Hello I hope I'm not being repetative but I haven't found any conclusive advice for my query through searching the forum. I have an uneven asphalt floor which I would like to tile with large travertine tiles (610x406). It's about 30m2 but I'm unsure whether it possible (or necessary) to use...

Thank you so much. Door open and now seems to be functioning normally.. hooray! Got a sneeky suspicion that the kettle caused the trip and just waiting for it to be tested. Will arrange to check the motor and heater on the washer too. Again, many thanks for your help! x

Hi there, I popped the machine on last night and soon after my electrics tripped. I reset them and the washer carried on going. Unfortunately, at the end of the cycle the "door locked" light stayed on and I haven't been able to open the door since. I've tried unplugging it and running it on an...

There are spot lights in the bathroom's wood panel ceiling of a house I'm buying. The surveyor says they do not have adequate fire proofing. Can anyone advise me how to rectify this? Loads of thanks x :?

Thank you sooooo much Breezer! The spiggot was facing away from me and it seems it was blanked off. Doh! Anyway, what do you expect from a girlie... Thanks again. Case closed. xx

Hello Everyone. I just don't understand it. I've plumbed in my new Bosh dishwasher to the letter; the drainage hose is raised 850mm above floor level and graduates on a slight downward slope to a connector on the sink's peatrap. After 3 trial pre-washes the bottom of the dishwasher is in...
