  • Getting locks changed

    Is it possible to get my locks changed on the very day that I’m moving house, assuming that I’ve got it planned well in advance or is this too difficult to pull off?

    Worth installing a cavity tray to 1930s brick house?

    It looks like front door surround has no cavity tray in a 1930s red brick house. Is it worth retrofitting a cavity tray or rely on other ways for damp proofing like stormdry treatment?

    Ideas for Garage storage?

    Hey everyone. I want to tidy up the garage and I’m thinking about types of storage. It’s a small space, enough only for a single car. I’ve looked at garage shelving, does this need to be garage specific or can I buy any type of shelf to use? What about storage containers? Or are they just a waste of space? Can you provide any other good ideas to store garden tools? Thanks

    Plastering over a damp wall

    Hello. I have a problem with what I believe is penetrating damp on an internal wall. There is no damage to the skirting or the lower part of the wall. The damage seems to be just above waist heigh and is slowly creeping horizontally. It looks like it's just the skim which is falling off. Underneath the skim looks to be cement plaster?. (It's grey and rough) There also seems to be salts being produced making the plaster fall off. What would be the best way to deal with this so I can redecorate. The wall in question has tiles on the opposite side as It's a dry cleaners which originally didn't have tiles and I believe that the tiles are pushing the moisture through to my side of the wall. I really appreciate any help with this problem. Thank you for your time.

    Removal of Silicone Sealant

    Would it be possible to remove some old silicone around the edges of my skirting boards, and then replace it with grout? I had the a slate floor laid down last year, but unfortunately, the sealant has started to peal away from the skirting board. I need it removing completely in order to repaint the skirting board and tidy up the edges with grout. The grout that was used when laying down the floor was London grey. I can supply the grout if that helps. I require this silicone to be removed, as it does not look right. Thanks, Shane
