@Jurassicspark I've only just brought the house, but I believe the Windows were installed 2012 and it seems like it's been an ongoing problem we paid for a level 3 rics and we've found the surveyor hadn't identified a few problems so....

@Jurassicspark thank you, yes a cavity tray! I'm sure that's what he meant. So you think that or the condensation is the problem... I don't have a humidity meter, but I have a loft PIV installed as the Windows do get a lot of condensation. Part of the problem is I have a large conservatory on...

In two of my upstairs bedrooms, front and back, the plaster is cracking and coming away from the brick. I don't know what's causing it. I've had 3 builders give me 3 different reasons. The first said condensation and the Windows need trickle vents. The second said the bricks above the Windows...

I did it!!!!! Thank you everyone for your help and for saving me £60! I was sweating like crazy lol but I did it! Thank you

the cable is in trunking down the tiles, it goes through the cupboard underneath and into the back of the cupboard. I don't want to leave the cable behind, so I need to disconnect from this socket.

Ok its a bit different to what I thought. The cooker is wired into a plug socket. Can I still just turn off all the electrics to the entire house at the fuseboard, open up the socket and just disconnect the wires attached to the cooker cable, then just screw the socket front back on? (like a...

@blup thank you. I was planning on keeping the wire attached to the cooker, not leaving it attached to the wall. So would I need to do anything to the terminal, or can I just put the cap back on and then turn all the power back on?

I'm moving and need to disconnect my electric Freestanding cooker. Can I just turn off the mains fuse box, cutting all power to the house, then unscrew the box, unscrew the 3 terminals, pull the wires out, put the cap back on the cooker terminal box, then just turn all the electrics back on...

I have a 4 bed house, I own it with my partner and the mortgage company. I would like to convert an upstairs bedroom into a small kitchen with a freestanding electric cooker, fridge freezer and sink unit. The room is tiny 8'8" x 6'2" . Will I need planning permission? I read that it will need to...

Thank you so much for all your help, I understand now, it's setup like an old boiler system where you have to have the hot water on a timer rather than hot water at will with a combi. Seems strange as the boiler is new. Thanks again for all your help.

I have just moved into a property with a Glow Worm 7 25s. It doesn't seem to operate like the videos online or manual says. For example, it won't let me change the Hot Water Temp. and I can't get it to ECO mode. I CAN change the heating temp. Underneath the boiler is a panel with 2 switches...
