Hi, I manage a small block of 12 flats where we have a leak and I can't identify where its coming from. I have a few ideas tho. The building has ground, 1st and 2nd floors and then a penthouse on the 3rd floor that takes up about half of floor space. Back in June a large leak emerged in the...

I have a new build (2008) flat with doors in the bedrooms instead of windows. The photo attached shows part of a bedroom door. There's no balcony just a glass panel behind it. In heavy rain some water was leaking inside onto the carpet. My temporary fix as shown in the photo was a piece of...

The underground car park where I live has light fittings like shown below (the image has rotated 90 degrees on uploading) with SON E bulbs in. After 8 years some of these light fittings are failing and won't work with new bulbs. Is there a common part in fittings like these that can be...

The photo's show the male end of a ten pin connector. It is for a lighting control unit. One of the wires has come out of the connector. It cant just be put back in. Can anyone tell me where I can get a new connector with wires attached or how you fit a new wire into the existing connector. The...

I live in a new flat that has electrical problems. The builders went into liquidation so im left to fix everything by myself unless I want to wait the 8 months that the NHBC take to do anything. Anyway, it appears I keep getting surges in my flat which is destroying everything. At first I...

Hi. I live in a new flat and my kitchen lights have stopped working. The builders went into liquidation so its not easy getting things fixed. My kitchen lights consist of under cabinet spot lights and ceiling mounted spot lights, controlled through a LEAX scenemaster control unit also...

Hi I have a Gledhill Gulfstream A-Class 12-OV/SS to provide hot water and power the underfloor heating in my 2 bed flat. It says in a brochure that the temperature to the underfloor heating can be controlled but I have no idea how. Does anyone have a installation manual that explains how...

I have bought a 37 inch Samsung LCD TV. Apparently it weighs 18kg, so not actually that heavy. I want to wall mount it in my new flat but the wall where it needs to go is an internal wall and isnt solid. I thought it may have wooden beams to locate but Ive been told it went up with a metal frame...

The tiles in my bathroom in one small area are coming away from the wall. Rather than try to explain ive included a photo. I think there may have been a leak from the flat above before I bought the flat which has led to this happening. The owner of the fla above also owned my flat before I...

I just bought a new kitchen mixer tap as the old one was broke, but replacing it is not as easy as I thougt. I managed to remove the main holding nut to the taps, but can't remove the tail pipes from there joints. The way I understand it these joints (collet ??), is that I should just be able to...

I've just successfully installed a new hob, and thought the single electric oven was going to be easy but hit major problems. The picture below shows whats on the wall looks like in my oven housing. Looks a bit like it was installed by cowboys to start off with. On the left is the wiring to the...

Was thinking of getting a new kitchen in my small flat, but am put off by the £5K quotes and am not sure it needs a whole new kitchen. The Doors/drawer fronts and handles are looking a little old, and some of the insides of the cabinets are damaged or look bad, especially under the sink where...

My one bedroom flat flat has no gas which is a pain so has electric heating and water system. The boiler is a very old economy 7 direct electric hot water tank. It must be very scaled up inside because the shower builds up with limescale (think thats what its called) very quickly. I also itch...
