    Hotpoint fdl570 dishwasher

    Hi guys, Nearly at the point of ditching this heap of junk but want one last go at fixing. The problem is that at the end of a cycle the rinse aid, salt and wash lights flash and is a pain to reset. I believe this indicates a flood in the base but on removing the base it is bone dry. The...

    wall repair

    The wall isn't suitable at all. I think with all this rain in the last couple of years it has added a much greater weight against the wall. Looking at it tonight, there is a bow in the bottom, and the bricks are very wet. Most of their garden is around 3ft higher than ours but this is fairly...

    wall repair

    This is a tricky one I think. I have a garden wall (about 5 ft)which has the soil banked up on the neighbours side by the previous owners. The wall has been fine until this year where it has bowed and has quite a bit of lean on it. We were planning to build raised beds against the wall our...

    Wall/plasterboard gaps

    the gap is only where the board butts with a bit of the wall which is uneven. Not about to buy another expensive board to fill a 15mm gap! Can you use bonding to fill the whole gap 52mm deep? Cheers for the advice.

    Wall/plasterboard gaps

    I have installed some gyproc triline but have ended up with some gaps of around 1.5cm in places around the edges of the wall where the walls are not straight. What's the best way to fill these?

    Chimney/flu experts

    Thanks for the reply. Yes the wooden supports are as you describe, I hadn't realised they were original. The outer flues which served the bedrooms and chimney pots have been removed as I think they were beyond repair. The remaining flues just seem to be propped up by these supports. Is that...

    Chimney/flu experts

    Newbie with a strange question probably. I live in an old 100+ mid terrace. It seems to have had a very dodgy roof later in its life and water has caused damage to the chimney flues to the extent they are in a bad way being propped up by some wooden supports. Everything is dry now and nothing...
