Might not be the right place for advice... We had our bathroom tiled recently and there's grout between the top tile and the ceiling, but either the ceiling isn't 100% even or the tiles are not all 100% level so in some places there's more grout visible than others... I had a family member...

Yeah, Its only got to last 6 months or so until we get the whole thing replaced so Im siliconing it now and will look at something to cover it to make it look neater - but honestly its the kids bathroom (no one else in the house uses it) so Im not too bothered about the look just wanted the best...

Right, Bath panels not coming off, dont know why but its made from a sheet of thick plastic (5mm+) which looks to have been put in before the tiles were put on the wall, so to get it out means breaking it... or taking the tiles off both of which are more work than I was planning for this...

Hi, We moved into a relativly new build (2006) house in september and have noticed that it seems to loose heat very quickly when the heating goes off. I have a bad feeling that the cavity wall insulation has not been installed and need a way to be able to tell (without removing bricks!)...

Thanks for the reply! I have uploaded pictures of the boiler, user manual, Thermostat, and a few other bits and pieces. In response to your questions: I only saw one tank in the loft (however I wasnt up there looking for them it was an unrelated job, so maybe I missed one) As for...

Morning all, I have a bit of an issue which Im hoping some one can help with. We have just moved into a new house (Built around 2006) it has (From what I have seen in the loft and read online) an open vented system. There is a water tank in the loft, hot water tank below on the 1st...
