Hi, I live in a fairly new build home. Last year we noticed wasps coming and going to a hole that’s in the wall outside, i think the hole is from where they probably put in the cavity wall insulation. there are a few of these holes but from what i can see all are filled in apart from one which...

Hi, thanks for the replies, i have actually not long ordered a sander anyway, do you think this would be fine for this job? https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00BLZXYSI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Hi, I have a problem area in my new build house in the living room where from the bottom of the skirting board and then up about 1.25 metres a crack always appears in the plaster board, this has been fixed a couple of times by the developer and i have also tried doing it a few times but always...

This is probably a stupid question as i am sure the answer is yes, but thought i'd make sure. You can see from the below pic the shower is fitted direct to the wall (power shower i think)? and has the 2 switches, top one turns ther water on and bottom one changes the temprature. I am...

I have a Potterton Promax ultra 40 boiler, its a year and a half old. We have never had any issue with it up until a day ago and we noticed intermitently its been making quite a loud rummbling sound, similar to when it turns on to heat the water but louder and for a bit longer, alkso if you are...

i checked the inlet and outlet pipes of the towel rail, i assume the inlet is the one on the left and the outlet is the one on the right with the dial to change the temp? the left side was boiling hot and the right side was only luke warm.

Hi, thanks for the replies, it sounds like it may have been me undoing the nut when trying to loosen the vent, next time they need doing I’ll bare that in mind. In regards to my original post, i realised i had actually missed the towel rail in the bathroom on the top floor (it’s a 3 story...

Hi, I've not had much dealing with bleeding radiators before, so I’m sorry if this is a bit of a silly question :dunno: I have lived in a new build house for about a year and half now, i decided today i would give the radiators and the heated towel rails. The 2 radiators furthest away from...

Hi, thanks for the reply, when they come out to look at it, what should i expect them to do then as i assume they will just want to re-apply a layer of grout in the crack, should they really atake the tike fully off to look for damage etc? Can i insist on that or it is really down to what they...

Hi, I was hoping to get a bit of advice regarding a crack that keeps appearing in the grout in the shower cubicle, it’s happened before and in exactly the same place as well. The house is a new build property and is now just over 1 year old, the property has 2 years where they will come and fix...

Hi, i live in a fairly new house, was built a year ago. The seal along the shower cubical that is against the wall / tiles has started to look like its coming a little away from the tiles, the rest looks fine although it does looks thinly put on. Because most is fine i was wondering can i...

Hi, i am more so wondering if this is or could be an issue more than its something that really effecting me right now. I moved into a newly built house a few months back, got a guy out to put an aerial on the roof, the house already had a media plate in the living room. When we come to test...

Hi, i was hoping someone could help me, i am wanting to put a curtain pole up just above the french doots in the living room. I am not great at DIY having not done that much, so a little advice would be great. I think what i am struggling with more than anything is going to do it and then it...

Hi, i moved into a new built property about 2 months ago, up to now we hadn't used the radiators much, the last few days we have been though, and just before i noticed a faint noise from upstairs that i hadn't heard before, presumably it only does it when the radiators are on as i haven’t heard...

Hi I have 2 questions about my boiler, it was part of a new built property, seems very good, it's a potterton pro max ultra boiler think model 33 or 40. My first question is how do I actually increase the pressure on this boiler, with boilers I have used before you just give a lever a turn...

Hi, I am not really that great when i comes to DIY so thought i'd ask for help, i have recently moved into a new build house, there are a couple of places in the bathroom where i feel should have a little more sealant on but maybe they don't, if not then thats great. If i do need sealant for...

Hi, I have moved into a new build property about 6 weeks ago, I can't say I did or didn't really notice before but in the shower cubicle I have noticed that just above one of the bottom tiles there is a thin crack running along the grout (prob about 10cm long). Can anyone tell me if I should...

It is a vaillant ecotec pro 2, it was only fitted about 12 months ago as we had a lot of problems with our old one. I live in a flat, the boiler is situated in the kitchen and its the kitchen tap that mainly has all this cloud, although i cant say i have tested the others really as i wouldnt...

Hi, i am only doing a message to ask is it normal for the cold water tap to always really cloudy when the heating is on? The water is very clear any other time but as soon as the heating goes on the cold tap has loads of white bits and very cloudy, i find i have to run the tap for a minute or...

Yes i know that turning it has different spray patterns, i did leave it in 2 sachets of descaler but it was for about 1 hour in hot water, after i put it back on it was still the same, infact maybe slightly worse as turning the spray part now felt much looser than before. do you happen to know...
