    Sub base damp from water irrigation system

    Hi guys I have a small project going on in my front garden. I am extending my pathway and have dug out the area for the sub base to approx 150mm. I have included a membrane and then compacted the sub base on top and everything looks fine. My problem is that next to the pathway I have a flower bed with a water irrigation system that waters each morning. The soil type is extremely clay like and each morning when I wake up the area where the sub base is laid is always damp. If I stop the watering for a week while the sub base dries and then lay my porcelain tiles using a wet bed of mortar. Once this dries and I turn the irrigation system back on again will the damp sub base cause an issue moving forward? If so how can I stop the water from the flower working its way into the sub base? Thanks

    cost and time frame of fitting vinyl door in the southwest of England

    I want to have a vinyl door fitted to the front of my house as a replacement to my current door. As someone based in the southwest of England, what sort of price range could I expect from door fitters to complete this job? I’d like to know what the supply costs of an average mid-quality vinyl door would be and how professional contractors would charge in terms of the labour costs? I want to know what sort of quotes to expect from contractors in my area. Also, how long might this sort of work take on average?

    Seeking Advice: Finishing Bathroom Snagging and Carpentry

    Hi all, I’m looking for some advice on how to complete some unfinished work left by a previous builder. The main areas I need help with are: Correcting snagging issues in the bathroom (the previous builder claimed the work was complete, but it’s not). Installing skirting, architrave, and re-laying laminate flooring in specific areas of the house. I’m planning to tackle some of the work myself, but I’d appreciate advice on best practices for finishing the bathroom and understanding any legal implications from the previous builder’s incomplete work. If any experienced tradespeople are able to provide some guidance or are available to handle the carpentry, that would be amazing. Thanks in advance for any advice or help!
