  • Surface Water Issue

    Since my neighbour had artificial grass installed I seem to be getting damp patches on my property which are now showing on the external wall, and some puddles at the boundary between our gardens. I've been in the house for seventeen years, the artificial grass was installed two years ago and the problems started showing at the turn of this year. The buildings are on a slope with our house lower than next door. I don't think there was any drainage installed with the artificial grass and I think we're getting much more run off than previously. At the front of the house I dug down to the water in / out and there was no sign of leakage. The damps is at both front and back, as is the artificial turf. I'm trying to find out which trade would be able to diagnose this so I can employ someone to investigate and provide professional advice on what's causing the damp areas / puddles.

    Wall Tie Condition

    Following a home buyers report, it was highlighted to us that the wall ties may need replacing due to horizontal cracking visible in the rear elevation render. What is the best way to inspect the current wall tie condition without drilling into the external walls, as we don't yet own the property.

    Can I use floor paint for a tile effect on laminate floors?

    I have a large floor area which features a slate tile effect and is a dark grey colour. I would like to give it a glossier look and have some glossy floor paint that could work to give it a brighter, shinier look. Would this be recommended on laminate flooring? And if so, is there any special preparation I should make for painting laminate flooring? Many Thanks

    Water streaming onto conservatory

    There is water streaming onto the conservatory from a far plastic pipe (near guttering) on the roof outside at the back. It's a semi-detached house. Is there any reason this could be an issue with my home, or is it a problem for the neighbours?
