  1. Looking for recommendations for a roofer to repoint ridge tiles in S6, on standard semi.
  2. I am also looking for a company to lay new Tarmac on an existing path in south Sheffield. Can anybody recommend suitable companies please?

  5. We have done the first pass at mobile friendly - taken 8 months to get it to a suitable standard to make live, and it still needs more work. We are going to do another new site shortly www.waleslodges.uk
  6. I am having cavity wall insulation installed by British Gas in less than 2 weeks time. My house was built in 1943. BG intend to install blown mineral wool insulation into the cavity. When I bought the house there was a rising damp problem in one room, and it was discovered that the cavity was filled with sand/rubble bridging the DPC. The ground level outside just here is quite high also, being 1 brick below DPC(not practical to lower). The cavity was opened up and cleared out over a year ago and the damp problem went away, and has stayed away. As agreed with BG, in preparation I have been removing air bricks, so the same ones can be put back(rather than plastic ones). I have noticed that for several of the air bricks, in the area where there was internal rising damp previously, the inside surface of the outer wall is damp(ie inside the cavity), If I put my hand inside the cavity and rub the wall it comes out fairly wet(a couple of places very wet). I suspect its condensation, as the outside wall itself is in good condition. The internal wall looks dry above the DPC(inside the cavity). The bottom of the cavity(inside) is also damp, ie in the footings, but I guess this is to be expected. My concern is that the mineral wool cavity wall insulation will either wick water up from the footings, or cause water to track across from the outer leaf to the inner leaf, and cause a damp problem again. Is it a good idea to continue and have the cavity wall insulation installed? Does anybody have any experience of this? Any advice will be welcome.
  7. Can anybody recommend somebody to repair a uPVC door locking mechanism?
  8. I hired ZAK to do this job. His communication was excellent, turned up on time and did a great job, plus cleaned up and took all the rubbish away. Highly recommended. ps - lesson learned here - hire a proper roofer for a roofing job!!!
  9. Contacted them, came to view, promised to quote and then didn't bother, and also didn't bother to let me know they weren't quoting so wasted 10 days when I could have been talking to a more reliable company.
