Bought a tower shower unit a while back - it was fitted as part of a house refurb but the place is unoccupied so the shower has never been used after the inital test on first fitting. I've now discovered the unit is leaking and after a lot of checking and re-checking of connections, I've found...

Hoping someone can offer me some guidance before I tear what's loeft of my hair out. It's a very long short (5 years in the making) but will try to keep it short; Property is a large one, with 17 radiators in total between the ground and first floor. Boiler is a Glow Worm Ultracom 38cxi...

Hi all, I'm after some advice about my external lights. I know nothing about electrics so wondered if someone could throw me some pointers about what could be going on. Have several coach style PIR lanterns on the outside of the house (the ASD ones sold by Screwfix). Getting some odd behaviour...

Looking to start boarding out my loft for storage and just need you knowledgeable folks to advise me (and stop me messing it up). The insulation up there is woeful at the moment so that'll need topping up and I'll be raising the flooring level to get a decent amount without compression. The...

Hi all, Once again I'm looking for some informed opinions from you knowledgable folks. I'm currently having EWI fitted and this is what's been done with the trims under the dry verges on the gable ends. I'm concerned but keep being given assurances that this is all totally acceptable -...

My long standing battles with renovating my property continue :( The house has cavity walls but somehow rain water is bridging it and causing major damp patches around the windows and doors. All the windows and doors were replaced last year but if the spurs the guy was wearing were any...

I’m at my wits end and looking for advice – this is a long one as it’s been going on for almost a twelve month now, so bear with me (I'm including it all in case some is relevant). System is a Glow Worm boiler 38hxi fitted downstairs, with Megaflow HW Tank in an airing cupboard and F&E tank...

Long time lurker, first time poster, I'm wondering if someone can provide some info into an issue I'm having. Bit of back story - two years ago I had a flat roof re-done with EPDM membrane by a roofer. Shortly afterwards we discovered there were problems with water ingress into the cavity...
