    Water tight external rendering options

    Water ingress only when sustained heavy rain driving into south facing wall. Believe it's getting through cracks in render and running down external surface of wall where it continues down past lintel support beam due to extension roof flashing installed short of wall and going through gap. What are my best options to stop this please ?

    cost of fitting a pressured-treated softwood decking in an area of roughly 15 square metres

    I would like to have pressured-treated softwood decking fitted in my back garden. I currently have a garden of 40 square metres and it is entirely covered by real grass with the exception of a small garden shed. We’d like to have the decking fitted just beyond the back door and covering an area of about 15 square metres. What total cost can I expect for this installation work from a professional decking fitter? That is between both labour and supply costs.
