I have recently noticed that one of our windows has a gap between the inner seal that is quite large and is allowing air in from outside. After inspecting the other windows in the house they all seem to have a gap in the same place which is towards the middle of the window which in my opinion...

I currently have a Tarmac driveway that is showing its age, the surface is becoming worn and patchy but to be fair it has been down 25 years. The base layer is still perfect and there are hardly any dips so i would like to get it resurfaced, i have no idea how much this is likely to cost so i...

My current pump is a Grunfos 15-50 x 18 and its on its way out, it was noisy anyway but after stripping it down and removing numerous insect carcasses and a rusting screw from the blades :shock: it is really grumbling now. The only issue i have is that grunfos do not do this model anymore so...

I am fed up with my current career path and i am interested in becoming a tiler. I have a variety of experience in DIY but when it comes to tiling all i have done is a some grouting and tile cutting. Things are stacked against me as i am nearing 29 so i would be grateful of any ideas that would...

Last year i flushed out the heating system with fernox F3, flushed all the radiators, refilled the system and added fernox F1. I noticed at the start of this year whilst in the loft there was a small amount of white scum in the tank that looked like dried paint, i removed it and i thought that...

Whats the expected room temperatures for a 3 bed semi that has double glazing,cavity (poly bead) and loft insulation fitted? I appreciate they will all be different but what would a plumber be hoping to achieve.

we had new windows and doors installed last year but we still continue to have problems with condesation and mould. Ive noticed that on some of the windows condesation is collecting inside of the frame where the window or door sits, the frames have a drain hole but on all of the larger windows...

Ive just been in the loft putting the new insulation in and ive spotted something thats got me a little worried, theres a hole in the felt for starters about the size of a small plate and some of the timber on the same side (rafters) has a white/yellow stain on it and the area smells like...

Iam goin to renew the loft insulation we have at the weekend, at the moment its very old and is falling apart and only has a depth of about 80mm. Iam not sure how far i can put the insulation to the edge of the building, i think i have plastic vents fitted to the underside of the roof because i...

Iam looking to have the following work done to the heating system but i would like to know roughly how much it would cost and the time it would take. We have a 2 port honeywell valve that needs replacing with a 3 port honeywell valve so that we can have the heating on without heating the water...
