Hi I will appreciate any advice. I had full 2 bedroom renovation done in November/December 2020. All walls and ceilings skimmed, plastered and painted white. Now straight after the paint dry there were few cracks visible on the ceiling and down the wall corners. Now 4 months on on my hall wall plaster is coming off and paint is fleaky from right on the middle to the bottom, now behind this wall is a bathroom shower with wet wall. ( There is no visible leak, no water on the floor, shower battery is fitted opposite to the wall with issues) Could there be possible leak behind wet wall or the plastered wall isn't done correctly? I am not sure if I could post a picture to visualise my problem. Thanks in advance
I've just bought a house with 3 aerials on the chimney. Before I arrange for two to be taken down, might there be a technical reason for this?
Is honey fungus on a tree stump bad? Do I need to get the stump removed?

I have two separate locks on my door. The upper one is Zoo MK5 cylinder lock (knob inside, keyhole outside); lower one is a split spindle latch (lever handle inside, keyhole outside). To open the door from the outside, I need to unlock the upper lock and then use my key for the lower lock to turn the latch. I’d like to add a smart lock. What’s the best way to make this door smart? Is it to (1) make the lower lock a proper lock + latch and ignore the upper lock or (2) make the lower lock a latch that can be opened with a lever handle from both sides without a key? Which is less likely to affect the fire resistance of the door or hinder escape in case of emergency (because this is a leasehold property)?
Can a joiner repair my period sash windows? Or do I need a window restorer?

As a trade person, what do you usually do if a client doesn't respond after receiving the invoice? My painting job is finished, and I sent the invoice to them the day after completion, but they neither responded nor paid. I sent a reminder text after 3 days, but they still seem to be ignoring me. Just to mention, this is the second invoice for our service, and they paid the first one on time.
