terrace

Good morning, We have been struggling to rid our property of rodents who have managed to get into the cavity walls. We finally got rid of the decking and hoped that would solve it but they are still entering. We now are considering the possibility they are entering through an air brick under the...

Hi folks, We're in a middle terrace house and neighbours have some roofers - we share a natural stone roof - but I notice that their roofers are about to position bonding gutters (the tall ones) to partition our roofs - is this needed? They're also doing it on their other side, who also share...

I need advice for a solution for a totally botched job by some roofer cowboys. They said they would fix the issues with my terrace leaking by using liquid rubber. The fibreglass terrace floor was to be replaced by these guys. However instead of stripping off the previous floor and boards then...

I've had a complete reroof done (new membrane, same tiles, new guttering, a few rafters reinforced and a new render around chimneys). I did that as a preventative measure as the roof membrane was very old, but had no leaks. 3 months after the roof was done a serious leak developed on the top of...

Hi, I live in a mid terrace property. At some point the owners of the house next to us build a second story rear extension acoss the entire of their property (this was before we moved into our property). The extension is on what would have been the kitchen at the time and as a result their...

I am trying to ascertain thickness of the party walls. The house is a 1910 built Edwardian Terrace. The external walls are an early cavity type with brick walls inner and solid stone on the outside of the property. The only place I can examine the party wall brickwork is the loft and bathroom...

Hi I have a terraced house and the lintel above the front entrance door has cracked and dropped. I am struggling locally to get a replacement. I have been told I can have a cast done but it wouldnt be load bearing and would require a catnic lintel in first and then put the decorative cast on...

Hey guys, I have a mid terrace property and wanted a gas fire inset, I've heard conventional chimneys can increase radon levels and wondered if any solutions exist to convert a conventional chimney into a vertical balanced flu. In my head this sounds abit impossible/ impractical but wondered...

I live in a 1900s terraced style house, it is joined back to back as opposed to having neighbours either side, meaning it has two gable walls. The house is a peculiar shape and on the right hand side it widens towards the back, from a Birdseye view it forms a trapezium. The roof features Roman...

I am looking to repair the external architrave to my front door. Its my last attempt before ripping out and replacing with a composite (which I would really, rather not do) and im hoping that I can repair, rather than replace the architrave. I have my wet rott hardner and epoxy exterior wood...

Thank you in advance for any help. We bought a 1906 terraced house last year. There was a small amount of damp but the property had been empty for quite a while so we assumed it would dry out. Over the the winter, we used a dehumidifier and had the heating on and the walls dried out...

Hi all, I was hoping someone here may be able to shed some light on whether an inverted dormer could be installed under permitted development? I am not in a conservation area and a normal projecting dormer is ok under permitted development here (north east Somerset) but I have seen some...
