Standard of Pointing

I am no expert (obviously!) but I have had some pointing done on the end of my house and I'm not convinced it has been done to a suitable standard. Could anyone look at these photos and express an opinion to the quality of the work? It is only the lower part of the wall. m[1].jpg m[2].jpg Thanks in ...

Removing Wet Cavity Wall Insulation

I have a 1930s end terrace house that is suffering from damp on the end wall. Although I didn't know that the place had CWI, a couple of years ago I was told by a builder who was installing air bricks that it had CWI which was wet. It is my guess that the CWI was installed around 20 years ago. Didn'...

Hi - What is this pipe???

All drainage from our house ends up in a single sewer, irrespective of source. There is what appears to be a soil pipe (shown in solid black below) outside my kitchen, which has no connections above ground at all. I can not see that it is serving any purpose (other than getting in the way of my new ...

Conservatory in awkward area

My kitchen is part of an annex which takes up 70% of the width of our property. My neighbours property has a similar layout which means we both have a (approx) 1.8m alley between our kitchens and the relevant neighbour. I want to build a conservatory-type extension to my kitchen in this area, occupy...
