Hi, When I try to use our appliance, there's a loud sort of 'ill' noise which appears to be coming from the drain pump. I've had a look and I can get to the drain pump, but I can't get it out to have a look at what may be caught in it. There is one hose which I can remove, but the front...

Hi, I have a worcester 24CDi combi boiler and I need to get a new micro switch for the water diverter valve as a piece of the plastic casing has snapped off. Trouble is - I'm being told that the only way to get the micro switch assembly is to buy a whole new water diverter valve! I...

Hi, I'm not exactly an expert, but I'm about to undertake the same work. Personally, I'm planning on attacking it like this. I'm going to prepare the walls and tile the area behind the sink and the toilet. Then I'm going to fit the bath, toilet and sink. Next, I've found some...

Hi, I'm currently rennovating a first floor flat with a view to selling it on and making oodles of cash (?!?!?!??!?!??). I'm trying to decide on a flooring. It used to be covered with underlay and hessian backed carpet. This has been taken up and has revealed that the floor is actually...

Thanks for that, Chappers!

Hi, Sorry if this is the wrong forum - wasn't sure where a Kitchen / Building Regs question should go! I've just bought a property where the kitchen extractor fan is in the middle of the ceiling. It's near the hob, but it's not an extractor hood. I'm looking to do-up the place and then...
