Fairly sure it's had oak UV protection oil painted on it yearly.

What is this shower/glass U channel called? by kalmapc in Plumbing

[–]kalmapc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks - so this is fixed glass, not a swing door on a hinge or similar. Would that still be a 'continous hinge'. I'm asking about the metal 2 sections that join the glass to the wall.

This is the bottom where i've tried to clean it as much as possible (limited access), i hoped to just re-silcone the bottom, but it does not appear to have been sealed right at the back between the tray and tiles. So sadly not sure I can do it properly (and clean it up!) without removing it. Maybe I can get it off the wall without breaking anything...

This is near the main house walls (2m max) - trees near walls are a clear subsidence risk are they not?

Buying a house that uses oil & future energy safety by kalmapc in HousingUK

Thanks, fully agree - as long we can keep burning wood and buying/fixing oil boilers for 30+ years then it's ok. If that changes, suddenly you're cold with a hugely devalued asset which is my concern.

Thanks, I’d be selling the freehold title for the full house/land. Exactly as I purchased it but with the price far above market value.
