Hi, I was wondering about the logistics of opening up a bricked up fireplace. This will purely be decorative so the chimney won't need to be opened, just the fireplace itself so that an antique surround can be inserted. - I was wondering if this is likely to need any sort of planning approval? - How long it would usually take to open up a fireplace? - Rough ballpark of how much it should cost? Many thanks
What type of cladding best suits a semi-detached house, peddledash, lime or polymer? How do these options compare and what are their pros & cons? Which do you think I should choose and why? Thank you!
While it is relatively dry I want to sort out my garden drainage. I have a raised lawn, south facing but it never seems to dry out. People have mentioned french drains and sand but not sure of the best course of action. Any help would be great. Thank you
My newly installed Indian sandstone patio has multiple issues. Several slabs lift off easily, the joints are uneven, and the landscaper placed broken concrete pieces on the MOT1 base without compacting them before adding the semi‑dry mix. He cut the end‑slots off the channel drains, left gaps between sections, and installed loose end caps. Water leaks and flows towards the neighbour’s garden rather than the gully. A small 3×3cm opening was cut into the drain, but the gully grate remains in place, preventing access for clearing blockages. The landscaper claimed the drains would “move” if slotted together. The drain grilles sit 1–2cm below the DPC. I need guidance on whether this meets acceptable standards.
can I use the same paint on a bathroom and kitchen ceiling?
