Hi there Any recommendations to fix this damage in a tile apart from ripping tile out and replacing? Are there any tile repair kits you'd recommend? I don't need it to be perfect/invisible just not so obviously noticeable, and waterproof. thanks in anticipation Best

I've used rubber feet under a washer dryer they help a lot https://amzn.eu/d/02PAGzy8

I don't think your question is about this thread

Vaillant ecofit pure 825. So basically if part of the boiler fails so gases are wrongly going through the boiler condensate trap and boiler condensate trap also fails by going dry, putting the outflow on the other side of the water trap in the sink stops the gases going into the property via the...

Hi all the experts out there I have just received an annual landlords gas safety record, no warnings or defects recorded. Vaillant boiler Ecofit Pure 825 installed around 2-3 years ago before I bought the property. However there is a comment that the Condense waste should enter drainage after...

yes whole room is being redecorated [new extractor fan done, floor tiles just been done, a new tap and painting to be done]. Any advice on the actual repair to chip please? [I know will need cleaning first]

Hi everyone/the experts here I have a small chip in a kitchen worktop - see photo. I'd be grateful for advice on how to repair - what products you'd recommend to use etc. Rest of worktop is fine so seems silly to replace rather than repair I think so long as it's something slightly darker it...

Thanks I can't see where the holes were at moment (scaffolding in way) but roofer did give a couple of options said was same price, one was covering (not the painted bit) with plastic capping which gets screwed in said he'd recommend that as less long term maintenance. We did also have another...

Stevie88 thanks a lot for taking the time to reply. I dont have before photos of the roof [do have some of the fascia/soffits which showed peeling paint [and a couple of holes]- i saw them scraping this off off and it's now painted as shown in photos, so "hopefully" all ok but havent actually...

Danfre - thanks I'm not sure how much I can do about that but could raise issue of lead length and pointing if others here concur, but at least [unlike others here] it's very specific. It's a pointer to look for if/when things go wrong with it in future or if I have any other roofing work needed...

how kind and constructive

thanks actually thanks to the comments on this forum and eventually being able to look at gutter from above, was able to sort out the issue and clear the gutter and resolve the problem - because people did question what I'd said in my non-expert way

thanks for the cut n paste job; real expertise there. but agree, sometimes we all use these sites or trustpilot and even with good reviews and trusting our 'gut', sometimes we will get it wrong, sadly

Well if they are, a chancer they have managed to get >100 positive reviews [and a score of 4.5/5] for roofing jobs [yes i did read all the reviews] on mybuilder.com. Maybe all us customers are mugs, and the chancer has no competence as a roofer but somehow still got a good score from lots of...

no - either i've been a mug and paid far too much [even tho others quoted far more] for substandard work - altho as I've said, the scaffolding seems the right ballpark for the size/height/number of platforms - or i've paid the right amount; either way it's not material. what would you charge ...
