    Indian Stone / Jointing Compound Staining

    Good morning. I hope that you are well. I am looking for a bit of advice please. We had some Indian Stone paving laid in mid-November 2023. We haven't actually used it, as such yet, as the landscaping work is still ongoing. We have noticed discolouration of the jointing compound / potentially the flags themselves, around some of the flags. As far as we are aware, the tradesmen working on the project have not used any cleaner on the flags. It has just had the occasional jet wash with water throughout the project. Does anyone have any idea as to what the build up / discolouration is please and any advice about how I can go about removing it? The issue is only present around certain flags, not all of them. The two videos here highlight the issue better than I can describe it :- https://youtu.be/dmBaGrDwe0o https://youtu.be/KhIEw1UHGvA The stone used is brand new. Any advice on the root cause or solution to this problem would be much appreciated. Many thanks Jimmy

    Two front doors

    My house has two separate front doors, several metres apart. Can I add a small separate porch to each of them without planning permission? Or does the exception apply to just one door?

    2 SKY Q Main boxes on one network

    We have a big property with two homes where we wish to have two sky Q main boxes in each property. Sky have allowed us to have two separate accounts with two main boxes (by mistake I think) however we are struggling to get the Wi-Fi network and sky working properly. Across the two properties. We have been battling with this for about 2 years and had some network expert visit the property and quote us some £2k to sort it out. Any advice would be much appreciated , thanks
