    cost of water features that attract nature

    What are the best stores/websites to find high quality water features? What are the best water features you’d recommend both to attract nature (e.g. birds and bees) and to add aesthetic value. I’d prefer a mix of water features that make noise and those that are nice and quiet. How much would these features cost on average? What are the best ways to lay them out throughout my garden?

    Change a radiator with communal heating

    I want to change my passage radiator, we cut the water supply to the radiators, there was no running hot water and every radiator was off. We isolated the radiator that we wanted to take off. I'm on communal heating by the way, as we started to drain the water there was just loads coming out, we stopped at 2 buckets but more wanted to come, is this normal? Or have we done something wrong?

    Time and cost to build a brick feature fireplace

    We live in a new build home and want to create a brick feature fireplace in the lounge to give it some character. How long would this take to build and how much should we look to pay. It will house an electric stove eventually, so it only needs to go from the floor to ceiling.

    How do I prevent rats/mice getting into my house?

    I have recently moved into my new house. It is an old stone house and has been renovated in recent years, which I’m told has had some instances of rodent infestation in the past. I don’t want any repeat of that for me, so I want to prevent them even getting into the house as much as possible. Does anyone have any advice for preventing this?
