I have a 2 bed terraced house and have rising Damp on all 4 walls although it’s worse on the wall where the chimney was removed any idea how this will be tackled
Hello Myself and my partner are looking at some new homes which feature pebbledash walls on the outside. We would prefer the traditional brick look, as best as possible, rather than the existing pebbledash. We would consider these houses if there are suitable removal methods. Can the pebbledash layers be removed without leaving stains or damage to the brickwork beneath? Could bricks underneath be damaged in the process? Is the whole process expense typically?
Hi, how can I re-evaluate a build control application if my first attempt to gain building control approval is rejected? What are the main steps toward making an application more likely to succeed?
My neighbour is replacing his roof, as we are terraced property they have split the houses in half.

The current ensuite is 8’6” x 4’10” with a tiled shower cubicle, WC, pedestal sink and a radiator. What is involved with converting the room into a wet room? I’m guessing the biggest job is removing the floor to replace with waterproof flooring and adding a drain. I’d like to put the rest of the suite back in after to save money. How much money should I be putting aside for this sort of job?
Hi, my decking has been painted with fence paint and has stripped and worn when rained a few days later. Can I paint decking paint ontop of the fence paint or do I have to remove it first?
Can you install solar panels in a gated front garden?
How do I work out the best place for my cooker and sink to go in the kitchen? Are there any no-no's?
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?
We have a cylinder that can run on electric but also gets heated when the oil burner heats the house. However, our shower is electric that means we heat up the water for the shower even if the cylinder is full of hot water. Could a set-up work where a thermostatic mixer tap would get cold and hot water, mix it to say 40C (if there is hot water in the cylinder) and this would feed the electric shower? If the water that come in is warm enough already, it would not need to heat it (or just a little) if it come in cold, since there is no hot water in the cylinder, it would just work as an electric shower and heat the water. I could fit the mixer tap in the hot press right the opposite side of the wall to the shower.
