    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?

    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.
