    Indesit IDL 505 tripping out.

    Thanks for your reply. If the door is open I can switch the power on and this is ok. If I shut the door and switch the power on it trips the RCD at the mains board. It is full of water as it tripped during a wash(eco, setting 3) Hope this helps.

    Sewerage Vent Pipe

    Read it wrong between sips of tea. Thought it was lead slate around the base of soil pipe and tiles. Now I see the light. He has had trouble with his verges, this is what I meant.

    Sewerage Vent Pipe

    With the problems you are having I would certainly get an independent report on your roof. It sounds like incapable roofers to me.

    help my wall has been fudged!!!!!!!!!!!

    £10 or £100. The question is was it cheap rubbish or expensive rubbish. You dont pay Ford prices if you want Bentley quality. Most landscapers I know use brickies for brickwork, this is certainly not done by a tradesman. So as woody said, what was the quote for and what was expected. Then...

    Can white grouting be used on floor tiles ?

    Although I always advise customers against white grout on floors it is personal choice. White grout, as mentioned stains very easily. In a bathroom the oils from the body and bath additives stain the grout. I M O I would use another colour.

    Roof tiles are they nailed in or cemented

    The overall weather conditions, ie average wind speeds etc should determine which and how many rows of tiles should be secured(although this is rarely taken into account by some roofers) All perimeter tiles should be nailed. All tiles as previously mentioned should have nibs to hook over batons...

    Roof Verge

    First of all I would get a local roofing company in to inspect and photograph the fixings. Marley will not come out unless there is a possibility of defective goods. The builders will try and blame the inspectors as they will have signed it off as finished to standards required. The probable...
