Hi, in what scenarios would I need a CCTV drain survey? Is it legally necessary in some cases.
I recently installed a PIV unit in the loft, however this has now made the hallway and landing very cold. I have already adjusted the unit to the lowest setting to optimise humidity management and can’t go any lower. I was thinking about whether an additional radiator at the top of the stairs would help or would a larger radiator in the hallway be just as effective? It is currently only a single panel 600x600. I was thinking I could swap this for a double or triple panel of the same size. Which would be the better option in this scenario?

Neighbour has pinned new feather edge boarding onto the existing using screwst leaving screws sticking through on our side . If this fence turns out to be ours and we need to replace how do we stand especially as the panels on the other side belong to the neighbour.

I've read about the dangers of asbestos in Artex. I know that there's a risk of inhaling asbestos in substantial quantities upon removing it but what about just being in the same room as an asbestos surface in general? Isn't there still a health risk present and if so, how dangerous is it?

Hi, we're looking to purchase a semi-detached 3 bedroom house but the building survey pointed out there's ongoing penetrating dampness was noted in the two rear chimney breast. Some of the neighbouring properties have damp stains in the same position on the external walls, which indicates a design flaw that will need intrusive investigations of the roofs. Surveyor also suggested it may be necessary to remove all chimney breasts. How much does it cost for the damp proofing work above and turnaround time? Many thanks
