    Bathroom Shower Pumps

    I am a landlord. The property in question has a shower pump with a automatic flow trip switch, which is proving to be unreliable and does not always "cut in" unless the shower head is lowered and removed. Would replacing the shower pump with a manually operated one solve this problem ?

    Planning permission

    I intend raising the pitch on my garden outhouse (11ft x 7.5ft) to accommodate clay tiles. Originally they replaced asbestos tiles several years ago but the pitch was too low subsequently letting water in, destroying felt and timber within. Now I want to renew the roof using the clay tiles, however have received conflicting advice concerning the need for planning permission. Please can someone clarify the matter for me? Thankyou

    30 year old double glazed windows

    Whilst the Anglian windows are still perfect the rubber seals are leaving black rubber residue on cleaning cloths and the black rubber coming off stains the external white finishes. A specialist says that the strip seals cannot be replaced due to their specialised profiling. Is there a clear silicone (or whatever) product that I can paint over the black sealing strips to reseal them?
