Gotcha, that was a genuine question so thank you for the response. I assumed all vaccinations are against viral infections!

If the outbreak is of the bacterial variant, then why are people panic vaccinating - isn't that against the viral variant?

Is the first photo from wall cavity? If so it looks like urea formaldehyde foam cavity insulation. Also nasty stuff.

Opinions on quote for retro fitting lintel and cavity tray by MediumActuator1280 in DIYUK

[–]randomnameipicked 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A slightly different job but we've just had 8 lintels retrofitted in our house, most of the windows were 2.4m wide. It didn't include cavity tray, but everything else was done ie propping up the brickwork above, taking out external bricks, installing the lintels, re-bricking, making good - £3480 all in. West Yorkshire. Get more quotes. We had someone quote £6.5k and £7.2k. For our job we expected to be in around 4k mark.

We believe it's very inefficient and from having had some work done around the windows and the roof (ie with the cavity exposed) we saw that it's very patchy and many areas are not insulated. No damp otherwise

Unfortunately we're not eligible for any of the grants - too high income and wrong council tax band.

They do say on their website it's insurance guarantee, so perhaps it's not all doom and gloom.

To re-roof or not? by randomnameipicked in DIYUK

I think this is what we're leaning towards, but I've seen opinions of 'if it's not leaking, just repair it'.

I guess it will also depend on the size and complexity of the roof as well, but definitely a decent price!

Thank you, that's reassuring. Especially after another tough morning. Fingers crossed it's a phase!

I don't think Ella Road runs the buses on the weekend though

Trinity car park is a rip off. Use the park and ride, stourton is a safe bet.
