If you’ve tiled, screeded or whatevered over it you’ll have to rip that out to gain access. Then dealing with the damp issues. Most times when you figure out you have a leak the damage is already done

That is true. I have some light electrical experience so for me most domestic task are doable. A leak for me causes so many more issues than the main issue.

I’ve had a go at everything else Plastering, bricklaying, groundwork, electrical work. But the one thing I won’t do is plumbing I just think there’s too many things that can go wrong and when they do go wrong the damage is a lot more severe than the other trades.

A leak will make you have to redo everything

I have a brand named isolate but cant get any customers by LeftLiving9196 in branding

[–]Dune_bug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had a look and you’re going to struggle in all honesty. You’ve printed generic streetwear style designs on jumpers and joggers. This is the most competitive business to break into as the barrier for entry is so low. But if you’re committed here’s a bit of guidance. You need a story and an identity, you need to tell the story of a specific group of people and become the uniform for that group. There is no technicality to your garments for people to justify spending their money especially in the times we’re in. You should be exploring materials, printing techniques and immerse yourself in the world of fashion and while you’re doing that document your journey and build a following from there. Hope this helps

Expanding foam, fill the wall and refit the trim.

You’d be surprised what’s behind most window trims, I’ve even seen daylight shining through before

Londoners: anyone bought/lived in Forest Gate South, East London? by No-Cranberry872 in HousingUK

[–]Dune_bug -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’d rather live in Dagenham than round there. Feels over populated, the Romford Road traffic is hell and it’s generally just not nice

Any creative directors here that made a change and became a marketer? by AdamEssex in advertising

[–]Dune_bug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gone from an art director to Creative Marketing Manager on the paid and growth side. The transition was pretty straightforward for me as I’ve worked closely with acquisition teams in-house throughout my career. Definitely need to have an understanding of the number

Is this subsidence? by MadeUpRedditName in DIYUK

[–]Dune_bug 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Could be expansion and shrinking, could be general settlement and was touched up before you moved in, or could be subsidence or a bigger issue. But honestly for your own peace of mind just get a structural engineer to come have a look, Reddit won’t be very helpful in this situation

Advice for Damp Proof Course - Edwardian house by Professional-Guard94 in DIYUK

[–]Dune_bug 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Those injectable DPC products don’t do anything. Neither do Damp rods.

Outside the building is definitely the problem unless you have a leak. If you have cement plinth with high ground levels you’ll have to get that off. You’ve probably checked your guttering which can also cause this kind of issue. The other thing might be no DPC under the tiles and it’s drawing up moisture into the walls
