A lock from a door in my conservatory that leads out into the garden seems to be malfunctioning. The key is turning but it won’t lock. Why is this happening? How do I fix it? If I hire a locksmith, how long might the work take altogether?

Hi, we are in the process of buying our new home and I am planning on converting a room (a converted garage with attached toilet (without shower, just toilet and sink) into a studio flat. I was wondering how much (and if it is even possible) it would cost to install a sink in the room and a shower in the toilet? As I note, there is already a toilet fitted but it does not have a shower. Presumably there would have to be drainage in place already which could help in these fittings? On a side note, is it necessary to have building regulation for this? Thanks a million!
Had discussions with local fitters but unable to get a definitive answer … Should vinyl flooring be fitted before or after bathroom toilet and shower install?
I'm rendering the outside of a property with sand and cement render them tyrolean. Do i attach the drip beads, corner beads and stop beads whats the best method to attach them with? Pink grip, using some mix and dabbing them in, nails or some other adhesive? Any advice would be appreciated.
Just had a gable end wall rendered with tyrolean leaving a very lumpy uneven finish with outlines of the blockwork showing through (ghosting I believe its called) . The original render was hacked off, then a very thin coat of a grey material was sprayed on to the blockwork before they started spraying on the tryolean, they also did not removed a wood burner flue just sprayed around existing render. Now after rainfall not only do we have the uneven finish but the area around the flue looks damp for days. Builder has offered to recover the wall due to poor finish but I am worried job was not done correctly in the first place - should there have been some form of render applied after the thin grey substance and before the tyrolean?
A roofer came and fixed a leak in our roof. Afterwards the roof was still leaking. He came back out and re-tiled a section. We were out at the time and when we got back he had covered the roof with a sticky, black paint/tar like sealant. Any idea if this is standard practise or is it a sign of a botched job and something we should be concerned about? Thanks for any helo
Im fitting a kitchen and utility. Had to cut the end panels in the utility room and both ends are bare wood. Do I need to do something to seal them and if so what, or can I just leave them?
Victorian terraced property with a two storey outrigger to the rear has cracks along interior walls where outrigger joins. The outrigger floor slopes down to the end and original ground floor doorway to the outrigger was replaced with an arch ten years ago. Cracks have worsened in the last few months with tiles in bathroom getting further from the outrigger wall. What can we do?
