I've just seen a magazine article on Yale door and window sensors. Do you think these are a good alternative to a burglar alarm?
Hi, what costs would we be looking at to lay for someone to come in and install a conservatory base both with and without dwarf walls so we could add a conservatory like this https://www.wickes.co.uk/SOLid-Roof-Dwarf-Wall-Lean-To-Conservatory-with-White-Frame+Titanium-Grey-Tiles---4-x-3m/p/288132. Alternatively would we better off getting someone in to do the whole job so base and solid roof conservatory? Thank you
Is it true that driveways and similar surfaces are harmful to dogs’ feet? I’ve read a little on the subject and it does concern me as I have two border collies and especially with the way the weather’s been lately, I don’t want them burning their feet during the summer months. If it is true, what can I do to protect them? Is it best to only walk them in the evening when it's cool during the summer months? Is there anything else I can do, like a cream or product that I could add so that it wouldn’t hurt or damage their feet? Any thoughts? Thanks!
What sort of costs are involved in the design stage of creating an infinity pool?
When we moved into our terraced house, there was a small play house and a shed in the backyard both of which were powered via a non-buried armoured cable that ran to a standard outdoor outlet at the back of the house. We had both removed, and had the wire disconnected as it was clearly not properly installed and wires at the box were exposed to the elements. We then had an insulated summer house built thinking powering it wouldn't be an issue (it's our first house, forgive our ignorance!) We've had an electrician in but he's said it requires us to have the cable running from the fusebox. Understandable. Problem is, that the fusebox is at the very front of our house, and while the first two thirds of the house is floorboards and somewhat accessible, according to our neighbours (we haven't ripped up the floors yet to check) the rear of our house is solid concrete. Do we have any options?
Can subsidence be caused by a failing or damaged drain. How can I tell if it is a drain that is at fault or something else. Also, if it is due to the drainage, how is the property made stable.
What are the primary causes of brick deterioration? I would like to deal with this issue and find a solution to stop them wearing down over time to hold off the need to replace bricks.
We have a bathroom extractor fan venting into our insulated loft space. We want to get it sorted and we were told by a tradesperson they could run the extractor fan out through the eaves. I've read online that going through the eaves is a bad for mould as the moisture can condense there. Is this a good idea or should I ask to go through the soffit? Thanks in advance.
