We need a security gate for the path that runs down the side of our house. Can you recommend any brands that offer a good level of security but also look nice rather than industrial?

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?

Should a floating floor move when you walk on it?

Flooring Specialists - 5 answers

Our laminate floor has some flex in it, a bit bouncy in places. Is a small amount of movement normal for a floating floor or does it suggest it wasn't laid properly?

advice on driveways being harmful to dogs' feet

Driveway Specialists - 5 answers

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!

Powering our home office

Electricians - 10 answers

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?
