  • Engineering Bricks vs Stock Bricks.

    We are looking at having our wall rebuilt, our understanding is that for very damp areas / north facing that engineering bricks would be the most durable act like glass when water hits / sits on them. Current wall has facing bricks all blown through frost and are saturated black colour. What are the key differences please? Any advice welcome. Thanks

    Macerator toilets - are they any good?

    We're thinking of adding an extra toilet and we've been told it's tricky to plumb in and should consider installing a macerator. I'm not sure I like this solution as it seems overly complicated and a bit icky, so I would like the professional opinion of a plumber. Is this a good, reliable and hygienic solution, or not?
