Hi My dad has a karcher pressure washer that has previously worked but every time he now tries, when he pushes the hose into the connector he can hear it click in, but when the water/pressure is turned on, it comes off. I've read posts online about this being a common issue and the clip can...

@dilalio when i do that, the shower ceiling pipe seems to still be not the force that it used to be Hence why it feels like it's a blockage on the actual divertor but doesnt really make sense as it makes no if i change the setting from riser to ceiling. So the box / pipes can't have a filter...

Thank you @muggles . Ive tried that, and it's the same I.e. good power to the riser, and the ceiling shower head is simply a trickle I didn't state clearly in my previous post that water does come out of the ceiling head but it is very weak. Nothing like it was when it was installed hence why...

Hi I have an aqualisa quartz digital concealed shower, with 2 shower heads. One riser and one ceiling mounted. The riser works but the ceiling mounted one doesn't. I read online that it could be the water inlet filter to the ceiling head and to check that. The pump/ etc has two black boxes...

thank you. I'll make sure they check the bitumen floor too. house is 1965 build so you could be right. The flooring company havent raised it as an issue though. or could we use F77 on the bitumen floor too to save any problems?

The old floor is fine. It's just the new floor that is showing the higher moisture level

Reading up on stopgap looks like it could be what I need. .. Any difference between stopgap 77 and 78 ?? and the wood floor company were wanting to glue the floor direct onto the solid floor? Could they do this directly onto the stopgap covered screed or is further moisture barrier underlay...

i was also expecting the damp proof membrane to come up to the damp proof course but never saw that and there is definitely nothing sticking up at the sides of the new screed. is this a problem? The Old floor is solid and has a deep black bitumen type layer on it. the screed has been levelled...

The floor is screed ( I believe it is 65mm thick) and was laid during the last week of June. We were told by our builder that our flooring could be installed after a 2 weeks which we questioned etc. Hes now left and not being helpful at all. From searching online weve seen allow 1mm per day...

Am wanting to get engineered wood installed in the ground floor rooms but the flooring company have said that around half of the floor area (different material than rest of house as was added as front extension) has a moisture content that is a bit too high for them to fit. The measurement...

Hi I've used "Evo-Stik Polyurethane Wood Adhesive 310ml" for wood fixing. I have a couple of finger print marks on the wood from where I was handling this during the work. Is there anything that would be able to be used to clean off the fingerprints??

Thank you for the reply. I had considered cutting the old newel post to continue the string but then because I wasnt sure if the old newel was still as supportive as it should be as the wood that used to support the dowels/string is all split and no longer there (as photo 2). I could fix the...

Hi I'm wanting to install a Richard Burbidge handrail, baserail, elements balusters and newel posts. All looks fairly straight forward apart from the bottom newel on the bullnose step. I've attached some photos to help explain. I'm thinking of routing out a part of the newel post to slot the...

Sorry. I guess they are bad photos. the string of the left side is cut so the top of it is missing. I.e. it doesnt go above floorboard level and hang on top. The right side string you may be able to see is higher than floorboard level and hangs on (although there appears to be a small gap...

Hi I'm doing some house renovation work and want to remove the existing blockwork landing banister for a similar designed Burbidge stair banister/spindles. I've drilled out and removed the old blockwork to open up the landing. Having done that I've noticed something a bit odd and wanted your...
