Good idea, I may do both. Put some wood in the gap, fixed to the big post. Then some gutter brush to the moving part of the fence, so as it reaches the closed position it just bunches up next to the wood

Brilliant - that's really helpful. Thank you! :D

No reason I can't.. that was my first idea. I've got some wood in the garage which I did consider. I was just wondering if there was another solution that may be better, but it may be just a simple one with the wood I'm not sure how to cut to size as I don't have a circular saw... I can...

Hi Guys, I have an electrical gate which moves parallel with the fence. In the picture below you can see the black rail where it runs along. My question is how to block out the small gap to the outside? It doesn't have to block it all but just the line of sight, for privacy. I did consider a...

Thanks everyone. We aren't going to get overly worried here. The current vendors have responded and said they installed it based on the rooms being redecorated and it filling some alcolve space. They had no issues with neighbours at the time and still do not now. Like many people who live in...

Thanks Jacko! I think solicitor is doing this as part of standard checks but I will ask to make sure

Thanks, funnily enough I've just done this We emailed surveyor yesterday to ask and also emailed estate agent this morning so he could ask vendors. I've asked 1) when it was installed 2) what type 3) any ongoing issues with noise or neighbour problem We've asked other questions and...

Thanks all I'm a satisfied as I'm going to be with this. It's a nice semi detached in a village and all looks good.. I think it would be a bit silly to get overly anxious about noise when almost every house in the UK has some form of adjoining wall. I'm sure it will be fine and house looks...

Hi I'll admit to knowing very little about this but I'm struggling to understand how you've come to that conclusion I believed that most Newly plastered and decorated walls would have this kind of insulation on the party wall

Buying a semi-detached house and the survey looks very good. I just wondered though what exactly this meant: "There is approximately 119mm of noise insulation on the Party Wall either side of the chimney breast which gives the impression of a shallow projection of the chimney breast at first...

Haha question answered then! (and no, unfortunately not in this case)

Hi all, Firstly I apologise for being vague here. I've bought this house and hopefully will be moving in around Feb/March. Amongst my 100 random thoughts, I wondered if I could do a loft extension. It's a semi detached property built in 1970s I think. However the roof doesn't look very...

Hi All, I have a LogiMax H15 boiler which is a Heat Only boiler. It's worked well since installation and the plumber installed a new pump about a year ago due to a minor issue it had. It is displaying "Fd" now which apparently means "No Water Supply". Sometimes it does work though, like two...

Hi May be moving to a more rural location. No Virgin Media connection there at all and most of the broadband providers can only do 8-16Mbps. I am a heavy user, I rarely watch TV - choosing instead to watch Netflix, YouTube, and other streaming services. I don't play games but I have in the...

Here is a satellite view of the property

That crossed my mind too but the grass area and back garden is not that big. A leaf blower/sucker thing could probably get rid of it all really quickly

Thanks for your reply - very useful. This is the view from the front. The tall trees are just behind the fence line at the rear. On the other side of the road there are others which are tall too.

Hi All, Hope this is the right area to post in... My partner and I are potentially going to put an offer in on a house. The only thing really worrying me are some majorly tall trees around the properties. These trees are owned by the council. I know they won't cut them down or anything, so...

Hi, My partner and I are considering buying this house. It has an extension on the ground floor but we wanted to know if we could partially extend this up, to increase the size of bedroom 2 so that it goes all the way out to the staircase area. This would be so we could install an ensuite and...

No major damage. Some tiny holes where a screw or nail has been. Not sure what you mean by other wood? You mean the dado rail and skirting? These are already white and should match enough shouldn't they? Our plan is to paint all the brown wood white, the end of the staircase that you can...
