  • domestic and commercial heating engineers

    Can you explain to me the differences between a commercial and domestic heating engineer? Do they need different licenses/qualifications or/and other requirements? Can one type of heating engineer do both types of work, legally speaking?

    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?

    Driveway Options

    We have a very large sloped courtyard. Currently several layers of tarmac, which all needs removing and re-landscaping as rain runs towards the house, not away from it. I need low cost solution ideas. Something that will keep the weeds out, but that heavy goods vehicles can still deliver pallets of manure etc to us, and also parking areas. Someone quoted us £50K-£100K to block pave it all, but we just don’t have that sort of money, and not sure that would solve the rain running like a river at times anyway. Look forward to hearing ideas.

    Strange smell in gutters

    There is a strange smelling excrement in my gutters. How can I safely remove this? Or should I ask a professional to come by and deal with it? I don’t mean because it’s disgusting but because I don’t know if it’s safe too as I’ve no idea what animal it has come from.

    Replace battery on outdoor lights

    I had an outdoor light fitted in 2017 by electrician, the light would come on in the dark when dog went out into garden. This no longer works, does it have battery/batteries that need changing? It consists of the light that comes on, below that is the small motor sensor and right at the top there is a little white box. Is this where battery is? How do I fix it?
