Hi all, From the pictures you may be able to see that I had heavily damaged plaster and a damp patch on the right hand side of my wall. After investigation, it was realised that poor guttering had led to water contact with the brick and it had eroded the external brickwork. This was then...

Hi, My cellar, which has always been a little damp seems to have got much worse over the past few months. During some really bad rain I could actually see it seeping through the walls and pooling up on the floor. I've had the guttering cleared as there was some overspill at the time. I was...

Hello. I'm concerned about my backdoor as we have had some heavy rain in the last day and I noticed a wet patch in the concrete that meets the corner of the door frame. Somehow water is making its way into the house through both edges of the door. I have always had concerns over the...

Hey! We moved into our new house 6 months ago and over the past month we've noticed our bills seem to be really high. Since moving in we've used approx 1116m3 gas. Our electric seems quite high as well but I was expecting that with an electric shower & hob. I'm not sure if there is an issue and...

Hi, first post here. We bought a home just two weeks before the pandemic kicked off... about 2 months later we noticed the living room floor can wobble. We viewed the house three times and visited for measurements many times after, we didn’t notice the floor shift once! There was nothing in the...

Hey everyone, I'm hoping to get some opinions on what you think may be going on here. This wall was hidden behind a plasterboard frame and it looks like there's been some damage at some point - there's no obvious lintel just the chimney plate (or does that double as a lintel?) I am looking for...

Hi, I have my mains pipe coming into the side of my house. I am going to have the adjacent wall studded out and therefore want to hide the mains pipe behind it and put on a low profile stop tap. My question is that it is approx 10” further along the wall than needed. Is it ok to make a channel...

I decided to decorate the small box bedroom in my house as it had not been done for years! As a first step I stripped and sanded the bedroom door smooth with an electric sander after having to scrape some bits. The door I think is wood with a type of hardboard covering. The house was built in...

I recently installed a hive dual thermostat to work alongside my Worcester Greenstar 34Cdi classic. The water side of things works perfectly. Boiler fires up, hey presto. The heating however does not fire the boiler. The heating only works if the water is on as well. Anyone got any ideas. Please...

Hello. Our Victorian terrace house is built with the garden wall continuing as the party wall for the property. Water is sucked into the interior of the house as it was built without any vertical break or damp proof course, it’s just one long wall. I removed the concrete render from the interior...

Hi, I am putting down new flooring on our top floor apartment (2007) that we just bought. One room has a balcony. It seems dampness is coming in from the balcony - particularly after rain [maybe that's obvious :o) ]. Is there any way to fix or mitigate this before putting down vinyl? Any...

Hey! I moved into a new flat recently, and it is fully electric (which is new to me) and taking me some time to figure things out. I'd appreciate some guidance so I can feed back anything I need to my lettings agency. So, I have an immersion tank with 2 switches. I've been investigating and...
