Hi John, Many thanks for the reply. The climate abroad was in the mid 20’s and much more humid than in the uk. There was no diesel lorries around the accommodation. Our loft insulation is a dark yellow colour. I’ve attached a photo showing a small piece of insulation. ive bought a hygrometer...

Hi all, ive got a few questions I was hoping someone could help with. I had my loft converted 9 years (done to building regs) and have been pretty much trouble free until recently. In the summer time we had a bad water leak in a room below, this was from a failed roof valley and the water was...

Slightly off topic but when I had all my electrical work done the lights started flickering and the electrics went! When looking in the meter box I found this! Electrician came straight out and said the tails hadn't been tightens enough!!

Interesting comment. The CU is about 6 meters away from the meter. The house was re-wired at the same time the meter was relocated. The meter guy fitted an isolated to the meter, the electrician (who re-wired the house) said because the CU was more than so many meters from the meter he had to...

Hi all, I need some advice please. Let me first say i'm not a electrician and i will not be doing any electrical work, I just need some advice as to what will be required in my garden, then possibly I wont get the wrong advice when I start getting quotes. I'm planning on building a garden...

Hi all, We have decided to replace our glow worm boiler at work, its over ten years old and we have had quite a lot of trouble with it over the past few years, indeed its just started leaking today. We had a plumber out to it last year who said it is the wrong boiler for the job. It runs...

Hi all, I've got a Daewoo FRS-U20DCI American style fridge freezer. The water pressure on the water dispenser is low, takes ages to fill a glass with water. I've changed the filter and checked the pipe at the back, all ok but pressure is still low. The ice maker is fine. I think the...

Hi all, I've got a problem with my Danfoss TP5000 thermostat. The display is working fine, clock is fine etc but when its time for it to fire up the boiler for the central heating the boiler doesnt come on, same with the manual overide on the stat, no heat. I also have wet underfloor...

Hi all, My Daewoo frsu20dci side by side fridge freezer is no longer chilling the water from the dispenser. Other than that the fridge and freezer are fine and ice maker are fine. Does anyone know how to fix it? Does anyone know how the water is chilled, I know its mains fed. Ive had a...

Ive cut it short with my old flymo mower yesterday, i'll try it mid week with the petrol mower and see if its any better.

The grass is generally flat. My dad passed away last year so I got his mower, I had always wanted a petrol mower so didnt want to get rid of it. Ive changed the oil, filter and plug, It runs ok so I thought I'd use it. The cut hasnt been that good, i've got a copy of the manual and adjusted...

Grass is dry. Just wondering if the cylinder needs sharpening?

Ive got a Suffolk punch Classic 35s cylinder mower. Its not cutting the longer grass in my lawn. The front roller pushes the long grass down then it springs back up uncut. The shorter grass is cut no problem. Anyone any ideas what it might be? Thanks for any suggestions all! Steve

Right, need to get some torq drivers from work (i will return them!) then have a look at it. It was a cheap one I got from the Karcher outlet (reconditioned) but I dont want to have to buy a new one if possible. Thanks again. Steve

Its not leaking water and was running fine for twenty minutes or so then just went funny. I'll get a parts diagram and take it to bits. Thanks for the advice!

Hi all, I was using my Karcher power wash today when all of a sudden the pressure just dropped to a trickle. The mains water and electric were fine. When I turn the switch on the motor just runs continuously. When I squeeze the trigger there is just a trickle of water. Has anybody come...

Hi all, had a strange morning today. Had a power cut that was because of a loose connection coming out of my meter, caused the consumer unit to trip a few times. Resulted in having no power for 5 hours. Power back on now. This afternoon for no reason my alarm (veritas R8 Excel) went off, it...

Hi all, I am thinking of installing two trellis panels that are 3 foot high. I was thinking of using 2x2 inch posts. My question is how do I secure them in the ground. Is the best method met posts or concrete? Or is it ok just to get posts that are pointed and sink them in the ground...

Can anyone help? Every light in my house has started to flicker. It started a week ago. Also my 2 table lamps flicker aswell so im thinking its not just a problem with the lighting circuit. My house was re-wired 2 years ago and had a loft conversion last year so all the electrics are new. Only...
