    I'm buying some second-hand wooden kitchen units, but I think they'll need a bit of modification to fit. Is this something a carpenter or joiner can help with?

    Can you clad over the top of render?

    Is it possible to clad over render or does render need removing first? We hate our house's current render and would like modern cladding like composite and wood boards.

    Damp patch / removing top room chimney breast

    Hi there I have a persistent damp patch directly in the middle of the chimney breast in a third floor bedroom of my old 1905 house. We have had lots of roof work done and lots of roofers come and go, not having a definite answer as to why it's there. We have since had the stack removed under the tile line but the patch is still there. There are no obvious leaks and we've had ridge tiles pointed, re-tiled the full area around it, and bricks sealed (amongst other things) and spent a lot of time and money we don't have and still it comes back a few hours after it has rained. We are thinking of removing the chimney breast now entirely from that room in the hope that sorts it. As the stack is gone, is this a relatively straight forward job? How much would I expect to pay? Alternatively, does anyone know why/how this moisture is getting in and going to the centre of the chimney breast?! Thanks!
