Hello, I don't have too much info yet but I am told the joists in the sub floor may need replacing. Any ideas on a ball park figure? Have you had this done or done it? Appreciate any advice. Obviously its going to be a case of not knowing exactly whats to be done until the Builder lifts the...

Here they are

The property is a one bed Bungalow 90 years old and on shallow footings. Forarmed is Forwarned as they say so

No I dont think so they are very tough and well embedded in the wall but thank you for taking the time to reply

Thank you so much

HelloI have spotted some silver colour metal pins going through the Pebble Dash in this property I have bought, have they been used as part of the repair?

Has anyone used this method for subsidence? I would be interested to hear your comments

Hello, Further to an earlier post regarding a crack where Lintel above Bay Window is, given the info I have received on this site and from other posts I have read, I am now leaning towards the Upvc Bay window not being strong enough to bear the large Lintel. Whats the best course to remedy this...

The Front Window is a square Bay so yes does have a large lintel and this crack is on one side (not the wall side). It seems to be of concrete rather than wood. There is no sign of any green residue. Just not sure if the obvious damp issue has come about from the crack in the wall running along...

Hi, From the pics you will see a crack which appears to have travelled at ceiling height? which someone today has told me is a sign of movement. The property is a very old Bungalow. From the pics you will see where there has been a water/damp issue at the top and bottom (but not centre). I was...

The Kitchen would be the only place as it is a Bungalow with Bathroom one end and Bedroom the other, no head room.

Hello, I have bought a property which has a very small Lofthatch 14 x 14 inches situated in the lounge . I believe it was made this small because of the joist which is running along side of it on one side and no room on the other side as it it too close to the roof. To get access I am thinking...

Hello Just bought my first Dehumidifier and am so embarrassed to have to ask how I set the Humidity? Does it mean what the Humidity is now in the room concerned or does it mean the level I want to reach? Don't know the answer to either!!!!!

Sorry they are not very good. It's getting dark. I will do them tomorrow. You can see there is a gap where one piece of guttering ends and the other begins !!!!!

Just been outside to take these pics and can now see exactly what the problem is. All the guttering is new why would someone do this? I'm feeling silly now I realise the problem!

Thanks for your reply. Just moved in and stripped walls, found this. Yes its an old property but does not smell of damp. The guttering was renewed couple of months ago by previous owners, not sure if thats a clue.Unable to get into loft yet as it is only 14 inches square! Having that opened up...
