I was not at home when it was put on. I did see some patches of mesh going on around the corners of windows and doors, but I suspect that it was pretty much applied in one go How can it best be corrected or overcome? Would painting with a masonary paint be the best way to seal it and make it...

We have had some external brick walls rendered using VPI Monocal GM and after about 4-5 days we have a 9" crack from a window corner. Image attached Why might this have happened? Is it likely to be a materials or an application fault? What other implications might follow? More cracking or will...

Anyone got anymore advice, please?

I can only see what is available in the property photos and viewing video. I cannot see any cracks in any other areas I have a wood/wall moisture meter, but would need a reason to visit the property Thanks

As best I can see. Outside the window is brickwork up to about 1 metre, which is well below the window, and the window is surrounded with a render finish. The area outside, to the left of the window, was originally a car port and has been filled in to make a conservatory. The end of which is...

My daughter has put an offer in on a bungalow and noticed this cracking of the plaster in the corner of one bedroom. The left side wall is an internal wall and the right side wall is an outside wall, with a conservatory on the other side, which is a plastered wall, so the brickwork is not...

Hi Wind has taken the plastic end cap off my roof. Please can anyone please tell me what I need to search for, to buy, to replace it? Missing end looks like: Should look like: TIA

Thanks, there are several areas where it is ripped, with another layer showing above, so I think two layers. Think that I may also try some circular push in soffit vents

Images show the damp on the rafters and the two layers of felt. Please ask if any more images needed. TIA

Sorry, I omitted to add that we fitted a PIV about 3 years ago. It does improve the loft ventilation, as it pulls air down which is replaced from outside. It also has improved the condensation on windows, turn the fan off and you can tell the difference next day. But along with all the other...

We live in a 1960's bungalow that was built on low lying, boggy land, so that we are in a fog/frost pocket that means the humidity in the house can be high. When the weather is very cold we get damp on the underside of the roof felt that wets the tops of the timbers, where they touch the felt...

Does this help?

Agent, informed me that check/certificate needed, they arranged inspectin/certificate and that brought back the need and the quote. I could get another quote through agent, who has another electrician that they use. Only problem with me arranging quotes is tenant (who is v. good) works shifts...

I have no more information. The flat is in the North East of England and I am not. It is managed by an agent and I have no contact details for the tenant. I, obviously mistakenly, thought that from the list of parts that I have been given someone might be able to give me a rough guide, as to...

Sorry, not available to me

There appears to be no doubt that the work has to be done. What I cannot do is appreciate what parts are needed and whether the prices quoted for those parts are reasonably realistic, for a 2 bed flat

Flat is rented out and work is required for Electrical Safety Certification. Sorry - should have said

I have a small 2 bedroomed flat that is heated by night storage heater and hot water from an immersion heater. An electrician has given me a quote as he says I need to remove the non compliant consumer unit and replace with 18th edition RCBO board. Remove night storage board and replace with Rcd...
