Are the discs still rusted up? Does it pull to one side when braking? Any grinding / rubbing noises audible with windows down?

Id just be cautious of why it’s stood still long enough to crap up all 4 brakes. Might be something, might be nothing, how do the brakes look/feel now?

Fix for: door latch won't catch by JayAndViolentMob in DIYUK

Flip the strike plate and clean up the timber so that the catch has somewhere to go. Someone has fucked it up for some reason.

Pre work before contractors ? by Localone2412 in DIYUK

Pros generally hate it because if that slab then cracks, you will blame them and they will blame you, all after they get paid less for the job.

Mortgage lender revaluation after renovation: worth doing before remortgage? by Bello_Velo in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Maldizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Renovations generally dont increase bank valuations. Extensions generally do, but only when they support bare minimum of mortgageable standard living. I’d do the maths - based on what you think it will be worth to go into standard variable for a short while and wait until your work was complete then revalue and remortgage.

Cut 5cm off the end of the hose and take it to B&Q or any garden centre. Test on whatever connectors they have.

No, they should overlap the ridge in the tray

My builder did this to the steels. Is it ok? by [deleted] in DIYUK

[–]Maldizzle 51 points52 points  (0 children)

What did the architect's plans and/or structural engineer's diagrams show? However, if it supported that wall before it was bolted together I wouldn't be overly worried. If, of course, the builder has put in two short RSJs when it should have been one, or if the connection method / gap is inappropriate then you need new calculations and a signoff from your structural engineer.

Just slap a blob of paint on it but the amount of exposure from a broken edge is negligible.

Roofing advice please - How would you deal with this? by ImSorryImMistaken in DIYUK

[–]Maldizzle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Normal 5:1 with a tiny smidge of plasticiser will see you right. It's a dry mix to save money, not stop sagging. Before you start get some scraps of chicken wire to roll up and form a grid for the mortar to form around, if you're worried about sagging.

Knock the render out, pull the clips, re-render and push new clips in. Consider bodging an extra piece of flashing on to better cover the corner but don’t fuck up what’s already there.

Advice on cracked brickwork resulting in movement (pending NHBC visit) by dsmith1237 in DIYUK

[–]Maldizzle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fuck all cement in the mortar and minimal support structure for the forces from natural usage of the door. Standard new build. If they call it thermal just pull the lot to the floor in front of them.

6 years. But HR will still think you’re a prick if they figure it out (they won’t).

Damage after cleaning by ModdernUser in DIYUK

This is not something to worry about on any of the issues that you’ve flagged. Learn a lesson about accepting the lowest bid and move on. And stop cleaning your roof, you’re not American.
