I think what you are trying to ask is should the WiFi from the router I have give greater coverage or how can I improve it? The digital Broadband 'signal' difference between FTTC (& copper to your house) and FTTP is the transmission speed - FTTC typically <100Mbs, FTTP typically >150Mbs. The...

As you have an agent they, at least, should have been asked for approval before such changes were started or made. The agent should have consulted you before they gave permission. Such instruction should be in the AST document and the agent should have gone through the AST document with the...

Does your existing mobile display the mode (2G/3G/4/5G) it primarily operating in? from that you may be able to determine which band the 'local' site is working in and get a booster for that. What you also need to know is the distance from the site and importantly, which will need technical...

'25-'26 council tax bill at a local Post Office. Had 'helpful' advice from the bloke behind me in the queue that I should pay by Direct Debit then I wouldn't be holding him up, before I could answer the chap working at the counter made the comment that by using the PO to pay I was helping to...

Must have been a solid short to cause that fuse to 'blow'! Or were the tenants growing lots of something?

Use Concrete Repair Spurs/Soldiers...

We're in the process of moving... Put an offer in on one property which we had knocked 25K off the asking price as the cost to re-instate the walls that the existing owners had taken out - we now know only last year removed as a selling plus point. I gather we aren't the only people offering...

Make sure you are using sufficiently long screws - 40 to 50mm into the brick so that means holes 55mm deep + thickness of the plaster (brick covering) + thickness of the material you are fixing to the wall.

I finally had to stop using the Nokia 6310i I've used for the last 20 odd years. Now have an iPhone 14 - still not used to it; so big, so complex and I'm bl**dy well fed up with mates (and enemies) telling me to used whatzap - what ever that is... Mind you I made the ring Nokia ring noise onto...

The insurance companies must be re-aligning where people live. Wife's car insurance went up £80. did find a quote that was similar to last years premium but the excesses nearly trebled.

Loose element you use a 'bubble' mat laid first over the sub floor to clip the element in to give the correct spacing and stop bending the element excessively. Ask your supplier if the element can be installed under the shower tray if that is bedded on the same flooring compound as the floor...

My thoughts based on the experience of fitting my own bathroom first followed by a couple more. Not entirely sure I agree completely. it will be less but not that much less - maybe 2.5 to 3 sqMtr Do plan your room out on the insulation (you are insulating the floor, yes?) particularly where...

What frustrates me is people turning Right at a Round-a-Bout but entering and staying in the Left Hand lane of the R-a-B even when the road markings indicate the LH lane is a left turn filter. At one local R-a-B I've seen one driver enter from the LH lane, marked Turn Left, not indicate and...

A reciprocating saw rather than a jig saw, far more useful if your don't do woodwork. But you could/should try a hire shop first. But it could be cheaper to buy.

I think you need to wait for them to contact you again; ask how they expect you to heat your property when they remove the radio time switch. If you can't get a sensible answer ask to speak their manager and firmly explain that technicians have previously been out to install a SM and the...

Why won't they fit a mechanical time switch ? If they can't use a stupid meter to do the switching then they can't use a SM to 'read' your consumption.

Honda Izzy - most definitely. Mine - 13 years old starts first time every time unlike the mountfield that the neighbour has and asks me help keep his running. (Pressure) Wash the underside a couple of times a season and waxoyl before you use it and when you put it away at the end of the...

Was the person/company she called a 'one man-band'; a small local company or a national one? A singleton man I'd expect to pay around £100 for an out of hours callout with maybe a lesser charge if the man needed to come back the following day. A small (less than 30 men) about 2.5 to 3 times the...

Best job I've seen on a bungalow in your position is EWI - 50mm insulation batts (breathable) with 20/25mm larch facing.

This is the sort of job my mate would do as a 'Weekender', not for a lower price but to ensure the property owner would be in. He his a one man do it all type of builder. I note the original poster hasn't given any idea of their location in the country so even if a member could help our hands...
