    Repairing leaky roof damage on masonry/concrete (garage)

    I am looking to buy a garage and found one that was unused for 10-15 years and is in poor condition overall (the price reflects that). It has a concrete roof that is covered with bitumen, while the front is made out of bricks. The bitumen is likely damaged as I can see a significant leak on the...

    New OSB sub-floors: slight movement and creaking noise

    Builders in our flat are replacing floor joists and sub-floors as the old ones were sagging and loud. The new OSB boards are 25mm thick. They finished the job and I have to now sign it off.

    Question on choosing fluorescent lights

    Hello, This is a question about types of fluorescent tubes. I presently have 3 x 4 = 12 fluorescent tubes in my office. The light level is good, however, I am unhappy with the heat that they emit. A friend of mine has two 4 ft (!) fluorescent lights in one of the rooms of his house and...

    Soundproofing a wall with an integrated window aircon

    Hello, We are renting a few office rooms near a very busy junction in London (its the first floor and there are lots of buses, ambulances, police vehicles passing by all the time). We have recently decided to turn one of them into a video conference room so it has to be very quiet. Last...
