Hi, Recently the hot water from our back boiler has begun to heat up crazy hot. The hot water tank begins to vent after about 30 mins, the boiler doesn't shut off. Central heating is fine. When it first happened the pump began making some horrific grinding noises so I replaced that....but the...

Hi, I have a utility room.....3 externals walls which are a double row of brisks with cavity. It's got a flat ceiling which is a 4 inch thick block of concrete with steer rebar. Inside the utility room is a shower room, I want to get rid of the shower and move the wall over so it's just the...

The shower room isn't an original room, there are marks on the floor where a previous wall used to be but also above the ceiling there are marks on the underside of the concrete which seem to indicate that the original wall also went all the way up to the roof. THe concrete does have steel...

So, the surveyor just turned up and took some measurements. He said his office would email me some paperwork. Just had a read and it says they'll charge £100 plus £90 for the first hour. He was only here 10 mins. I don't think I want to see his report at that price will I still have to pay?

Hi, I have a utility room with 3 external walls. It has a flat concrete roof. Inside is a shower room that we want to remove but we're not sure if the wall is a supporting wall or not. The room is about 4 x 3m. Should I get a builder in to take a look or a surveyor?

So, I had a plasterer out to do the bathroom ceiling, he's left a 1cm gap between the edge of the plaster and the wall near the shower. I'm looing for some flexible coving to cover the gap as I'm not too confident I can fill the gap myself properly. Can anyone reccommend something I can use?

Hello, I have a used steel bath with no fixing kit, I can't find the kits available anywhere. How should I go about fitting the bath? Can I just prop it up on wood? I'd still need to secure it to the wood though right

It's a potterton profile 80. I didn't think I'd need to worry about getting an engineer as I'm not going near the actual gas.

Hi, This is my first post, I'm hoping some of you guys can help me.... My boiler has just gone on the blink. It just stopped lighting and it makes a loud whirring noise. I removed the cover and I can see the fan isn't spinning. So , I tried to spin the fan with my hand and it's really...
