  • Can i control living & dining room lighting separately?

    Hi, I have a combined living/dining room with separate light fittings for the living and dining room areas. The problem is that both areas are controlled by the same single light switch. How much work would be required and what would the cost be to remove the single switch and install two separate switches to control both areas individually. Thanks

    Replacing a Flat Felt Roof

    Hi, We have a leak coming through to our living room ceiling from the flat roof/terrace above. The terrace is currently covered with felt and water pools. We have had a number of trades come around to quote to resurface the terrace, most have said they wouldn't replace it with anything else other than fibre glass which we can't afford. One company has suggested removing the felt, adding a bitumen layer, PVA and then self-levelling compound with a 10mm drop/slop so the water drains off. Around the edge of the terrace they will install edge panels with waterproof sealant. Does this sound like a suitable fix as I'm nervous about paying the money to find its not fit for purpose at a later date. Many thanks Nic

    Crack in wall- how to fix

    I have a large crack under my 1st floor window (inside and outside). From the inside it appears to go through the mortar and not the brick. What is the best way to fix this?

    Neighbours roof comes onto ours, can we take it back to the property line?

    Hi hoping to get some advice. We had a leak from our (100% flat) roof recently. It looks like next door have come 500mm or more across onto our roof when they had theirs redone & it’s very obvious this is where the leak came from. Not interested in causing trouble with them but we are having our roof redone in a few months time & I want to be sure that when we take our roof back to the property line that we won't be liable for anything. Common sense says it's our property, but knowing how ridiculous the law can be sometimes, I'm also thinking our neighbours could sue us for damage or something if we touch "their" roof at all. I do have photos, not sure how to post them. Only other thing to note is that the neighbours have fibreglass, we have felt. Will be replacing with felt "warm roof". Apparently fibreglass & felt don't bond well but it is a terraced property & we have felt on one side of us & fibreglass on the other so there's not much we can do about it. Thanks
