So we've decided to replace our ailing lawn with Astro turf and would be grateful for any recommendations for installers in the Leeds, Bradford area. It's not a large lawn, I'd estimate about 20 feet length semicircle shape widest width about 10 feet. Next door neighbour had it done and they are...

So just after Christmas I noticed our drain gully was backing up so I called a company out, and long story short, they were blocked due to being in a bad state, roots, cracked, pushed slightly out of line....etc The camera they sent down verified this, but when the guys arrived they noticed...

We have an Indian stone patio that is a pale grey colour and wondering if there is a stain type of product so we can re colour it into more of a buff, Yorkshire stone shade... I know it's unlikely, but thought I'd ask before thinking about having it redone... Thanks

I think this is quite a regular topic on here, but thought I'd post anyway. So we had this boiler fitted about a year ago. Had its first service a couple of months ago & in the last month or so, it has started making an intermittent buzzing noise which seems to resonate through the Rads. This...

We've just had a new heating system put in which has left some spaces in our porch floor tiles where the old boiler came out, plus the tiles are looking a bit tired now, so I want to lay some more down. The original tiles were laid over a solid concrete floor & there's enough height to lay new...

I've just been checking out the Guttermate water diverter kit & noticed on Amazon that there is a Guttermate diverter/filter kit for £20 & a Sankey Guttermate kit which looks the same for around £7. I'm suspecting that the Sankey is a cheaper made variant. Just thought I'd check before buying...

We have some plants that prefer natural rain water, so with this in mind, we are thinking of piping our gutter fall pipe to a water butt. The only potential problem here is that we get quite a lot of moss on our roof, some of which gathers in our drain. Would this moss contaminate the water in...

I have a Panasonic TX 32LXD85 TV & intended buying a Yamaha YAS 93 Soundbar. A friend has one with his LG TV & he says that I need to have an optical input for the soundbar. I can't seem to locate one on my TV so I'm wondering if it will be incompatible ?

A couple of our fence posts are wobbly, basically the post bottoms have rotted within their metal spikes. They were not concreted in. Is there a quick, easy fix for this without having to take the fence apart. I thought of maybe driving a repair spike in to secure the post. Can anyone...

When we get driving rain, water drips through to top of the patio doors where the frame meets the ceiling/return. When the weather is better, I'm going to re-silicone around the door frame, but is there some sort of strip I can fit on the lintel outside to deflect rain from dripping under the...

I'm looking for the most straight forward way of preparing an 8x6 shed base & I noticed these & wondered what you thought of the idea, as compared to the old way.....paved etc

We're getting an 8x6 shed soon & I'm in the process of leveling the ground ready for it. Has anyone got suggestions for preparing the ground? Should I lay paving, or a wood frame ? Also the site is at the bottom of an incline, so is there anything I should do with this in mind...drainage...

Were due to have the porch taken down, but the inside walls were painted with masonary paint & I want to remove this so we're not left with a beige patch on the house wall. Can anyone recommend a product for doing this without damaging/discoloring the stone.

We've had a wall mounted spotlight fitted in our attic WC for 10 years or so & in the last weeks, whenever we try to switch it on, a burning smell starts, then the bulb flickers with a popping sound, then goes out. I was going to replace and fit another wall light, but wanted to check if it was...

My Daughter & her Husband were recently married & have just moved into their first rented house. Whilst the house & area are perfectly acceptable, they have inherited a number of issues from the former tenant, mainly a very overgrown garden..High hedges & trees very close to the house. Also...

Our neighbour has 2 Monkey Puzzle trees & they are now around 30ft tall & about 20ft apart. They don't like the trees, but feel the cost of chopping them down will be prohibitive. I have offered to get up the ladder & do the chopping while they clear up on the ground. I plan on working up the...

I have an over-sink Triton Handwash & when switched on, water floods out. Not from the pressure relief outlet pipe, but from within the unit casing. I've taken it apart & looked for any problems, but nothing obvious stands out. Any help/advice much appreciated folks

The motor in my Black & Decker Garden vac / blower has just burned out. It did get lots of use such as clearing leaves & blowing clear the lawn & surrounding area after mowing. My only gripe with the B&D is the seal on the bag. It seemed to let out lots of dust & leaves. I'm looking to get...

I've been having problems with a slow PC. Also the desktop ikons flickering & not opening up when clicked on. I have just un-installed Mozila Firefox & things now ok. Also everything working faster. Can Mozila cause problems ? I did hear something about Mozila & Avast not working well...
