Hello. I have a flagged parking space at the side of my house with my 1.7 tonne car regularly parked on it. There is a manhole cover which can access the waste pipe with runs around from the back of the house and down to the street, via where I park the car. The car's front wheel is parked on...

Hello. I have a 4 year old Vaillant combi boiler, serviced annually (last service July 2025). 4 bed dormer with 2 en suite showers and a separate bathroom shower, all off the mains water. There is only my wife and I living at the property. We had a guest, using the other en suite shower, from...

Thanks for all your comments. You have given me perspective on the issue. Looks like things are not meant to last. If it gets me to the January sales I will replace then. Thanks, again

Thanks. I got the location dimensions out a little. The moon spot is ~ 400mm from the left of the screen and ~ 200mm from the top of the screen. Looking forward to your comments. Pics attached

Thanks for your comments. However, my TV has no damage, so there is no risk of condensation ingress in the way you suggest.

I have a Samsung 55" curved screen smart TV which is ~ 8 years old. Within the last couple of months a "misty moon" has appeared about 100mm from the left and the same down from the top of the screen. It's only about 20mm diameter but appears on live TV or recorded TV programmes and on...

Thanks for your comments.

I'm happy to use reducers. What I don't know is how the reducers work, i.e. are they only to be used in one direction or are they bi-directional ? Logically, I could fit a 40-50mm reducer to the 40mm waste coming out, then fit the 112.5degree 50mm bend to the 50mm end of the reducer, then fit a...

Hello. I recently had a loft conversion installed where there is a 40mm (43mm external) basin waste pipe positioned to come out vertically through the soffit of my bungalow and attach to a 68mm rainwater vertical downpipe some 3 ft away from where the 40mm pipe exits the soffit. This has been...

My LVP in the hallway has been down for 6 years and still looks good. It is laid lengthways along a hallway some 7metres long. the width of the laid LVP is ~1.4m plus the door entries of which there are 1 at either end and 1 either side some 5m along the run. There are 7 boards across plus the...

Hello. Is the forum still operating or is there a different reason why I have not received a response ? I appreciate that advice in this forum is free and advice, in the past, has always been helpful. Thanks, in anticipation.

I have seen some threads related to insulating stud walls in dormer bungalow eaves spaces and some references to VCL but it's not clear for me and I don't want to do the wrong thing. I have a dormer bungalow where I walk through the back of a dormer bedroom wardrobe into the eaves space...

Thanks, JP_. Appreciated.

Hello, I have seen a few threads on this topic but some questions remain for me. I have a 1970's dormer with suspended wooden floorboards. The last EPC recommended floor insulation to improve the energy performance of the property. I've had other floorboards up and there is about 10" (250mm)...

Thanks, conny. Very helpful, too .
