I think my tap is the Grohe Bau curve 2017 model onwards. So the cartridge is 46963000. It costs on eBay £53 delivered. A new Grohe tap (prob the same design) at screw fix is £65. Any idea why the cartridges are so expensive ? I may as well buy new as I can change myself. Seems a waste.

Any idea on the type of cartridge ? Will grohe be able to advise ?

I have this tap from screwfix. It’s about 10 yo. It’s just started to be stiff when opening and closing it. Is this fixable? Is it a cartridge issue? Thanks

I binned mine at the tip. Got a free one though. Replacements in the future will not be internet ones

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 ?

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...

It’s for my property and I would like a solution if there is one. Or do I drill a big hole in the floor?

I have the standard u shaped bath trap but it is too tight on this new bath I have put in I have 65mm of clearance. I don’t want to chop a hole out below the trap in the floor Are there some slimmer versions. I wonder if this might be slimmer than the one I have...
