    I'd want to make sure it's not bad plumbing before resealing and hoping it stops. Best way I've found (from experience) is cutting a small hole it the ceiling where the mark is, see if you can see anything obvious, then running taps whilst observing to see if you can see any water dripping/increasing in the area above the ceiling.

    Thanks, that's really helpful. I'm looking at something fairly straightforward (he says) - a box off the back, and half the width second storey - very tight budget, so trying to keep it simple, but would definitely appreciate a personal touch...

    Anyone used Resi/Arkiplan or the like for their extension plans etc. Any positive experiences? Ta

    Now have cavity wall insulation, so hopefully mold issues shouldn't be an issue. I'm also installing an inline extractor fan which'll suck any excess moisture out no problem.

    I want a passive investment, that I can stick away cash for the long term and hope it makes a reasonable return.

    I've just read bad things about wealthify and their returns over the past few years, and seeing as I haven't lost money thought I'd change things up.

    I only mention vanguard as I know others have had a good experience with them and I don't know what I'm doing!

    Currently in the process of DIY'ing a bathroom renovation - FIL is a retired furniture maker and had some timber in his workshop going spare (Purple Heart) so decide to do a boxed window reveal...really happy with the result.

    Original plan was to tile half way, rendering and painting the top half. Now we're not sure/can't decide if what'll look best. Let's have some forum opinions to make the decision even harder!
