We have a problem with loads of slugs and occasional rats coming in under our kitchen cupboards. Removed the kickboard to investigate and it's a bit of a mess with a large gap beneath the plaster and floor, so this must be where pests are coming in. Wondering how best to fill the gap. Was going...

Hi all. Have an LG Intellowave microwave. Used in a steamy kitchen, and it made a worrying crackling sound. It is now going on fine and turntable turning, but not heating anything. Any idea if it can be fixed please? Has been great and perfectly fits the space so would like to fix if possible...

Hi all Just booked a Siemens engineer visit for 17th but was warned that call out and parts likely to be in the region of £250-£280. Dishwasher is 15 years old, so probably not worth repairing at that price, but I hate throwing stuff away that can be fixed. Can anyone give me any ideas of what...

Hi all Wondering if this paint is durable enough for interior woodwork areas that take a lot of wear and tear, like bannisters and front doors? I’m a bit surprised that it is used for both woodwork and walls! In the past I used Dulux Trade Diamond Satinwood, but I’ve been impressed with other...

Hi all We are having our loft converted and wondered which windows/doors to go for in dormer. We had planned double doors and juliet balcony but one builder said these would leak water and recommended against. There is also a safety issue with children. I have heard that you can buy full...

We have rain coming through our roof which started when next door converted their loft and built a dormer window. As you can see in photo, neighbour's dormer comes over the boundary so the join of dormer and roof is on our side. We mentioned it to our neighbour who thinks its just down to...
