    Be careful, if you don't nip it in the bud quickly he'll have all his mates round drinking and partying until all hours. It's a slippery slope. You could try and get a court injunction

    Tiles falling off the wall

    Leaking tap

    Water off first. There's a screw under the small cap in the centre of the handle. Once that's undone the handle should lift off. Around the mid point of tap is a collar that should unscrew, will probably be tight so a cloth around it and some pump pliers should help. You'll then have access...

    How robust is speedfit pipe? - Damage from drill bit

    Is it your own house? If so you decide whether to take the chance. If you've done this on a customers property then why take the chance?

    Tiling round a shower tray - help!!

    I wouldn't have thought it would make much difference, the wood will still expand at a different rate, you just shouldn't tile onto it like that.

    Tiling round a shower tray - help!!

    Wood expands and contracts with moisture whereas the tray will have little to no expansion. That's why your tile has cracked. That wood should be a lot lower than the tray and a suitable product to be tiled on placed over the top, even plasterboard would be better than wood. That looks very...
