Clean them by using pink cleaner? Brings them up like brand new. Best 89p you will ever spend.Hope this helps.

Each to there own! It’s funny really been using this method since 1981 never once had an issue.

Ah that 50 mm screw.

Hi mate, does your drainage run into the main on plas rd. I have done a diagram from the pics and info so if I’m seeing it right it runs like this. See attached. Pink is section 24. The gully at the front looks like a soakaway.

Measure width of door and handle covers bingo size of cylinder it’s likely to be 70 or 80 mm.

Hi Lucas, you might be in luck. See attached, normally properties at the end of the drainage run are public drainage and are the responsibility of the water company.

Good morning Lucas, can you show me a photo of the neighbours roofline at the front and back were it’s connected to you. If you can send a photo of the down pipe that takes your neighbours rainwater and the gully it drops into please. Properties built prior to October 1937 are subject to section...

What date was your house built. You might come under section 24 ?

What roof material is on your patio. Polycarb,glass, tile, felt or another?

Personally I would draughts etc plus it’s more solid that way. Rodent movement and peace of mind plus it’s cheap to fill. So yeah.

Yep that will do nicely.

I can feel a claim coming on!

It might be the hinges need to be tightened. Just have a check around the hardware as well. Bit of wd on the hinges and lock helps to keep them free and working.

Like Woody said, just a scuff. No mortar damage or movement that’s what your looking for.

1:6 for the mist coat and always pva bond in with it. It’s always worked for me so don’t see me changing something that works. Sorry thought there were pin holes in the ceiling.

Preparation, preparation, preparation. You can buy the best roller or the best spray system in the world it still won’t look good if your surface area isn’t good. Lipstick on a pig scenario.

Set a false front back 5mm Off your plaster line using a hardboard template of the infill area and use expanding foam. The template is simply a paper tracing of your damaged area.Simply easyfill over the false front flush with the wall. If not nice skirting boards would be a whole lot easier.

Thanks for the thanks, but your house deserves the best. If you’re doing it yourself wood first render second it’s easier. Check out Sikkens website for information. I don’t use anything else. I have walked away from jobs because people won’t pay that bit more.

Sorry Alan, just think of the amount of brownie points you will have once it’s done properly. I can tell you as an apprentice the one job you didn’t want was stripping that was before the use of stripping machines. Luxury! It will be worth it.
