drainage and bog garden and pond

My neighbours and I live at the bottom of a hill and our shared access gets boggy when it rains. I'm considering putting a bog garden and perhaps a pond in my garden to try to encourage some of the water to accumulate elsewhere. One of my neighbours owns the shared acess and doesn't want people doin...

hole in garden leads to cellar

Hello! I live in a rented property and whilst doing a bit of gardening earlier I came across a slab by the front door. It wasn't cemented in place or anything and I moved it a bit to investigate.

Re: Electric fire plug over heating in socket

Re: CHVAC and mould and mildew

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a detailed reply. Our house has two larger rooms, two smaller rooms and a small bathroom and is generally freezing in winter! It’s certainly a modern enough boiler to have an automatic pilot light. I have noticed that the radiators have TRVs, all t...

CHVAC and mould and mildew

I live in a rented property and have recently become aware of black spots possibly of mildew appearing inside the house on the external walls and there has always been black mould around a window where the double glazing unit has blown, meaning that there is condensation between the panes.
