    • Lowering ground level
    Handymen - 10 answers

    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?

    I’ve started prepping the doors but not sure if I’ve done enough. Will eggshell stick to gloss or does it need primer or sanding first?

    Hot laid asphalt
    Roofers - 5 answers

    I've got a largish terrace which has an asphalt roof, asphalt type boiled up from blocks in tar boiler. Presently part covered in GRP tiles. Tiles and asphalt have moved with heat and it looks very untidy. Terrace is laid over solid beam and block first floor so area needds to be water tight. Can tiles be removed and asphalt replced or is it better to remove both and relay with something else.

    What’s the best way to remove artex from walls?
    Plasterers - 6 answers

    Hello all, A property I have bought recently has thick artex across most walls and some ceilings. It has been tested for asbestos and received a negative result, thankfully. I would like to have most of these walls replastered over time and have the artex removed. Having tried a steamer and some sanding options, I’ve not been too successful. What would be the best option for me to remove all the artex while keeping the mess under control?
