Thank you very, very, very much for this... I have concluded, I think, that the floorboards are too knackered to be able to do the repairs myself...

Thanks for this. A man came about a quote yesterday - I think I'm reaching the conclusion that the state of the boards means that it would be very difficult to do myself. His initial quote was about £2K but he'll need to put the numbers together properly, so it may be more than this. However, he sa...

Central heating: funny noises in the rain

Hello there The flue of my new gas condensing combi boiler makes noises in therain; it sounds like rain is getting in. At the same time, I noticed today that water was gurgling up through the sink plug hole (I'm assuming the two things were related - it may simply have been that the drains were bein...

Wet rot - best way to treat?

I've found wet rot in my bathroom floorboards.
