Hi all. Had some longstanding damp issues and wanting to try and get it sorted once and for all, who would I need to get out to try and diagnose what's going on would it be a builder? Damp specialist? Anyone you would recommend in northern Ireland? I'm pretty sure it condensation related...

I will do this tomorrow when I'm at home thanks

I'm not entirely sure, it has felt over the top but it does look like concrete under the felt

Hi all. Have a flat roof in our kitchen and have seen some leaks outside, no sign of anything inside as yet. Have added some pictures for an idea, it's 2 areas around the overhang and where the downpipe goes up through the roof it seems to be leaking. Around the downpipe there's a visible...

Hi all. Need my old lead water mains replaced and hoping we can go with the moling option. What should I be looking/asking for from anyone doing the job, any insurances, certifications, qualifications etc. I should be making sure they have before carrying out work? First time I've had a big job...

Yes new connection is free. Actually had guys out to look at moling and replacing the pipes, our outside stop tap etc. was replaced last year by our water authority and he says likely they have connected the blue plastic pipe from the stop tap to our lead pipes which has caused the problem with...

Sorry a question I forgot to ask if anyone would know, we are due snow/frost tonight and tomorrow, would turning off my mains put my other pipes at risk of a burst?

Would I be better not using the heating either? Or just the water I'd need to worry about? We have been offered find and fix or they will give us a sum towards replacement so waiting to see what their investigation brings up. Thanks for your reply.

Hi all. Have a mains leak outside my house, not covered because it's on my property, likely lead pipe. Going through home insurance who are covering a 'find and fix', will this be sufficient? Or will I likely need to start looking at replacing the old lead pipes anyway? I was also wondering...

Haven't done any countersinking outside of metal using a set cutter what would it entail on composite, drilling a bigger hole just enough depth to let the head sit flush?

Hello all Looking at some composite decking today that needs fixing, obviously as you can see from the pictures I'm guessing completely wrong type of screws used they are sitting proud and have rusted Any recommendations on what screws I should use if my guess at replacing the screws would be...
