Is there a timer switch available for a shower room towel rail?
Victorian end-terrace with a suspended wooden floor, no crawl space. We have a gas leak that the engineer believes to be in the old steel pipe that runs under the floor from the gas meter in our cupboard to the kitchen. We're getting the kitchen redone at the moment, so the gas needs to be reconnected to our new gas hob. The engineer's best suggestion to minimise cost, disruption and the dining room décor is to send a new 22mm copper pipe up through the ceiling above the gas meter, run this along the skirting in the landing and then back down through the kitchen ceiling, where it can be connected up. I'd be really grateful for any views on this approach. Does it make sense and/or sound like the best way forward? What options might there be for re-running it under the floor? Would this all need taking up? And then can copper pipe be laid directly below or does it need ducting and/or screed? I want to know what's preferrable versus what's possible (practically and legally!)
Hi. I'm looking to have 2 sections of our garden decked using composite. The first would be 1.5 x 3.5 m and the second 3 x 3 m in size. The garden is flat. Are you able to provide a rough estimate on how much roughly that would cost? Thank you.

Is smart lighting secure or can it be hacked into or otherwise pose a security risk?
How do I make a gully type feature to prevent water entering my very low underfloor air vents? The builder suggested digging a trench, placing a brick fort around the two vents, then filling the trench with pebbles or dirt. He mentioned a membrane, only I can't remember which type. Please can you advise as water currently goes under the floor through the air vents. (Old Edwardian property). Thanks so much.
Should roof tiles always be replaced like for like? Does it matter what material they're made from?
