    How much it would be to remove one chimney stack that's not in use, install new lead flashing around shared chimney and concrete the flaunching? This installation is on a shared chimney stack.

    stiff shower valve

    Hi, I have a problem with my shower valve. The thermostat is stiff, thus is difficult to adjust the hot/cold water. From producer website the product is described as: "twin outlet triple control concealed thermostatic valve with ABS coverplate" (http://www.purabathrooms.co.uk/catalog/showers/showers-concealed-shower-valves/SQTCV). I need an expert opinion, but I assume the work needed is: - either check if there is any lime scale and try to clean it - either change the showervalve is the limescale cannot be removed. Anybody able to help me with this? Thank you, George

    External Window Beads

    I am currently looking at looking to purchase a property and in the survey report it was spotted that the window Beads are on the outside of the property. Does this mean that someone can remove the windows to gain access to the property? Would such a defect void a contents insurance policy? Are there any means of securing the windows even if they are they other way round?

    What kind of tradesman would drill a hole in the wall to fit a portable air con unit hose through?

    I'm struggling to know where to turn on this one! I'd like to be able to vent the hoses of my two portable air con units (one upstairs, one downstairs) through the wall and outside of the house, rather than via the window. I'm struggling to know who to contact to get a quote / organise drilling said holes and fitting the hose! I really don't want to be messing around with anyone who doesn't know what they're doing, but have no idea what kind of tradesman might do this job? Air con companies only deal with installing proper fitted units (££££). Thanks for any advice!

    Is it wise to remove an aerial?

    I don't use my old TV aerial, so I'm thinking of getting rid of it as it looks tatty. But my friend says I should leave it up in case I need it in the future. Is it wise to remove it?
