Will have a look next time its ****ing down. It looks like the other side of the felt there is some concrete type substance, not sure if this is just the remnants of an old tile, From the street they all look good, wondering if one has slipped slightly, I had a board down underneath and if I had...

Hi people, I just went up into the space in my eaves to store some stuff and noticed that there is a small hole about the size of a saucer in my felt, I can kind of see daylight through it and it looks like it has been leaking a little bit, Is this something that can be patched up, all the rest...

Brilliant so just get rid of old paint. Sand rough edges down. Make sure dry and clean then use primer on bald patches and then 2 coats of something like sandtex textured white. nice one. Im guessing that is a 2day job for me and a friend?

Im just going for white but didnt want the bare patches where i have removed old paint to show through once i have finished

Hi guys and gals. The front of my victorian semi is looking a bit rough and ready. The paint is starting to peel and i have been putting it off. Cant do it anymore it needs painting.

Seems like this is a common problem with this cistern, Mine doing the same thing, So im right in thinking flush the toilet, Tie up the valve to stop it refilling and then undo the big white nut and there is a rubber washer behind it that needs replacing, Any idea if I have to turn off the water...

I didnt realise it was a weekly check, I always assumed the pressure only went down when there was a leak, but no we were not told to monitor pressure, I have seen a video and it looks fairly straight forward to repressurise using the provided key and internal loop.

Hi guys, I had a greenstar 32cdi boiler fitted around 8 months ago and we have never had any issues, It is fitted in a back bedroom upstairs that we use for students, and it was only when I was cleaning up in there today that I for some reason opened the front of the service door and noticed...

Ok water off and now I know what im looking for! Its relatively modern so hopefully the washer just pushes on. They are rubber I take it

Thanks John. I can get the tap cap off and undo the Phillips screw. Does the tap then just pull off ( it seems stuck on) once it is off what am I looking for? Sorry tap newbie here!

Hi guys, I have a mixer tap in the bath which incorporates the shower as well (theres an up and down pull tab to switch between the two. Recently the cold tap stopped working, It didnt turn as far as it should and no cold water came out of either the shower or bath. It is a one spout two tap...

Hi, we have a downstairs and upstairs toilet in our house and recently I have noticed that when my wife is showering upstairs the downstairs toilet bubbles and gurgles and water level is low. Just a minute ago as well I flushed the downstairs toilet and it filled right up then sank down to a...

Unfortunatly it needs to be wood and ideally have either 2 plastic or glass panels in, So like a four panel door with the top panels being see through!

Hi guys I have a really rubbish sunroom attached to the back of my kitchen and the door is falling apart, Its a weird size and I was wondering where the best place to get one on the cheap would be? Ive struggled so far, Any ideas?

Hi guys, I had new guttering fitted a few months back and have had 2 problems, One it seem to leak one end from under the Facia, Only a little but I dont want a stream of water running down my wall. Thats number one, Number two I recently fitted a water butt and everything has been fine until...
