    I've broken the seal in my kitchen sink

    So the first thing to say is that I'm an idiot. The second thing to say is that someone on TikTok made a video saying you could clean your drains more easily by removing the sink's stopper (you can do this by lodging the strainer that sits on top of it sideways and turning it as per the first...

    Dishwasher issues (Rengora - Ikea)

    Just done a clean of the filter on my dishwasher because my plates/cups have been smelling a bit of the dishwasher tablets we use post-wash. I lifted the cylindrical filter out and a rusty screw fell out of it onto the floor. No idea where it's supposed to go. There must be a reason for it being...

    Panel heaters vs. oil-filled electric radiators

    Not sure whether this is quite the right place for this query but I just wanted to gauge opinion on which of these are best from a safety perspective, or if they're about the same. At the moment we have Stiebel Eltron CNS 200 panel heaters in the living room and bedroom of our flat. I am always...

    Flash of light

    Absolutely positive.

    Flash of light

    The main bulb in here is LED. Don't think it's that though, until today there was no bulb in there. Only just got round to replacing it after a couple of months of the last one packing up. Noticed it happened while it was switched on this evening but also on previous days when table lamps were...

    Flash of light

    Got a hot water tank and two wall mounted heaters (one of which is near where I've noticed the flashes) but all have tended to be switched off when I've noticed it.

    Flash of light

    No, doesn't seem to occur when a switch is flicked elsewhere in the flat. I've noticed it once when I had my main light on and at another time when side lights were on instead. It may also have happened when no lights are on during daylight but I can't remember a specific occasion to be certain...

    Flash of light

    Thanks for your reply. I ended up purchasing a brand new phone (I needed a new one anyway) so I've stopped using the old device and charger. However these flashes of light have persisted. Next possible culprit is my laptop. From memory it does seem to happen when I'm using it, and I've noticed...

    Flash of light

    Hi all Over the last couple of weeks on maybe three occasions I've been in my bedroom and have noticed a very brief flash of white light, as though there's been a flash of lightening outside. The first time I thought it was a firework outside but now it's happened with my blackout blinds down...

    Water escaping from shower screen

    Hi everyone In our bathroom we have a piece of glass that is attached to the wall by a hinge - the glass acts as a shower curtain (in its normal position it runs parallel to the edge of the bath). I’ve been noticing water on the floor after taking a shower lately and I think the ‘seal’ on the...

    Fused wall heater won’t turn off at wall

    Here is a picture of the switch and the CU. Yeah, I’ve just never turned the electrics off myself. The electrician showed me but I should’ve written it down!

    Fused wall heater won’t turn off at wall

    Okay, I think I will contact an electrician to get it sorted. Can I safely attempt to switch it off at the wall without disconnecting power first? If it still won’t switch to “off” at the wall is it safe to leave it as it is until I can get an electrician out? It may take a couple of days for...

    Fused wall heater won’t turn off at wall

    Hi we’ve had our electric wall heater on this evening for a couple of hours. A wire comes out of it and goes into the wall and a small white panel with a switch on it - below it is the word “fused” so it’s not one you can unplug. This fused thing is partly obscured by the heater itself (which...
