  • Guidance on dying oak tree with TPO

    I've got an old oak tree that's dying. It has a preservation order on it. Will a tree surgeon be able to work with me to stabilise it for as long as possible and guide me on replacing it when the time comes? The tree is on open land, so it's no real danger to people. I just want to make sure I'm fulfilling my responsibility. Is there anything I need to do before it's worked on?

    Uninsulated Brick wall plastering

    Hi. Looking at getting my external walls replastered on the inside, the original horsehair lime plaster is coming away as we've replaced the windows. What would tradespeople recommend to replace with? I am hesitant to use hardwall due to the fact its a double brick skin and will carry some moisture naturally and needs to breathe. I have found this product: https://proofshield.co.uk/product/prooftherm-insulating-render-plaster/ which we are considering using Thanks
