Sorry everyone I hadn't seen these replies. Thank you all for your advice. The house isn't up for sale yet so I'll see how it is described when it goes up. The table and chairs out there makes me think they'll market it with a balcony unless the estate agent pushes back.

Hi guys, We live in a 3 bed semi made in the 60s and have been here around 12 years. Our neighbours had lived in their property from new and at some point in time added a ground floor extension across the back of their property going out about 3m into their garden. On top of the extension they...

Hi, thanks yes I had considered the red line you suggested as it could sit behind the carpet as there is space. I was concerned drilling down from there in case i hit something structural. Red would definitely be the preference. ( i wouldn't be the one drilling!) Yes can only be at the front...

Hi everyone, I need to get a new electricity cable from my understairs cupboard to the front of the house for a new car charger. My options are limited and the only real way will be to get between the first floor joists from the cupboard. This is looking tricky and was wondering if this idea...

Hi, I have a 3 year old Hotpoint HS1801AA.1 fridge. I've noticed ice forming at the bottom back of the fridge. I have made sure the drain hole is clear and melted the ice but have noticed within a day ice has formed along the small grooves where the water is suppose to drain into the hole...

Was there any mention of a door either verbally or in writing?

Thanks. Not completely sure what you mean Not sure I fancy the damage from getting the skirting off

Hi, On the threshold between old and new of an extension I believe the concrete strip has crumbled slightly under the vinyl causing a slight dip where people keep walking across it. I was thinking of prying up where the dip is and stuffing in the sand to level. I am concerned I won't get the...

Thanks for replying. All within 1m of each other. Very tight. Quick question the shower trap has a cup in it. After reading am I right in thinking it doesn't matter if water is sucked from underneath the cup as it's the water in the cup and the lid seal that stops the smells?

Hi guys, Our ensuite has the usual shower, toilet and sink. On occasions the toilet or sink would empty the trap in the shower. There isn't an air admittance value near these 3. Could one be installed under the sink. It is a very small ensuite. What is that thing on the right? Doesn't look...

Looks like those hinges are just in the US. Think these will work. I hope. https://www.hafele.co.uk/en/product/concealed-cup-hinge-95-nexis-blind-corner-sprung-slide-on-arm-grass/000000fc0001695000010023/ And...

I know this hasn't stirred up much interest but I am going to try and source one of these. It can then go into the back of the filler panel.

Hi, I've moved this from appliances as it really isn't about the appliance itself. Have a fully integrated washing machine. Had issues with the cabinet door vibrating because it connects to the washing machine itself. I want to put the door on standard hinges so it is independent from the...

Moved to carpentry forum

Hi, I've pulled our integrated machine out to adjust the legs as it was vibrating and ever so slightly moving. The carcass door connects to the actual machine. The door always vibrated when the machine was spinning and was so annoying. As well as this getting the legs level and at the perfect...
