    Porch -surrounding gap fill with what?

    Ventilating roof timbers? You mean the roof of that porch ? The fascia is the white wood around top? I can't see what rainwater has to do with whether those gaps ( where wasps are getting in) are sealed or not because rain falls down not upwards. The gaps are covered by the fascia. Let's...

    Porch -surrounding gap fill with what?

    Isn't that for roofing? I want to do under the gaps. Something like this? Geocel Trade Mate Roofers Seal Lead Grey 310ml - Screwfix but stuff like that isn't for wood? Well , the outside frame is wood but maybe it's concrete under that gap.

    Hole at bottom of kitchen wall

    When you say 'brick it up ' you mean like a little wall, one brick cemented on top of another? I don't think there's enough room for the height of 2 house bricks.

    Hole at bottom of kitchen wall

    Thanks, if I do that , down the line the fact that there is heat emanating from the radiator that shouldn't cause issues for the bricks and plaster iI put in? How am i to avoid getting cement or filla on the radiator when I work from the kitchen side, put some thin metal or wood in between as I...

    All lights out, all sockets still working

    I put the upstairs light on and it went out, i thought it was the light bulb but no lights in the house are coming on. I have never checked fuses on the box which is less than 2 years old I reckon. I take it it's some sort of surge that has blown the fuse, are these modern fuse-boxes...
