  • Help please, who do I ask?

    Hello! I’m looking for someone to remove and replace the silicone around my front and back door and the window at my house. My question is, do I find a handyman or do I contact a window company? I’m finding it hard to figure out whom I ask. Any suggestions would be amazing! Thanks so much! Kristi

    Rising damp wall

    Some mild rising damp identified on internal walls. Builder has slabbed directly to wall. Damp proofer advised wall should have pressure treated timber Barton before board went on. Which is better? Will putting board to wall cause more damp as there is no cavity for wall to breathe?

    How can I add a backbox and a blanking plate onto expanding foam?

    Hi, Keeping it short here, I had a bottomless hole which I filled in with expanding foam with no issues. However, under that foam is some wires I wish to add a backbox and cover that with a blanking plate (So, it will act as a wire junction box) but how can I insert a backbox into foam? I have had two ideas 1, cut a hole and glue the backbox into it or 2, remove the foam and start again but this time was holding the backbox in place as I foam around it. Thanks!

    Lintel repair or more?

    We're looking at buying the first floor maisonette. It is in a block of four. I'm concerned about the wide v shaped crack leading from ground floor window up to the sill of first floor window. Is this easily repairable and if so how much would it cost? There are hairline cracks in the bedroom to the back of the building - could this be related? Sorry - novice here!
