Hi all My extension ceiling has been leaking for a year. The flat roof has been recently fixed (new felt). A part of the ceiling is moldy. An area of about 2 meter x 0.2 meter is moldy. It is right at the middle of the ceiling where is lowest point. I don't know whether this affects the other...

I won't know whether or not the leak is on something he touched before I have to make a decision to get him to come back or not. If I decide to get him back, it will be a long hard battle again. Last time, it took 3 months + a theatening letter. If he found out the leak is not costed by him, he...

the installer installed the whole new system, this includes radiator, boiler and some pipe work. Some pipe work cannot be reached (under wood floor etc )and these are not replaced. The old system is a back boiler and new system is combi boiler. I GUESS the new system is presurised because when...

We have a new heating system installed in July 2013. The boiler is a combit Vallient. Since then, the water pressure keeps dropping. We have to add water into system in various time intervals, ranging from 5 days to 2 months. I heard this type of problem is probably because there is a leak...

Good idea. I have some plasterboards. I can cut the plasterboard as you mentioned and hold it up with a piece of wood. or just stand there and hold the tiles until it set, with a heated fan and hope I would be there for only one hour... lol

Despite my best afford, it doesn't come out.

I put a layer of sealant on plasterboard then stick the tile with tile adhesive. The tiles seem to have stayed on. I will give a pull and see if the tile comes off...

The problem is the window is round! I don't have tools to make a round timber frame.

Hi I'm going to tile a window. My question is how do I tile the upper part of the window and prevent the tile slipping down? Upper part is the vertical part, not the part facing downward. Adding to the challenge is that the window's upper part is round.

I have cleared the wet plaster, leave it to fry with heater fan. Then plaster board it. Then use a few tube of bathroom sealent and spread a thin layer on the plaster board for the shower area. Now I have put tile on. I hope that the tiles won't fall off with the sealent. I will put a lot of...

Hi all I recently removed some tiles in my bathrooom, and found a hugh patch of paster underneath is wet. This is the area near the shower. I guess it is because the water go through the gaps of the tiles and went underneath. The colour of the wet patch is dark orange and some of it is loose...

Ok, I have used carrying oit (for massage usually). The cooker hood gains its shine after application. I will see how long it last. I heard someone said use car wax. If oil failed I will try car wax and see how long it will last.

Hi all I have a serious rust problem with my stainless steel cooker hood. Around 90% of my cooker hood surface is stainless steel. At first, about half of the cooker hood becomes rusty, because of the wrong cleaning product. I then cleaned the rust a few times, but the rust still came...

Just to finish off the story. My hubby had been calling to ask the engineer to come back to fix the problem for over 2 months with no luck. In earlier Dec, we decided we have to do it the hard way. I then write a letter according to the trading standard advice. The engineer finally came to us...

The current fan is linked to the light switch, so yes, it is switch on during usage. There is no heater in the bathroom. bathroom is fully tiled. The fan locates just next to the shower area. It's a tiny bathroom 2x2meter. No window. I have given some thoughts about this. What if I buy a...
