    Re opening a door from kitchen to garage

    Hi, we’re considering reopening a door that would’ve once been in our kitchen through to the garage area (possibly old cold store/pantry) in our late Victorian semi. Can we just remove the newer bricks or do we have to rebuild it? Also wanting to create a pantry in the opening so wondering best way to section off from the rest of the garage.

    Bricking over a concrete path

    I am currently planning my garden design, I want to brick over the current concrete paths so that new paths will all be uniformed with the exsisting paths. I can't afford to do all the paths at once, so want to make sure that when I do the paths, the borders, lawn area and patio are all at the same height as it needs to be wheelchair friendly. So my question is how much height do I need for bricks on top of concrete? Guessing its just sand then the bricks and then sand in the gaps but not sure the deph of base sand needed. Any advice welcome. Thank you.

    Patio and channel drain issues

    My newly installed Indian sandstone patio has multiple issues. Several slabs lift off easily, the joints are uneven, and the landscaper placed broken concrete pieces on the MOT1 base without compacting them before adding the semi‑dry mix. He cut the end‑slots off the channel drains, left gaps between sections, and installed loose end caps. Water leaks and flows towards the neighbour’s garden rather than the gully. A small 3×3cm opening was cut into the drain, but the gully grate remains in place, preventing access for clearing blockages. The landscaper claimed the drains would “move” if slotted together. The drain grilles sit 1–2cm below the DPC. I need guidance on whether this meets acceptable standards.

    replacing a shower in rented housing

    When it comes to renting, if I as a tenant would like to make some non-essential changes to my apartment (e.g. replace the shower), is it up to me to pay for the cost entirely? If a landlord approves of a shower upgrade, is he/she liable to help out with the payment to any extent or is it entirely up to me to cover the cost?
