    Can I lift a neighbours tile in order to repair our joint roof

    We share a concrete tile roof with our neighbour with the boundary running between rafters on each of the properties. We suspected one of the rafters on our side was rotten and had our roof stripped down to find the extend of the damage, get it repaired and replace the tiles. We did advise the neighbour that the work was going to be carried out. However in order to replace the batons the contractor also removed a line of the neighbours tiles. The work was finished, everything replaced and no damage caused. I apologised for not informing their tiles would be lifted as I wasn't aware they would but the neighbour insists we shouldn't have touched their tiles and wants us to accept liability for any roof repairs they may need in the future. Was my contractor correct in what they did and was I obliged to give more notice I did?

    Scotia beading, silicone?

    Hi. I have purchase Evocore LVT flooring for living room and hallway. The boards are 8mm thick. Underlay is already on each board. Im not sure if i must use Scotia beading. I prefer the look without. Can i use a dark oak coloured silicone? Do i need a specialist just to do the silicone? or can most laminate fitters do this? Other option is under skirting boards. The skirting boards do have gaps underneath. but it is a bit inconsistent though. Would all the skirting boards need to be removed and refitted ? can this be done with out damaging them? Is tis a big job? and again do i need a specialist just for this or can the regular laminate fitter do this? Many thanks

    Issues with electric shower

    Hi I have recently purchased a new build house . The standing shower cubicle has an electric shower which doesn't run well. For starters the water pressure isn't great and the hot water doesn't stay hot. Every now and then I get a sudden burst of ice cold water. Not sure if it is as issue with the shower or the water pressure. Would it be better to switch to a mixer shower? If so what would be an approximate cost to do so? Also the house has a ground source heat pump and no boiler.
