Hi All, Looking for some advice here please. Is this Bay window roof serving any ventilation purpose in the loft and should be left unobstructed or can I put mineral wool insulation on top of it from the loft? Thanks

Thanks all. I'm already using wet/dry vac but with the amount of these chippings I would spend fortune on bags. I have 3 already filled up 3 big rubble bags and not even half way through it. What I'm also baffled is where all these chippings could come from, any ideas? I understand some of...

Thanks, that's what I feared. I'm not sure why the pointing failed, we moved in last year and if was already like that. Maybe it was just old, or just poorly done. If you have any good tips how to quickly and efficiently remove old mortar, I would welcome them with open arms.

Hi all, Was thinking of repointing slabs in the garden and was wondering if I need to first remove the old mortar completely before putting new one or just the the main loose bits? Many thanks

It happens that actually have one of those volt sticks and confirmed that the cable is dead.

Hi, Looking for some advice. I discovered today a cable in the garden which to my laymen's eye is not secured properly (see photo). We moved into that house last fall and it must have been like that for months and nothing has happened so probably it's either dormant or just switched off at the...

Thanks a thousand, that's really detailed instructions.
