    • Tiling a floor onto old stone flags/bare earth.
    Flooring Specialists - 10 answers

    We have an old stone floor, with a few gaps between them, which I believe is laid straight onto the bare earth. I don't want the flags so need to cover it before tiling with large wood effect tiles. Do I put a damp proof membrane down first before a self levelling compound or would you advise putting something down to seal the floor before adding the membrane and SL compound.

    Wet garage - identifying source(s) of water
    Builders - 10 answers

    Hi, We have bought a house with a single garage with an asbestos roof that has holes in it and needs replacing. We are trying to decide on our best options as, ideally, we want to end up with a secure, dry and insulated space that can be sectioned off so we have an office/garden room at the back and plenty of storage space for furniture, gardening equipment etc at the front. What we cannot determine is whether the wetness within the garage is purely down to a leaky roof or whether there is also water coming up through the concrete floor. The garden is prone to flooding in certain sections, including behind the back corner of the garage. Is a builder the right trade to get in to look at this for us? We are conscious that anyone that comes out is likely looking to do the work but at this stage we are just looking for an honest appraisal so we can consider our options. Cheers.

    Hang internal doors to a metal frame
    Joiners - 9 answers

    I have recently moved into a council house, I don’t have a single door that closes properly and most don’t have handles. I really need to replace the bedroom doors, however the frames are metal with the hinges welded on. As I don’t own the house I really don’t want to go to the expense of replacing all the frames, is it possible to hang new doors onto the existing frame?

    Garden room electrics
    Electricians - 10 answers

    I currently have a garden shed with full power, with the garden circuit being a separate circuit on the main consumer unit. Power is provided to the shed via a buried 50mm armoured cable. I am planning on replacing the shed with a proper garden room. Is it possible to utilise the current electricity connection in the new garden room, effectively directly replacing the shed with the garden room? I would expect to have a secondary consumer unit in the garden room.

    Installing AFDDs in Domestic Property
    Electricians - 10 answers

    I'm a homeowner with a 1954 property that was rewired in the 90s. I'm looking to upgrade the consumer unit and have been considering AFDDs on all circuits to help protect the older wiring. But I’ve noticed many electricians seem reluctant to install AFDDs in domestic properties. Aside from the cost, is there a reason for the hesitation? Are you concerned about false tripping, callbacks, or the complexity of diagnosing issues? Or is it just that AFDDs are still relatively unfamiliar tech for some in the trade? I’d really appreciate hearing from electricians who’ve installed them—especially in older homes. Are they worth the investment in your view?

    Planning permission for electric fence?
    Electricians - 3 answers

    Do you need planning permission to have an electric fence constructed? Are there certain properties that can and others that can’t have one built? If so, could you explain to me how it works, what rules apply, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated on this.
