Thanks. The connection between the guttering and downpipe is actually loose. It can be disconnected/pulled apart. Not sure if they are meant to be like that - in which case there will always be a gap for water to flow out, or if they are meant to be a tight fit?

Hello, Getting water leaking from guttering joints, both from connection between guttering and down pipe and at a gutter joint. The leak was because the gutter was blocked so I have cleared that out, but I’m looking for some advise on how best to fix this joints? I’ve put some photos below. Leak...

Hello, Any suggestions on the best sealant to get this fascia/cover to stick to the tiling and stop water going behind it? Thanks

Hello, I replaced my bathroom extractor fan because the previous one had stopped working. New one is working well but I think I should have probably put some sealant under the base of the fan to seal it? If so, what kind of sealant is recommended? Also, there was nothing holding the ducting to...

Thanks, I got an ES and it fit

Thanks for the replies. Here are a few more photos. I’ve put a paper ruler in there for sizing to try help give perspective. I’ve tried a SES as I have a spare bulb at home and too small

Hello, I have purchased a light fitting but I can’t figure out what bulb it takes. The booklet it came with said gu10 but I purchased a gu10 bulb and it didn’t fit. Any ideas what kind of bulb I need? Thanks

Hello, I have a bathroom floor tile that has lifted up from one side, I can push it down but it springs back up. Flooring was done before we moved into the house, and we found it like this when we moved in. How do I go about fixing this?

Thanks @Madrab , I ordered one of the sets similar to that @HERTS P&D mentioned yesterday which has a box spanner because I think that’s what’s needed in that space. If I do what you suggest, I think I’ll prob have to take both the taps off as they’re attached to each other. Are there any screws...
