What are the benefits of window planters? Where can I buy them? What are the best plants to use for window planters?
We want to install an indoor climbing wall to our child's bedroom. What kind of tradesperson would we need? Is it simply a handyman? Or do we need a specialist? We want to ensure the wall can hold enough weight to last until teens (if they still want it then). Any advice would be appreciated.
Internal wall in bedroom sometimes feels wet - especially after winter months/heavy spells of rain. There is some staining at the top of the walls and also some areas of damp/mould in adjacent cupboard. Old chimney breast runs up same wall so suspect it is related to this. Unsure whether I need a roofer or bricklayer or even if it's related to guttering/flashing. Thankfully, it is the only room in the house which has any damp/mould but would like to get it resolved. Any hints or troubleshooting tips appreciated.
How much will it cost to have a 15 square metre garage fitted to my semi-detached house in Oxford? What do extension builders charge per hour in my area? What will the supply and labour costs for this job likely come to? Also, what sort of time frame might this job take altogether?
How can I increase the pressure in my 2nd floor shower as the tank is on the 1st floor. I was considering buying a pump but no idea where to install it. The 1st floor bathroom/shower has okay pressure but it's not what we're used to. The heating system isn't a combi boiler I don't think as it has a water tank, emersion switch and a boiler separate in the next closet. The heating system says 1.6-2 bar when off and on so not sure it's a pressure issue. The shower is tiled over and behind the wall so I maybe assume the pump goes in the attic space somewhere. Thanks in advance if anyone could shed some advice.

I am just about to lay a patio and have been sent Grit/Concrete Sand instead of Sharp Sand. Can this be used to create a Mortar mix or do I need to add additional softer sand?
Our semi detached neighbour had a leak in bathroom which adjoins our landing wall. Roofers came recommended by letting agents and fixed their side and we asked to inspect ours whilst up there and said ours was fine. A couple of days after they finished, we found that this landing wall had damp patches (just been newly decorated) and now it is lifting the lining paper off the wall and a fine crack has now appeared. We have reported to letting agents and roofer (roofer has not responded to countless emails and voice messages). Where do we stand as we now have to get this big damp patch fixed and roof repaired before it gets worse
