    Should we get a refund for removal truck breakdown?

    Our removal truck broke down on the way to our new home and we were a day late getting our belongings. We've asked for a partial refund but the company says no. Are we being unreasonable to want some money back?

    What should I do about wooden floorboard scuffs?

    My floorboards have become scuffed over time, with some areas becoming quite noticeably worn. If possible, I would like to hide or get rid of them, one way or another. Is it possible that sanding the areas very lightly could work? Or are there any special treatments that could remove/hide the scuffs as effectively? Any professionals’ opinions or personal past experiences would be great to hear from!

    Frost protection for flowers

    What steps could I take to protect flowers should there be frost in late spring? I can think of the more extreme examples too like the beast in the east. If something like this happened again what could I be doing to prepare flowers for such a scenario? And again just for late spring frost in general? I have plenty of plants in my garden which blossom during the spring and I’m concerned that they’ll endure damage or even die should frost him them unexpectedly.

    New foundation and existing retaining wall

    Hi I am planning to replace my existing conservatory with a single storey extension. The conservatory is just within our boundary but there is a approx 2m level difference, supported by a retaining wall. The existing conservatory foundation is not deep enough and building controls have said I can’t put any additional load onto the retaining wall - what are my options? Thanks
