  • Install mains waste to existing downstairs toilet

    An existing downstairs toilet using a Saniflow system has never worked correctly. I want to explore if the floor from the toilet can be dug up, across a hallway, through a kitchen to the mains. We have underfloor heating which I believe is a wet system. Distance from toilet to outside is approximately 5m.

    Lime based plaster system for damp wall

    Hello, We have had damp wall on the party wall after the neighbour has removed the chimney breasts. We have never had this issue before and noticed this after they had started work. After recommendations from the surveyor we have had our side of the chimney stack rendered where necessary and chimney pots fitted last year, however despite this the wall remains damp. The neighbour hasn't fixed his side and also has no soakers where our roof and their roof join plus the hips that have been placed there are very poorly rendered with holes showing through on our side of the roof. The surveyor told to use a lime based plaster system and no chemical injections as they believe water is coming down from the chimney stack. The house was built in 1929 , and we would like to know what does a lime based plaster system mean, what materials are required and what is involved. We are currently trying to dry out the walls but it's not working. Please can someone help.

    How can I fix a stuck bleeding radiator valve?

    Hello, I have a radiator which seems to have a stuck bleeding valve. I want to let some air out, but the valve won't budge. There has been no change to the radiator itself or how we’ve been using it recently, so I’m not sure what could have caused it to be so tight recently. Are there any usual causes for the valves getting stuck? Could I fix this myself?

    Is it possible for this small job

    A very small part of my driveway was not concreted over when the house was built. I would like to lay pebbles down on that portion as it is very overgrown and unsightly. Would this be possible.
