK underneath. I know the place up the road had their Pd taken off and...

I can't unfortunately, it's a terraced house and a conservation area where I am. This PD is 70/80 years old. I was thinking of rendering over it all, but my worry is I then get told to take it off again by the council after the neighbours have complained to them. So I either leave it as is...

Hello All, I've decided I just can't live with the vile pebble dashing on the front of my smallish, 2 story house anymore. I just had a quote of just under 5K and whilst I don't think that's outrageous, I just can't afford anything like it. So, (you guessed it), I'd like to have a go at it...

Not daft at all.. many thanks. I hadn't seen it.

I've a condensation problem in the loft. I need some vents and thought soffit vents fitted front and back for a good flow of air would be best, but I was wondering if there is an alternative? The soffits are about 10 metres high so I'd need a scaffold and that's an extra expense I don't need...
