    I have painted my kitchen using Dulux kitchen emulsion and need to paint the radiator the same colour. Do I need to buy a special paint as we rarely have the radiator on a high setting?

    Slate roof. Repair or replace

    My sister needs a repair done on her slate roof. The roofer who came out said that, as a slate roof has a life of about one hundred years and her house is roughly one hundred and twenty years old, she should have the whole roof done. He is getting a quote together which involves re-using the slates but said that, off the top of his head, it would be around twelve thousand pounds. Firstly, should she get the whole roof done and second, is that price right? It seems steep from the prices quoted here.

    Source of leak in roof

    We have a leak and invited a roofer to repair who quickly recommended changing the flashing around the chimney stack. It has improved but continues to rain in but the roofer has advised he can't identify the source of the leak even though we have made some suggestions. Should it be so hard to find? The leak is all around the stack.
