    Flying ants in kitchen

    After reading more about it, seems like they might be flies. I'm not sure how deep the gap is. I guess its deep because the waste pipe goes into the entire width of the brick. So would the sealent be able to adhere properly to anything?

    Flying ants in kitchen

    What type of exterior sealent would be best to use? I've read that gaps larger than 1 cm require filler rather than sealent. The gap does seem to be larger than 1 cm in length.

    Flying ants in kitchen

    Recently, we have a problem in which there are flying ants in the kitchen. Most of them appear on the floor near the wall and the kitchen sink. I think the flying ants are getting in through a gap around the water waste pipe as there is a big gap around the pipe. I've attached a photo that...

    Choosing suitable bath taps?

    I have a question about buying bath taps separately then hiring a plumber to fit them. Are bath taps usually a standard size, so there should be no issue of it being an incorrect size for the bath? My question is based on separate hot and cold taps such as Bristan Lever taps, not a mixer tap.

    Interior door - Loose hinge

    Thanks. Do you know if they are sold in low quantity anywhere? As I only need screws for one hinge. And most places sell boxes of screws. I had a look on accu.co.uk but I could only see Torx or Ponzi type screws.

    I've got a problem of a loose hinge on an interior door. The screws have come away from the door. The screws look rusty and old so need to be replaced with new screws. What size head diameter and length of screw would be suitable for a standard sized interior door? I've measured the width of...

    Jury Service

    Does that mean you can't take your phone into the courtroom even if its switched off and in your pocket? In this video, the guy said in the comments that there are only so many lockers. So it seems only some people can get a locker.

    Jury Service

    I don't really. I don't have any training in law and I've never stepped into a court room in my life. So I wouldn't be confident about doing it. It seems it's only for reasons such as medical reasons why someone can be excused.

    Jury Service

    I see. The confusion is, I read a comment where someone said if someone doesn't want to do jury service then they should not register to vote. So it appears they misunderstood then if everyone is automatically on the electoral roll.

    Jury Service

    I recently got a letter telling me I've been summoned for Jury service. I read that people are chosen randomly from the electoral roll. But I've never voted before or registered to vote. Has anyone here been chosen for Jury service even if you've never voted?

    Paint roller for Zinsser Perma-White Anti Mould paint?

    What paint brush did you use? I contacted Zinsser. They said they recommend using a short to medium pile mohair roller. I searched online for mohair rollers. They mention they are for things such as woodwork, but don't mention its for ceilings. Also, a lot don't come supplied with trays. So it...
