  • Chimney stack removal

    Can I conduct repairs and remove both my tall chimneys stacks on my roof at the end on my roof (2 storey detached house) without having to gain access to my neighbours property and erecting scaffolding over my neighbours adjacent flat garage roof which is structurally weak? Can I carry out my 2 chimney removals safely by erecting scaffolding solely on my side of my property?

    Ground floor extension leaking roof

    We have a leak in our ground floor extension roof. It started with the paint cracking when it rained hard, but now it's got much worse and water is slowly dripping through the cracks that are growing. It's a flat roof and i can't see where it could be coming through. My question may be a silly one, but would i need a roofer or a specialist builder of some sort for this kind of work? We need to work out where the leak is coming from first, and then fix it!

    How do I make my current fence more private?

    I currently have concrete fencing and we recently took lots of trees down from an old pond. This now has created privacy issues. Is there anything that can be done to make the current fence taller on a low budget? I don’t want to replace the fence just as it’s a solid concrete fence.

    Why is my shower not hot?

    Our electric shower is producing water that is not very hot, even on the hottest setting… what might be the reason for this? It used to run much hotter… sometimes when we switch to high power it gets a bit hotter initially but then levels out again…

    Applying anti mould pain onto plaster

    I have a patch of mould in a bedroom. I’ve had it checked by a damp specialist who says it’s to do with the temperature of the external wall not penetrating water or other causes of damp. I’ve treated it with mould killer but can I apply anti mould paint directly onto the plaster or do I need to do something else first?
