Hi mate I am thinking of doing the fillet this week, whats the usual reason for doing that please ? I've seen it on a few houses, often painted. Also it's a concrete floor so I guess that's not helping. Any advice would be appreciated Thanks

Does the fillet seem to be something that might help?

Yes it seems to get the worst of the driving rain, although it's generally a cold flat with a fairly high humidity level. They suggested that as they thought the amount of water running down was soaking in at the bottom. I think the area near the door doesn't get much sun also.

Ideally if I can reduce the rain hitting the wall hopefully it would help.

Hi I've got a solid brick wall that seems to get damp and cold. I had a couple of damp specialists look at it and one suggested putting some cement at an angle at the bottom to help the rain water run away from the building. I was wondering if I put some kind of canopy / shelter type thing...

Unfortunately not

To be honest as it's tenanted they may leave the door open I'm not sure

Hi. I have had 3 other roofers have a look and to be honest I'm none the wiser, they all seem to be saying different things. One said there were so many cracked tiles that it should be re roofed. Another said we can not the chimney down ( I assume he means knock ) we will have to cement wash...

Thanks, there's no mention of scaffolding , quoted just under 500 quid. To remove all old base on chimney cap chimney off Then rebase chimney all rubbish removed gutters cleaned with a 10 years warranty I'm not sure what he means by remove old base etc.

Thanks for your reply, I'm only going off the advice from the roofer I contacted who recommended capping it.

Also got some mould marks on the inside of the roof , may just be condensation though?

Hi I have an old terraced house near Buxton, I'm getting some damp stains on the chimney so I'm thinking it should be capped. It's no longer used. Any idea how much that should cost roughly please?

Thanks for all your help, I may have some spare but I'm not sure. Ideally I would like to get rid of all the dated tiling long term, but it's a big job.

Yes it's not there unfortunately

Hi , I have a back to wall toilet that has caused leaks. I didn't fit it but I know there's a stop valve somewhere behind those tiles. I'm wondering whether it's feasible to cut one tile out to investigate? They are on plywood. Would I need a multi tool kind of saw? Thanks
