  • How much to clear a garden

    Could you let me know what I should expect to pay to have someone remove the grass and weed (plus take away) my twenty six by thirty six foot garden? I have already removed half the grass and two thirds of the weeds but its slow going and need it done as soon as possible.

    Would building a new swimming pool need planning permission?

    Hi all I am looking into getting a new outdoor swimming pool installed in my garden soon – it will be a reasonable distance away from the house and be well within my boundaries. Will I need planning permission for this? Will I need to meet any other regulations/permissions? Any info would be appreciated!

    Can water supply pipe from mains run partially above ground?

    Hi, We have an external water leak. A contractor has been today and one option given is replacing the pipe altogether rather than trying to trace the leak and repair. This I am happy with. However they have suggested putting the supply pipe under the driveway from the meter on the pavement, then bringing it up in the garage (so it will be above ground in the garage), running it the length of the garage and then connecting it to an existing water pipe that we have in the garage for the washing machine. They would then install a new stopcock, and block off our existing one. Reason for this option is to save having to take up the floor in the house. Does this sound right?

    Do I need one coat of plaster or two?

    Recently we have had one of our bedrooms re-plastered by a professional plasterer and decorator, but I’ve begun to notice that some of the areas are looking quite poorly done and not coated particularly thickly. Evident around plug sockets, switches and other fixtures in particular. It appears to be one layer of plaster that has been used. Is this normal for plasterwork nowadays? I recall that in previous years, plasterers would use two layers, but perhaps things have changed. I would like to know for sure, so that I know whether I will need to contact the plaster regarding their work. I would appreciate any information about this.
