Hi folks, I have issues with a leaky pipe under my kitchen sink. The leak started when we had sub-zero temps a couple of months back. I managed to identify the bit of pipe in question as being the bit which leads out through the wall to the outside tap. I turned the valve(?) off and that...

Hello awesome peeps, I'm just looking for a quick bit of wiring advice. I'm in the process of replacing a bathroom extractor fan with a different model, and I'm not quite sure how to wire it up (the manual it came with didn't have anything useful in this respect) Below is a picture of the two...

Hi folks, The extractor fan for my en-suite has died, which has surprised me a touch, as the property was a new build when I moved in about three and a half years ago, and it's not had nearly as much use as the extractor fan above the main bathroom. The fan is situated in the loft above the...

Hi folks, A few weeks ago I turned on my outside tap and no water came out. It'd always worked fine, no problems ever, and had last been used a couple of days previously. As there was snow on the ground, I presumed it was just frozen. A couple of days after the weather had warmed up a good bit...

Hi guys, My gf's ordered a greenhouse online and is now bugging me to sort out a base for it so she can have it delivered and grow...... whatever grows over winter LOL. She's also insisiting that a path must go to the greenhouse. She's planning on having some fancy slabs delivered and wants me...

Hi all, House been on market for a couple of weeks, a few viewers, but no offers. We're a bit disappointed, at it's in good nick, great location, well-marketed and at a sensible price. The only slightly negative feedback we've received is that the upstairs/bedrooms are quite small. This is...

Hi guys, In short, I want to have SKY in more than one room. The full story is longer, but I'll keep it to the facts so that it doesn't get too complicated! Some years ago, at a previous address, I had bog-standard SKY in my living room (downstairs) and then I upgraded to SKY+. When I...

Hi all, I'm doing up my house to sell it, and after standing on the work surface by the kitchen sink while painting, I noticed that water had started to seep out of the tap (somewhere in the inside) I took a look under the sink, and noticed that one of the flexi tap connectors was only just...

Hi everyone, I've bought an expensive shelf online from the U.S. and it's actually bulkier than I expected. It's about 960mm long, weighs about 10kg, and the wall I'm looking to fit it to is a standard plasterboard one. The shelf didn't come with fittings, just two holes, 760mm apart...

Hi guys. Looks like I'll be getting a combi fitted shortly to replace my 35 year old boiler. I've been advised on some quotes that I need to have the system power-flushed (if that was the right phrase) but other plumbers just said that as long as they put in the magnetic filter thing to catch...

Hi guys, I have an old gas boiler (about 35 years old) and I appear to be having some issues with the pilot light going out on me. I've re-lit it, and sat and looked at it for 5 minutes and it's stayed on quite happily. However, as soon as I turn the heating controls to "on" the pilot...
