Hi All, I've removed the architrave around the window, added a stop bead and plastered up to it, but how do I finish this so it looks neater? My first thought was to slap some wood filler in as the window recess is wood lined. Thoughts would be very much appreciated.

As we all know, happy wife happy life right?. Today she asked to to take the architrave off. I thought that plan was to buy new architrave to replace it so not too difficult. She has now changed her mind and doesn't want architrave, she just wants a lovely plastered wall. Given the walls are...

Yeah I thought that, wanted to remove the plasterboard and start again.

Nice clear advice, thanks Wayners will give it a try. If it works it'll save me the £1800 I was quoted.

The water has started leaking through the pull out handle ‍♂️. Took it apart today, washers all look good so no idea what's going on.

Hi, I moved in to my house 2 years ago, property is now around 7 years old. Recently I had the Klargester septic tank desludged. The guy emptying it said the tank didn't look great as a large volume of liquid was pouring back from the drainage field, suggesting the drainage field was blocked...

Top man, thank you

I'm almost certain the back pressure is the problem. After doing a bit more research I have a hissing tap and no non return valves fitted on the mixers. Is the hissing tap the faulty mixer or could that just be a symptom? After a plumber flooded my kitchen from.the main 3 times I'm reluctant to...

It looks like the t&p valve is rated at 7 bar. All the taps in the house are mixers.

Thanks John, hopefully all the below makes sense and shows things a little clearer
