Hi all, got a hotpoint FFA60 which has recently had solid icing across the condensor and the drain hole behind the back panel of the freezer, a couple of inches thick in places. We defrosted it last night, but is this indicative of a problem with modules or hardware? The ice was a frozen...

Hi all, cant think of anywher else to ask except here. I use one of my upstairs rooms for storage of paper, reams of the stuff, sometimes in large packages. I'm fed up with carrying them by hand, so short of dropping them in the roof by helicopter i was thinking of getting one of these...

redoing the bathroom, and part of plan the includes a durgo valve replacing the vent pipe, and hidden behind a cistern cabinet. But, the guy who drewup the plans didnt seem to take note of whether or not our drains were vented elsewhere, which i believe is a necessity. How can i tell if...

Hi all , got a catridge style CU with a single 45A 'powerbreaker' switch next to it that was once fed from the main CU. This 45 then went to the old stairlift in the house (overkill i know). Anyway, we need to run a feed to the shower (10.5kw) . So, i know the CU is capable of supplying the...
