What ratio builders sand to cement for grouting paving slabs (Indian stone)
How long should it take a put a kitchen into a flat?
I own the top floor flat in a converted Victorian house in London. We think we need to replace the roof. I know that flats do not have "permitted development" rights so in principle we need planning permission. But do we need permission if it is a "like for like" replacement? What counts as "like for like"?
Do I need to have planning permission for change a rear window for different size? I intend to just raise the bottom part, I am not going to touch the steel beam above (height) and not touch the width, it is not in conservation area and it is not a listed building.

Is anything needed then on these boards before coating in the maple showerproof tile adhesive? Also any recommendations of the best type of grout to use?
Hi all, We’ve had some pipes replaced recently by a professional plumber to resolve some problems. Although, the issues have been resolved, I’ve since noticed the pipes themselves are plastic – I have some concern about this as these are pipes connected directly and indirectly to the radiators and the boiler. Given the heat that could be involved, this is a concern to me – is this normal to have plastic piping used like this nowadays?
My builders did the paving stones patio, edges fixed in the mortar. However, they didn't put the edging aligned with the house but 10-20cm away from the wall (different distance in different places). I'm worried that in case of rain it's going to fill with water. It seems to me like they squared it so it was easier for them to lay it and they don't have to cut it. They say that's the reason it's supposed to be done, but no logical explanation. I'm not a specialist, but is there any other reason why it was done this way?
What's the difference between an RCD and a circuit breaker? Or are they the same thing?
