    Help/advice needed - noisy mains even with all taps turned off.

    I don't know but a few things you could try. Water restriction somewhere and water is hissing as it goes through. Fill a bucket with outside tap or bath tap. Time it. Then at the kitchen tap. It's not a good test but see if it reveals anything like flow restriction. If you are ok to do some...

    The best way to fill round this (new shower waste pipe put through stone wall)

    I think using a waste pipe liner is better but they are rare. Can't say I've seen many in the wild. What you have is the normal way I see pipes. Sometimes fire foam around. I plan to fit a new kitchen waste going out under kitchen sink so will use a liner and either cement around liner or use...

    electrical work costs

    Get a few quotes in. Swapping fuse box price can be different depending on where you live and what's involved. I would think somewhere from £600 to £800 for that lot, but I'm guessing based on the last fusebox I was involved in was £400 in a empty bungalow that also has a few extra sockets...

    Filling in the dutyholder Notification

    Use AI. Pasted your question. Short version first: for a self‑build, you do not need to invent three people. You can legally list yourself in more than one dutyholder role if you genuinely are doing those duties, and the rest can be left as “not applicable” or “no other dutyholder appointed”...

    Plaster coving - preparation

    I used gyproc cove adhesive but seal the wall and ceiling surface. You can use many types of sealers. Quality PVA mixed 50/5O Gardz Artex sealer was my favourite but hard to come buy. Beeline sealer is good value. Don't need to seal the coving but seal the dry powdery cut edges. When you seal...

    Paint cracking/falling off. Plaster falling off

    Try a breathable paint over. Contract matt or paint suitable for lime plaster. Gypsum plaster was probably not the best idea although people get away with it. Are the problem walls outside walls? A little condensation maybe.. House has had a damp treatment at the bottom metre? Look's like it...

    Marley Modern Tiles Colour Fading/Surface Wearing Away

    I think that's just weathering. I didn't think it was growth. Maybe I'm wrong so try some wet and forget. We've had some brutal summers and rain. Many hot countries paint roof tiles much to my mates amusement when the builder asked what colour did he want the roof painted. Maybe in a few...

    Remove and replace stuck top-fix toilet seat base?

    Some toilets have matching seats. Very difficult to find a compatible seat sometimes. If you go look at DIY store many seats are sold online and other places under different names. Same seat though. Easier to go look vs buying online in the hope. You have a square seat.
