Is tree thinning and dead wooding the same thing?
Hi there As part of landscaping project, we had new raised plant beds built using grey blocks which were rendered using sand and cement with appropriate additives. We painted it once rendering completed.The edges of these beds where beads were put are now showing sign of rustings that are gradually appearing and growing through the whole length of the beads. The landscaper says it may be paint reacting and we can use stain blocker paint to prevent. Can you advise probable cause and potential remediations for the same please?
I have a 55inch TV that I want to mount on to the wall. The wall is plaster board and there’s one wooden beam going straight down the centre. We want to put it on this wall as the rooms an awkward shape and there’s not really any other options. Would this be okay? We have the wall plugs that the mounts come with and some reinforced ones we brought. Will the wall hold the Tv? Or will it cause damage to the wall and risk it coming down

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
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?
