I replaced the hob. Spoke to the appliance Helpdesk and likely an expensive part to replace.

I have an unbranded hob from magnet kitchens I think. It's maybe 4 yrs old. The front right hob is just on full all the time, so I have to switch the hob off at the main switch on the wall. Is it an issue that can be repaired or do I just fit a new hob ?

Ok, thanks Noseall. It was pretty easy going doing this today. About 40 mins. To get down and under I will prob have to make the whole area bigger. Do you know roughly how deep I will need to go below the current foundation ? Am I looking at going the same depth again ? So another 600mm...

I am underpinning my bay window. I dug out the first section today and got down to the brick spread foundation. I am down 650mm to the top of the brick spread foundation. Do I now need to go under this foundation or could I just clean up what I’ve done and add the concrete.. the bay has...

No regs built in 1900. Spoke to BC today and I can only fit the maximum amount which the current roof can take. So I don't need to go to 150mm kingspan. Max amount will be 50-75mm.

As i understand it, if I renew my old slate pitched roof I will need to add insulation. The attic is actually a room and I have had the ceilings insulated with 40mm kngspan on the slopes and 270mm soft insulation on the flat section (under a green scheme). Do you know what level of insulation...

Anyone ?

The stopper for this outlet has disappeared. I’ve tried a Mac alpine 1 1/4 and 1 1/2 caps but they are too big. Any idea what part I need?

I have a taxi duotec and the pressure was at 0.5 bar and still working the other day. I topped up quite a bit to top of 1 bar. The next day the pressure was into the middle of 2 bar. Does this mean the pressure sensor is playing up ? Had it serviced in march and the vessel was pressurised...

Ok thanks for your help. Will get to the merchant

Hi I am going to change a broken tile at our squash club but not sure which tile I need. Someone has left some spare tiles at the club but we are not sure if they will work. Can you guys tell me if these will work and if not which tile to buy from the merchants. I am used to using slates but...
