Rendering internal walls ?, I was always under the impression that external walls were rendered, and internal walls were plastered, but perhaps i was mistaken. Anyway, if you do mean plaster, these links might provide some useful information...

I suggest that you try this, dust the area of the table around the fruit bowl with flour, that should show up the tracks of the culprit and give you a clue as to what might be causing the problem.

Oh I feel for you, I really do. Listen, I don't know anything about those lead loc thingys, the people who mentioned those are doubtless correct, but I was browsing in the local DIY store recently, Homebase I believe, anyway, I noticed that in their plumbing section they had a few kinds of...

Sorry chaps, I don't know where these things get sent to, and it was the heating engineer who told me about this procedure. What happened was, he took out the old unit, went to wherever it is that heating engineers go to buy their spares, and came back an hour later with a new, or presumably...

Yes, as fp said, you are supposed to seal the cut edges of worktops in order to prevent water absorbtion, beause if you don't the wood particals of which the board is made will eventually swell up and rot. What you usually seal them with is PVA woodworking adhesive, it's that white, water...

Well glasgowgas,......I said, " Because you have a combi boiler, you don't have a hot water tank, your cold water comes directly from the mains and it is at mains pressure and it feeds your cold taps directly and it also goes directly to your boiler, your boiler then heats the hot supply and...

OOPS, sorry, what a pilloch, I forgot to post the links, so here they are. The acrylic/fibreglass bath manufacturers. http://www.kellysearch.co.uk/gb-product-7071.html The London based fibreglass fabricators, but the couple that I looked at seemed pretty large scale, that Widnes link...

Building your own bath !, phew, who would have thought of it, you're my new hero, but if you go with the heavyweight solutions, I just hope that you have a strong floor, remember what happened to les Battersby in Coronation Street. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGqkRuphJ1k Here is a...

A bit late answering, but I've just joined, however, for future reference, why not try a high pressure washer. I have a fairly small pressure washer, we have some old red sandstone boulders in the garden, their original colour is a sort of fairly bright reddish pink, but these had been...

Try an air based unblocking tool. £24.93 plus £4.45 p & p This gadget works with toilets, baths, sinks, etcetera, you pump it up to pressurise it, release the trigger, and it fires a blast of compressed air down the pipe to clear the blockage. It is said to also have a cyclonic action...

Hi folks, Just thought I'd throw this in for future reference, it might come in useful to someone someday. You know the sort of fault I mean ?, the boiler is working, then it cuts out, so you switch it off, then later on you switch it on again, and it probably works OK, then it goes off...

Well,.....I sympathise with you, and isn't it always the case that a seemingly really simple problem can often cause so much hassle and annoyance, and even more so when an, " expert ", is involved. As far as your noise problem is concerned, there are usually two possible causes, air in the...

" the builder's plumber " !, oh dear, oh dear, let's hope not. Let's hope that was, the builders fully trained and qualified and registered heating engineer, who was also fully trained on that particular boiler, and who doesn't own a ten gallon hat, spurs, or a pair of six shooters. What I...
