    Portable AC Unit - Do I refill?

    Who/How can this be repaired? Telephone box on house

    (sorry forgot to update the thread) So, weirdly whilst their telephone support was hideous, Twitter came to the rescue and they classified it as an "emergency" change...a guy came out within 4 hours and added a box. Job sorted, and for free!

    Who/How can this be repaired? Telephone box on house

    Nope, not an active line. Broadband is via Cable, and we don't use landlines at all. Everyone is saying BT should be sorting this but they just keep asking if it's a "junction box" issue. When I ask them to tell me what exactly they mean (after I've explained the situation) I get hung up on...

    Who/How can this be repaired? Telephone box on house

    Cheers guys. Yeah I know we don't NEED to fix it but it looks awful and we're about to put our house in the market. So, are you saying that this isn't a 'provider ' problem and just needs a diy solution?

    Who/How can this be repaired? Telephone box on house

    Hi guys I've tried Virgin and I've tried BT - both hung up on me when my request didn't fit a script they had in front of them (honestly!). So, birds must have gotten to the box that usually terminates the phone line to a house, as the box is no more and the wires are all over the place. Can...

    Circuit with temperamental fuse

    I know yes sorry - I was writing whilst waiting for somebody. Essentially when I use something nonconductive to 'tap' the fuse box responsible for the lights, on the consumer unit, the lights come on. It's like something is loose yes

    Circuit with temperamental fuse

    Hey, We have a converted garage and a new circuit box was out in many years ago. We have found that sometimes the lights don't work in there. When checking the curricula box the circuit for the lights only has a fuse that is pushed in and doesn't have a trip attached. When investigating we...
