  1. We thought it was blockwork because of the horizontal lines. That's the correct answer, give yourself a gold star and a Werthers Original. You just beat me to it......
  2. Yup. The second pic looks like someone’s poor attempt to relieve the trapped water. Looks like it’s just had a drill put through it. These drainage outlets need to be 40mm waste pipe minimum and be kept clear. Defo needs addressing properly but you’ll always have this runoff. Working out how far down you can make the holes would help, as the lower the better, if you can do fewer larger holes, but smaller ones (32mm or 40mm) would need to be high and low to cope.
  3. My apologies, I hadn’t noticed that Prob best to stop this before we get shouted at 👀
  4. He takes the biscuit. Does that count?
  5. Many heads always better than one, imho.
  6. My fear, as con’y roofs are open to atmosphere.
  7. House has prob been retrospectively blown in with beads on the external walls. Probably a cold room too, with that horizontal radiator …..
  8. That’s just a land drain which lets the water through the wall that would otherwise look to erode the wall or the ground under it, in order to escape. These usually just dribble down and a ditch / drain carries the rainwater away. Not sure you can easily / effectively connect a pipe to this as is. It would likely need a new piece of plastic drain pipe through that dwarf wall and for you to carry that on to the drain.
  9. Brand new cars are held together with double sided sticky tape.
  10. Nothing worse than someone trying to save money on their TV licence, and using your drive-thru to watch the end of Catchphrase! “Say what you see!” erm….. ”the ass end of next doors car”.
  11. These are often OEM in heat pumps etc. Always confused me as to how the automatic air got released sideways when the mechanism relies on a float / gravity.
  12. Yup, aka crude! At best.
  13. Where’s top of screed?
  14. As for the neighbour, maybe some driving lessons or a trip to Specsavers? ffs!?!🤦‍♂️
