We live in an old pair of cottages divided by a brick wall and plasterboard both sides. We can literally hear each other (neighbours) through the wall. It seems to me like there is a gap between brick and the plasterboard (hollow when knocking) and I'm just wondering if that's not making the sound louder. We are expecting a baby and we wanted to soundproof the wall. I wondered if some soundproofing wool and plaster could do the job (not 100% but at least not to wake them each time baby makes a sound). Also, would we have to remove the existing plaster and fill in the cavity with wool (between existing plasterboard and brickwall) and cover with plaster or would it be ok just to cover existing plasterwall with wool then plaster adding few centimetres? I would be grateful for your advice.
Hi All. I have a glowworm flexicom cx24 boiler and the filling loop is letting by slowly, I have check by unscrewing the loop slightly and confirmed it. How do I remediate this without changing the valves completely? Is there a cap I can put on the valve after I remove the filling loop? The lock off for the filling loop in on the valve itself. Both valves are in the locked off position. Any help would be great, thanks.
What would it cost to relay an existing patio. lifting 18"x 18"slabes and relaying them cleaning the grass betwen them
Considering buying a house, but I will need to make the most out of the space in a small kitchen as there's not enough room for a washing machine. So i'm thinking of removing the back door to the garden, bricking it up halfway, then putting a new window in on that wall above the sink and washing machine. Leaving the plumbing in place. How much would that cost? I am also then considering changing a living room window into a single back door, to regain access to the back garden. How much would that cost? Thanks!
Hello, can anyone advise me on painting on decks please. I had my decking done last year and this year I wanted to paint. Normally, I use Ronseal Fence paint on my fences, Dark wood in colour. Therefore, I painted my fence with it and used the same one on my decking. I did this so all looks the same, Dark wood in colour. As I was clearing the paints after finishing the whole project, I realised on the tin that not to be used on decks. I have googled it since then and basically I have done a mistake in doing this without realising. Therefore, can anyone advise please if I need to buy another product and which brand to use on top of the paint I have already used so it protects my decking? Thank you for the time in reading and advising.

Hi all, I'm considering buying a house with a large (5x5m) conservatory. The grand plan would be to convert the conservatory into a 'proper' extension - brick walls, tiled roof etc. I've read people on this forum saying "yes, if the foundations are adequate, check this by digging a pilot hole". My qu is - if the foundations are inadequate, can they be 'upgraded'? Is there much saving in converting a conservatory vs just building an extension from scratch? I'm looking to get a very rough feel for how much it would cost to convert a conservatory of this size to a 'proper extension'. Does not involve kitchen or bathroom work. Many thanks in advance.
Hello. We completed the refurbishment of our new home 15 months ago including some new circuits and all new electrical plugs, and light switches. It is ex-council property. We just found out that the electrical system is unsafe and could cause electrocution as there is no earthing in some of the circuits. We have now run out of time and money to do a new wired system and are wondering what direction to take. I am pretty nervous to live in the property considering we have a 5yo daughter. What alternative options could I consider?
