No it's plastic

Ive just spoken with another electrician who said it might be a waste of time him coming out if the sockets and plugs have already been looked at because if the readings are within the normal ranges theres not much more they can do. The electrician said to write everything down ready for when he...

Im going to ring him this morning and say that we havent actually had any answers and before he fits a new fuse box i need to get to the bottom of the problems, thats that actaul issue afterall. Its weird, when i went in last night the radio wasnt letting off that electrical current anymore and...

hi just thought id let you know what the electrician said. He checked all the sockets, light switches in the kitchen. He tested the fuse box and said essentially all my wiring is fine but the fusebox is very old and said safety wise a new box would be of benefit (but didnt say i HAD to get one)...

Thanks ....ive switched everything off but the fridge will have to stay on till the morning. I've been telling family members inc my step dad who thinks he knows everything about DIY for ages something was up with the kitchen and they all just said I was worrying too much and bulbs pop all the...

Thanks everybody I'm going to get an electrician out tomorrow. Currently googling trying to find someone who will come out ASAP

Hi guys I had my kitchen decorated in 2013 and since then ive noticed the electrics in my kitchen seems faulty. When the decorators were in one of the lights kept blowing the bulb and also the fuse box (it's a really old fuse box). This was sorted and then the plasterer got a shock when...

I agree weve spent waaaay too much!! i bought the traps from B&Q then got home googled them and theyve got a rubbish rating. Ive baited them with peanut butter for now but ive ordered some of the old style wooden traps which are supposedly still the most effective. We have called this man's...

thanks for all the advice guys. Just to update the rat situation continues ....pest control said he had sealed all entry points but obviously not I heard it running all over my bedroom ceiling the past two nights and haven't had a wink of sleep absolutely terrified. We've gone out and bought...

Not sure if I'm posting this in the right place but here goes. A week ago I started noticing scratching noises in the ceiling above my bedroom. Being petrified I called a private pest control company and the guy called the next morning. He's put bait under the floor boards, all through the loft...

Gigz ... No it's just when I put the hot tap on. When I put the tap on in the kitchen I can hear it thumping but when I put the bathroom tap on its not as bad

It's not been serviced. Stupidly thought paying for extended warrenty was enough. Servicing has never even crossed my mind :(

Hi guys I had some areas of damp sorted out in my front room last year. It was under the window just above skirting boards extending to the wall where the internal door is leading from the passage to my living room. I was very pleased with the results but now I've noticed that on the other side...

Hi guys over the past few days I've noticed my boiler or pipes are making a strange noise when I turn the hot water tap on. It's like a banging/clunking noise (that's the only way I can describe it). This stops as soon as I turn the tap off. What could this be? I pay a monthly cover with...

Thanks footprints ...I don't think it was sanded I think he just used a Chisel and knocked the peaks of the artex off. Come to think of it now I used to have two house rabbits and they used to gnaw at the artex on the arch there were areas of the arch where the artex was literally all gone so...
