    Silicone & masking tape......never again!

    I always use green frog tape for this job. The trick I have found is to apply silicone using a lollipop stick - its perfect radius and super easy to manouvere. If you apply the tape at just the right distance from the joint on both vertical and horizontal faces, there is minimum overlap of...

    How Bad Is This?

    It does not, but then why did you get any of it done to start with? I am assuming because you want a good quality refresh? If you are happy as is, then you lead the way, but still only half a job

    Roman tiles installed next to Ludlow without bonding gutter. (Ed.)

    Besides the issue of the leak and compatibility of tiles which ofcourse needs resolving, what would be your best outcome? Yes he can step back the neighbours tiles but then I am assuming he would need to source a new column of Ludlow tiles for your roof so you would have an ugly strip of new...

    Help with cracks and gaps in brickwork surrounding windows

    IM sure installers can use cover strips etc. Have you put a spirit level on the brickwork to see if it has bowed? The foam looks smaller and top and bottom and wider in middle - maybe brickwork has bowed out?

    How much can I hang off this wall?

    Something like this maybe, plus or minus the pad feet, and bolt your rack to the vertical parts. Believe they are called H frames

    How much can I hang off this wall?

    Maybe some vertical uni-strut rails from the floor (so like a basic ladder frame) to carry the vertical weight down through the floor, and pin back to the concrete blocks Would only push the frame out another 50mm

    What should I understand by 'making good'?

    I guess it depends on price. What did you pay? The price will pretty much indicate if whats been done is reasonable scope or if he should be finishing works for the money

    Manhole re-benched - Is this acceptable

    They haven't rebenched the manhole or installed a replacement piece of pipe at correct level. Looks like they have lined atop the old pipe beneath with section of modern plastic 110 pipe. I would get it redone

    What’s wrong with this DRIVEWAY

    What did you discuss and ask them to do? What was you expecting to happen with the levels? Would you be happy with a sloping driveway towards the house? Sounds like some communication didnt happen here

    MOT Type 1

    I would take as lesson learned and let it be, and worry about bigger fish on the horizon. If this was the only thing to worry about you've got a smashing builder but in reality there will no doubt be something more important to focus on coming up rather than trip yourself up with delays and...
