    Lowering ground level

    Hi, I've had a damp survey done on a house I'm in the process of buying and it has recommended that the ground is lowered at the back of the house to prevent water splashing from the patio tiles onto the walls (and hopefully exposing the air bricks so that the sub floor is ventilated). I think the job would involve slicing off some of the patio tiles, digging down to the appropriate depth, laying down a membrane and then filling in with gravel. I'm not sure which is the most appropriate trade to do this - would it be something a general handyman could do?

    Is it OK to get a handyman rather than an electrician in to change the cover plates on my light switches? All my electrics are up to date but I want nicer looking switches.

    Best New front door advice

    Hi I'm looking for some advice on the best front door to buy. It needs to be robust and hardwearing on the outer side. What brands should I be looking out for? Is it worth buying the door separately and hiring an installer or should I get 1 company to do it all? The old door is composite, is this the stongest and most hardwearing option or should i go with something else? Thanks in advance.
