  • cost of having asbestos removed in the north of England

    How much do asbestos specialists charge in the north of England per hour? I’d like to hire a professional to come out and take a look at my ceilings to establish whether there’s asbestos present. I want to get rid of the Artex from these surfaces but I don’t want to take any risks when it comes to asbestos.

    Is there any difference between a sun room and an orangery? The term seems to be interchangeable but aren't they the same thing? If not, please explain the difference as we'll be looking to get a sun room added this year.

    Painting gutters

    Can the colour you paint a guttering help with its longevity? For example, some colours reflect the sun more and some absorb heat more, so could colours on a gutter that reflect more heat mean they’ll experience less heat damage and last longer? Or will these benefits be negligible?

    Non-Traditional Construction House

    Hi, I've had a survey done on a property and it states, "The property appears to be of non-traditional construction. We suspect it may be a Swedish timber dwelling timber framed or possibly a Hawksley which is of concrete frame but with timber linings. Unfortunately, without destructive testing and significant further investigation, we cannot be conclusive with this respect." What does this mean and is it a cause for concern? Thanks!

    Outdoor Smell coming from drain

    We have a square outdoor grid hopper with a kitchen sink draining into it. It smells in the summer and have had it inspected by a drain engineer with a camera. He has told us that there is nothing wrong with the drain however the smell venting back up is really bad. How can we solve this issue? Is it because it hasn't got a proper trap to stop the smell?

    Insulation of a loft conversion

    With a loft conversion can I fix external wall insulation to the dormer of a loft conversion instead of hanging tiles? I’ll then render the polystyrene sheets to match the existing look of the house. Does this go against building regulations?
