Here are some of the problems which come with having leaking gutter joints.

1. Water damage: Leaking gutter joints can lead to water damage in the roof and walls of the building. This can cause rot, mold, and mildew growth, as well as structural damage.

2. Foundation damage: Leaking water can seep into the foundation of the building, causing erosion and cracking of the foundation. This can result in costly repairs.

3. Soil erosion: If the water from the leaking gutter joint is not properly directed away from the foundation, it can cause soil erosion, leading to costly repairs.

4. Insect infestation: Leaking water can attract insects, such as mosquitoes and other pests.

5. Rust: If the gutter is made of metal, the water can cause rusting, which can weaken the structure of the gutter and lead to expensive repairs.

Roger looks at a problem with a balcony floor leaking.

Our message from Juhad Ali:

Hi, firstly thank you, I really appreciate your advice from previous videos on Dry rods, tanking etc.

Need some advice on external porcelain tiles, please. Unfortunately, due to poor workmanship, our balcony floor is leaking between the porcelain tiles (see photo).

Rainwater is getting through into the room below. I can share more photos if required.

Looking for a method to completely water-tight and seal the gaps between the porcelain tiles.

The current brush-in grout is not working. Should I be using a better sealant or grout?

Also need some guidance on ‘rocking’ tiles, considering using PU foam to fill gaps. Is that ok?

A hipped roof is sloped on all four sides, while other roofs may only have two sides that slope.

A hipped roof is more stable against wind and snow, and is aesthetically pleasing.

The sides of a hipped roof are usually at the same angle but can also be varied for a more unique look.

Why Has This Lintel Cracked?

Roger looks at a problem with a concrete lintel.

Here’s the message from Ryan:

Hi, so about 6 months ago, I had this arch open extended.

For the last three months, the lintel below the wall has been cracking.

The wall on the left has not cracked at all.

The wall that is cracking is on the side of the house against a main road.

I wondered if this is a problem, if this lintel must be replaced or if it can be repaired with something like a helical bar or studs through the lintel into the wall above it.

Thanks,

Ryan

Blueprint for Truly Affordable Homes Could Slash 1.2 Million Council Waiting Lists

Blueprint for Truly Affordable Homes Could Slash 1.2 Million Council Waiting Lists
  • New generation of Public Rental Homes (PRH) needed to match the needs and pockets of 1.2 million households on waiting lists.
  • New Public/Private partnership model for half-market rent homes designed for local needs, built by private developers.
  • Site-by-site appraisals rather than top-down planning targets form the bedrock of local PRH programmes.

The Housing Finance Institute (HFI) and Localis published a 30-page blueprint designed to stimulate a new generation of council homes.

‘Public Rental Homes – fresh perspectives’ provides a solution to the challenge that just 6,000 of the 52,000 new homes listed as ‘affordable’ in 2020/21 by local councils were truly affordable by 1.2 million households on waiting lists.

Local authorities would have the opportunity to develop plans to slash council waiting lists and galvanise local housebuilding by partnering with private developers to build homes by adopting this new-generation PRH model, that flips the traditional approach to negotiations on ‘affordable’ provision.

Currently councils negotiate with developers to determine the percentage of affordable homes a scheme can provide, based on the total private unit sales. ‘Affordable’ rents can vary from 50% of local market rents up to 90%.

Subsidised sales are included in the percentages. The PRH model flips the question to ‘what percentage of private homes are needed to produce sufficient PRH homes?

Under the PRH model – which deals in ‘bottom up’ plans, not top-down targets – local authorities would be responsible for identifying sites that might meet PRH criteria and initiate a discussion with developers.

For their part, developers would assume 100% of the risk and a 20% margin on both the PRH homes as well as their own private units.

Report author, Peter Bill, said: “Families on council waiting lists are squeezed to the bottom of pile by financial pressures on councils and developers trying to agree on the percentage of affordable homes. A new perspective is needed to ensure the needs of these families become the top priority on sites where PRH is viable.

“The PRH approach addresses that need and provides fresh impetus to councils looking to house those on their waiting list and to developers looking for better, simpler, ways to build.  Site-by-site viability is the key. Developers take 100% of the risk and therefore deserve a 20% profit margin.”

Co-author, Jackie Sadek, said: “We need to get on and deliver. Stop arguing about the whys and the wherefores. Delivery only happens on the ground, not from Whitehall.

Let’s try to crack this massive crisis, not top down, but bottom up. Every council should be supported in drawing up a 10-year Plan to deliver Public Rental Homes.”

Chair of The Housing and Finance Institute Board, Sir Steve Bullock, said: “Thousands of families and individuals, both young and old, are caught in the trap of being unable to afford to buy or rent privately but finding no alternative that they can possibly afford either.

More people are falling into this trap each month yet the supply of new affordable homes is actually diminishing.

“The impact of the cost-of-living crisis makes finding a response ever more urgent and the HFI has commissioned this research to offer a way forward that can attract support on a cross-party basis.

“Putting the emphasis on building new social homes has the potential to be a win–win with homeless people having a better chance of moving to decent properties that they can afford and make into homes while the economic impact of the construction will have wider benefits.

“Doing this at pace will need a different mindset at all levels of government and the HFI will press for that and work with councils, government and developers in the coming weeks to make this happen.”

3 Common Problems With Acoustic Hangers

3 Common Problems With Acoustic Hangers

Mechanical and electrical equipment can generate a lot of vibration and noise, so having effective isolators in place is essential. Acoustic hangers are a standard solution, but they often don’t perform in the way intended, leaving you scratching your head when noise problems persist. To help you out of this dilemma, Jordi Femenia, sales manager and engineer at vibration control specialist Mason UK, outlines three of the most common problems with acoustic hangers.

Acoustic Hangers

Spring hangers are used to isolate low-frequency noise from sources such as footfalls and mechanical vibration.

However, a non-specialist would fail to spot a poorly designed hanger or might match a good hanger to the wrong application.

With that in mind, here are some common problems to watch out for.

Insufficient misalignment capability

A properly engineered acoustic hanger should allow for approximately 30 degrees of sway in the drop rod.

As you can see in the image here, without that misalignment capability, you risk the rod making contact with the bracket and creating an acoustic bridge.

This is a must for mechanical and electrical services, where it is commonly the case that the drop rod is not in the centre.

Lack of deflection

People sometimes mistakenly think that having a very strong spring will deliver a better performance.

The opposite is the case. It would be a bit like replacing the shock absorbers on a Ford Fiesta with those that are designed for a Land Rover.

Let’s say you select a spring that can handle 100kg, but in your application, the actual load will only be 20kg.

A novice might think that by over-engineering, you guarantee a result when you are in fact making things worse.

If the spring is too strong you get no deflection. If you have no deflection, then you have no isolation.

Incorrect slenderness ratio

In architecture, the slenderness ratio refers to the ratio between the height and width of the building.

In structural engineering, it is used to calculate the propensity of a column to buckle.

When we are talking about acoustic hangers, slenderness refers to the ratio between the height and diameter of the coil.

If this is too high, then the spring is unstable and will potentially deform. It is therefore essential that the springs have the correct geometry.

A properly designed acoustic hanger will have design features that serve a purpose. For example, you might notice that Mason’s hangers look quite chunky.

This is to provide an effective misalignment capability and the correct slenderness ratio. Once you have a good hanger, you also need to match it to the application correctly.

Even a well-designed hanger will fail to isolate correctly if there is a lack of deflection, so a responsible manufacturer or installer should be aware of this factor, too and not simply sell a hanger without paying attention to the load it will bear.

Watching out for these three common problems should improve your chances of achieving the right isolation for mechanical and electrical equipment, but if you are in doubt, contact a specialist.

Love watching your channel. We are just renovating our bathroom.

We’ve been removing as much as we can, but this morning I noticed a leak coming through the kitchen ceiling.

Now, the bathroom sink was used and I think I found the issue. Looks like a fractured waste pipe.

The house is circa 1997/1998 and the plastic pipes feel very degraded.

Should I work on the basis that all plastic waste pipes should be replaced to prevent future issues like this?
