The keys have 45 and 57 stamped on them. I may be around there later this evening so will get some photos. Thanks

Hi all, in-laws just moved into an apartment block and only been given one set of keys (which already makes me nervous based on previous track record) but when taking them to my normal key cutter I was told they couldnt do them and if they had to order blanks then it could be £30 each. Now I...

I have an outdoor light at the front of our house which is fed from a plug socket that has RCD protection built in, can I use that same supply to the light to provide power to a doorbell transformer for a video doorbell? Am I breaking any code here? The current bell is battery powered. Thanks...

Had to look up what a sprig was :) But have got some on order and appreciate you taking the time to reply

Have needed to remove all the leaded glass from our front door as the past 120 years have taken its toll and no longer fit for purpose. Followed suit of a number of neighbours and had modern leaded-looking type glass made which is pretty much single pane with adhesive lead pattern and coloured...

Why would I want to move house?

Thanks to the two that PM'd me with solutions, much appreciated.

Property owner doesnt want holes drilled, their prerogative.

I am looking to run a supporting catenary cable between two brick walls to support a covering tarp however I cannot drill or bolt a fixing into either wall. Can anyone suggest an adhesive or epoxy that can bond a galvanised plate to brick?

:D Two more quotes tonight and pitch of roof discussed.

I will have to enquire with the next roofer. At the moment I have been told 7 degrees and I have no means to personally challenge that

Does the roof pitch prevent a roofer from completing the roof to the same specification as before?

Been water tight for c.40 years. Felt/membrane has perished (aged) and now we have a leak. A few cracked tiles in the local area won't have helped.

Didn't see him. He was up on the roof and advised me once he came back down

I would guess so. He was the third contractor to visit and quote and the first to mention the issue. There is a heavy tile on the roof at the moment

Currently getting quotes for repairs to an existing roof on an extension that was built in the 70/80s. One roofer has commented that the pitch is only 7 degrees and not the required 13 degrees. My query is; 1) has this requirement always been 13 degrees or is that a requirement a new...

Our property has a single sewer exiting at the rear of the property. At the front we only have guttering and rain water collection going into the sewer. As we are preparing to add an en-suite to a bedroom at the front of the property then:- 1] can we run foul / toilet waste into the rain water...

Cheers, got a quote and the work scheduled in. The only adjustment was the electrician suggesting armoured cable rather than coduit; what it costs in materials will pay back against time spent trying to thread cable through conduit. Also more durable.

Hi all, have no intention of doing this myself but want to know if what I am asking an electrician to do is possible. We have a plug socket in lower cabinet in the kitchen which feeds the dishwasher/washing machine; it is located on the external wall. Can an electrician extend that socket to an...

We put coloured dye in the rain water hopper and watched it pass through the same drain intersection that the foul pipe feeds into so we know the front and rear drains meet at some point and run into the same sewer.
