The water from my bath tap is only lukewarm but the other taps are hot. What could be the problem?
I’ve had a couple of quotes for silicone render. One contractor has said all the old render needs to be removed first back to brick, with the possibility that lead flashing to flat roof may fall out ( it’s only been installed a couple of weeks ago) the other contractor has said that he will only remove the blown old render before applying the new 3 layer silicone render (base coat, mesh & silicone). Which approach is correct?

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?
We've bought a house that needs lots of work. We're trying to do lots of ourselves, but there are things we'd like to get the experts in for. I know trades all have different terms, but what is standard? I'm just quite nervous about handing over lots of cash before anything is even done. What are the terms that people work on for larger projects like bathroom refurbs, garage conversions, and extensions? On top of that, is escrow something that is used for larger projects?
How can I find a good structural engineer to check out my home before having an RSJ installed? What are the best approaches and criteria to tick off if I want to do this would you say?
