Leak in garage downstairs

fafner

Hi all,

I own a leasehold flat that's built on top of a garage block consisting of 4 garages.
Today I discovered that there is a massive leak coming from one of the garages - water coming from under its door, leaking on the forecourt in front and then seeping in the ground through...

Couldn't be that someone drove his car into the waste pipe, could it?

You need to read your lease, as the responsibilities for repair and rights of access will be detailed there.

If the leaking pipe only serves your flat, it would normally be the case that you were responsible for repairing it.

Any recommendations for office chairs?

Lots on

I rent a flat out to new students and the office chairs ( which were there when I acquired the flat) need replacing as they are old. Can anyone recommend a good brand/ model? I was going to go with John Lewis but they have a 6 week wait. Thank you.

Thats a problem... I have a Herman Miller Mira that I love, and sometimes use for 10+ hours a day. Best chair ever. The other half cant stand it, even when adjusted it makes her uncomfortable fairly quickly.

IKEA chairs are great, lots of choice for sensible money.
We...

IKEA. I was looking at buying myself an expensive office chair, found the John Lewis ones didnt suit me so went to IKEA to try one I'd seen recommended as almost as good but a lot cheaper and actually ended up with an even cheaper one that seemed more comfortable to me.

If they want a gaming...

Thanks Sam. I’d like to get something which is decent though as the students can be sat at those chairs for hours and I like to think the chair won’t cause discomfort or musculoskeletal problems.

Saw the title and headed in to recommend a Steelcase leap.. Then saw its for student flats.
Get something cheap with a warranty of some sorts, budget on replacing them annually. At change over give it a go with a decent carpet cleaner/VAX if no rips.. If any damage then its replacement time....

Paint won't stick to plasterboard joints

JK0

Re-decorating a new flat for the first time is proving difficult:

The old emulsion is 'rolling up' on my roller when I find a plasterboard joint. I then have to stop work, and try to fill the jagged hole with filler, and delay finishing a further day. My uncle suggested painting the whole...

Strip back, seize the boards, paper, paint.

Big job, but at least from the look of things you'll have no problem stripping the old stuff off.
