Our roofers left a few dried cement patches on our resin driveway. Do you know the best thing to remove them, have heard you have to be careful what you use on resin driveways. Your help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

We have damp patches in the corner of bedroom half way down to floor - not sure it it’s a brickwork issue or guttering/roof

I need a builder to come round and tell me what is causing the damp wall in my living room that has suddenly appeared. There are no pipes in this part of the house, so it wouldn't be a plumber. I don't know what the problem is until someone comes out to inspect it, but I am being asked for more information on the job. How do I sort this please?

Hi we're looking to buy a house in Shirley/West Wickham (CR0) and just want a tradesperson to come too as an objective third party on the work required. Does anyone have any recommendations who would be willing to help. We are happy to compensate for their services

We live in a terrace of 5 houses, houses 1, 3 and 5 have their roof going from the left wall to the right pitching in the middle, houses 2 and 4 has the roof going front to back. For the roofs to meet at the top of houses 2 and 4 they go past the wall of the house and match up to the pitch of houses 1, 3 and 5. My question is, if there was any damage past my wall of the house on the roof who would take care of this as it is past my boundary? Plus the roof is covering thier property. Hope that makes sense, thank you

It appears my crawlspace was enclosed with plywood that did not withstand the weather. I need to remove approx 2 feet down of rotted wood and i wanted to reframe it with ground contact pressure treated wood & then white PVC board. I have someone willing to assist me with the job & i just had the following questions Should the PVC board go across the brick piers or just frame the area in between? Does that matter? What should be used to finish off the ends of the PVC to prevent water from seeping? Does the PVC sit on the dirt too next to the wood or does it sit above? This is an unconditioned crawlspace. Is it okay if i insulate behind the boards being replaced in addition to under the floor joists ? I plan to put a caper barrier down next year
