Hi, I think is a question for a builder...but maybe it's for roofers. We are looking to buy a Victorian end terrace which has been rendered. Our surveyor's report has noted some cracking as well as poor, patchy repair work to the render & has recommended that we get this repaired. Would you expect a better result from a complete overhaul of the render - remove and replace - or would repair work be adequate? And how much would you expect it to cost? Thanks!
Good morning everyone. I want to know what makes a garden low maintenance. How can I turn my garden into a low maintenance garden? I don’t have the energy these days to keep up with all of the cutting/weeding/trimming involved. I want a nice garden that has minimal upkeep.
How do I know whether a two-port zone valve is needed for underfloor heating?
everything on my electric fire works apart from it blowing cold air not heat
Hi We are hoping to have an extension built onto our house. We have been recommended a local architect to speak to before getting any builder quotes, but we have also been told that a structural engineer might be all we need rather than an architect. Do we need an architect specifically or will a structural engineer be able to handle it with a hired builder to complete the work? Or even, could a builder do the job of all three?
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!
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?
Hello, Due to some major renovation work we have planned for our home, we will need a waste removal service to get rid of the junk being cleared out. We would ideally like to hire a skip for the waste with removal service after the renovation is finished. Does anyone have any estimates of the costs for hiring a waste removal service? Do most waste removal companies provide skips as part of the service? Are there any other costs involved?
I've got stainless steel racks on my BBQ that need a good clean. Will a metal brush be ok to use on them or will this damage them?
I'm having new block paving laid around the perimeter of my house and was wondering if I should leave a gap or not?
