Hi. I’ve noticed recently after 3 years in my new build house that the upstairs floor is creaking in a few places. I’ve pulled up the carpet and had a look but it’s different to what ive worked with before, there are no screws in there already so I’m assuming it’s all glued down. What’s the...

Not obvious to me. Thanks, that’s what I was looking for

Hi, I’ve recently had a new wall built outside my house, after a couple of weeks the rain has started to cause black and yellow streaks from the top of the wall. I’ve asked the builders and they have been next to useless, they suggested a sealant of some kind. Does anyone know what product...

I have a Zanussi zrb932fw2 fridge freezer which has recently started to emit an increasingly loud humming/ buzzing noise. I have listened closely and it seems the noise is coming from behind the ventilated compartment at the roof of the freezer section. I have looked everywhere for an...

Thanks for the feedback. @bernardgreen - Yes it is an I beam, encased in plaster and a bit of wood. So it's possible to drill this onto the wall then with some tek screws? Smaller hole and HSS drill bit's should be good? Thanks

@ban-all-sheds: Thanks, will check when I get home. @plugwash: The meter in the photo is in a central cupboard. I've flicked the switch fuse off and on but it didn't do much. The flick switches in my actual flat have all been reset off/on also.

Yes everything was fine. I had the washing machine on and also a few mobile devices charging. No lights were on at the time as it was midnight. My property management are in no rush to fix the issue and it seems that it is out of my comfort range to attempt anything myself.

@ban-all-sheds: Sorry, I should have rephrased my question. I'm not overly interested in how there is a red light on the meter. My main concern is that no electrical equipment in my flat is working. @Lectrician: Thanks for the information. I'll double check everything again and call...
