It's an old house, possibly around 1910 I think. I think the original bay roof is metal of some sort, this has been covered with roofing felt which has lots of holes in it. It also looks like the wood under the roof is not completely sealed to the Brickwork, I'm wondering if it could be...

Thanks for your help, is that the case if I have only just stopped the leak? Or should I give it chance to dry before trying to push it again?

I am thinking it could be worse under the tiles as it would stay wetter for longer.

It's a small patch in what is a not very load bearing area, one foot of the fridge sits on it. It could have been leaking for years, but there's no hole, I can just about push my thumb into it if trying very hard, but not right through. Im not really worried about the chipboard itself just the...

I need to drill them to fit coat hooks. Last time I tried this I remember having trouble getting a good fixing. You can hear quite a lot through the walks so I guess they aren't very thick. I don't want to drill right through to next doors!

Not long enough obviously mate

Hi Ree, what are those then?

Sorry I don't live there so I can't, it's where the new wall of the extension meets the one shown with the cavity. This is it from outside

This is quite a big piece, seems like it was done intentionally

Hi, I have some damp in this area, should I remove that from the cavity?

It does seem damp that's why I made the hole to investigate

Great thanks for your help mate, do you mean I can use the expanding foam as insulation in the cavity? Or shall I stick to my rock wool in a bag idea?

Also I think the current plasterboard is 12.5mm I only have some 9mm, can I use that?

Hi, I have a hole I need to patch, I don't live there so want to do it in one quick go if possible. What's the best way please? Also I think the cavity could do with some insulation at the end before I fit the plasterboard, is it a good idea to put some rockwool in a strong bin bag and stuff...

Hi, I'm wondering if part of the problem is condensation from a cold patch caused by it just being plasterboard covering the end of the cavity? Would it do any harm to push a bit of rockwool in there? Before putting the plasterboard back. Possibly put the rockwool in a strong bin liner so it...

Hi, thanks for your help, I have nearly finished, just wondering of a throw over rope type catch is ok when there's a large dog on one side? Actually I have a bit of chain knocking about too so I guess I could use that. I have had problems with the click in latches and bolts on gates as they...

Hi, after a while the top hose is too hot to touch. Also I have re connected the fan and it does come on. I can't see oil in the coolant. I had a look online and it looks like I could test to see if the water pump is working but I would need a special funnel to see if there's bubbles in the...
