    Shared Wall I can hear my neighbours talking

    also this shared wall used to have a chimney on it but we removed it. I remember the plaster was talking about using "dot and dab" when he glued the plasterboard to the brick work. Which I think may cause issues.

    Shared Wall I can hear my neighbours talking

    ok thanks not sure I would be confident enough to do this my self do you have to build a stud wall or does the wooden frame attach to the existing plasterboard on the existing wall? I have a friend of a friend who I am asking too who is in the building trade.

    Shared Wall I can hear my neighbours talking

    Here's the updated version: I live in a 1950s mid terraced ex-council house and can clearly hear my neighbours' TV dialogue when trying to relax in my lounge. The party wall was already treated during a renovation — plasterboard and Rockwool was used — but it's clearly not sufficient. The...

    Damp Patch on wall

    The other day I noticed after I had repainted my bedroom that there was a visible damp patch on the outside wall. I used an Amazon dampness meter and it's showing as wet on some areas on the wall. When I looked outside I can see it seems to be directly or very close to an air brick. When I...

    Front door Canopy Crack

    So I noticed the other day that my concreate Canopy has two rather worrying cracks on it. I messaged by builder/DIY handman and he said 'they are made from reinforced concrete which looks like it’s suffering concrete cancer this is where the re-bar rusts and swells then cracks the concrete.' he...

    Screw stuck in brick

    I'm not 100% what type of screw it is , just one that came in the packet and I used a rawplug. I have tried mole grips but can't get them to grip. I am using some cheap pliers now, but its hard to tell if the screw is actually turning.
