    Removing mould from Cotswold limestone windows

    We have several windows with mould around the limestone windows. This is worst: We've used biocide to kill the mould and are sorting out ventilation. However it is very unsightly and I cannot know when new mould is reappearing. A lot of anti-mould products that contain bleaching agents...

    Replacing external doorstep for cotswold cottage

    Okay, so I say cotswold cottage - it is vaguely honey coloured, the chippings are mouldy and the ants have moved in :-) The old step is cracked and was also moved to replace a gas pipe and I've not been able to put back tidily or level. It was originally level with the inside of the house, the...

    Prefab garage + new flat roof = mould

    Concrete prefab garage has had a new flat roof, replacing corrugated cement board. That used to suffer badly from internal condensation in winter and I'd hoped the recent replacement ply decking+EPDM would fix it. In the recent few months it has started to get black mould and feels damp to...

    Sagged gate on metal posts

    Hi, Our front gate has sagged such that it no longer closes - top is ~20mm closer than bottom, and spirit level suggests the movement is on the hinged post (not surprising due to the weight of the gate, though the latch post is bang up against a drystone wall). I think I'm gonna have to dig it...

    Worcester 350 CH burner cuts out after 5 to 65 seconds (usually).

    CH comes on as expected if there is demand. Burners light no problem. But then it will cut off between 5s -> 65s. Most of the time this is just after the gas pressure is increased after 60 seconds. The boiler then anti-cycles for 2mins before redoing the above. So you get 60 seconds on low...

    Worcester 350 Combi Intermittent Shutdown and Restart

    Leaking garden room from horizontal uPVC cladding

    Hi, Our back room is leaking again from the horizontal cladding between lower rectangular glazing and upper glazing at the gable end. Externally it appears built using all uPVC with a tiled roof. Docs suggest a steel frame was used (there is one glazed end, one part glazed and one solid...
