Hi all Not long moved into a house. The en suite shower cubicle has a few areas of missing grout. Depending on where you aim the shower there's water that can come through to downstairs. I've been trying to get a tiler (also some cracked tiles in main bathroom) but to no avail. I feel like I...

Cheers. Yeah I suspect you're probably right and it needs a bit more "serious" work. The whole house is currently in the same condition though so hopefully I can get away with a quick fix to tide me over the next few months or so. I've ordered one of those anti vibration mats and also some...

Hi, I'm almost certain it is clear of them, I think it's probably rattling the floors/walls rather than direct contact with the pipes themselves. I have one of those instant hit water heaters in the cupboard next to it which it also causes to shake about, so much so that the tao connected to it...

Don't suppose you remember where you got it from? I've seen various depths/materials etc

Hi all Finally bought a washing machine for my new house (was a bit of a saga due to below average worktop height, ended up having to buy a beko integrated machine but manual indicates it can be installed as freestanding) When spinning it is rattling the pipework all around it (unfortunately...

That makes sense, thanks. I did rush the second coat last night to get it done before bed

Hi all Did 2 coats of paint on this wall last night without any real issue. Wife decided she didn't like the colour so doing a coat of a different colour (but same paint type) tonight. This one wall now has 3 bubbles in it. The other side of this wall is ensuite shower so a little concerned...

Hi all Was looking today at an LG washing machine, its slightly too high for my (abnormally low) under counter recess but I noticed it has 2 locking nuts on the feet. This seems overkill and if I can remove 1 of these then it probably fits but just wondering if anyone else has done this? I...

Moved in recently, noticed this in garage roof but it doesn't look like it's happened recently. I haven't seen any signs of leak inside the garage so not sure if this type of tile just sits in top of another and therefore is mainly cosmetic or if it's something I do need to resolve ASAP. Cheers...

Just looking for some general opinions here, moved into a new house, there's what I think is real wood flooring downstairs (and in some rooms upstairs), doesn't appear to be in the best condition but looks like it might be a nightmare to lift so I'm thinking I could either try to revive it (sand...

Hi all Got this dishwasher fault. According to Google it seems to relate to flooding of some sort within the machine. Anybody know how catastrophic this is, how easy to fix, what can cause it etc? If I close the door with the power on it seems to want to work, but can't tell if it's trying to...

Hi all Moved into a new house 3 weeks ago, still haven't bought a washing machine, mainly due to having so many other issues to deal with but also because the recess under the worktop I have is smaller than usual (840mm). I've been trying to find a machine I can fit in this but struggling...

Hi all Not strictly DIY here but hoping someone with more knowledge can help me out. We moved into a a house (mid 90s) a few weeks back. Been riddled with problems. Today we are getting the boiler and radiators replaced, going from a standard boiler with hot water cylinder (mains fed, no...

Hi, thanks for the response. I agree that it wasn't water hammer as was most noticeable for a few mins after having a shower. So my thoughts (and I'm an admitted idiot when it comes to plumbing) are that it's connected to the stack (Incan hear water flow through it when I get someone to flush...

Hi all I've moved into a new house recently, for some reason the worktops are lower than average. I need to slot it into a recess with height of around 840mm. I've found a Bosch washing machine that's only slightly more than this. I've checked it in store and there's locking nuts on the...

Hi all Moved into new house a few weeks back. Since day 1 we've had an issue where when running any water in en suite we get this clicking/banging noise at high level but I feel like it's coming from the drain (pipe chase is in en suite). Separate to this there's been a weird thing where...

Great! So I need to prepare for a load more then? Basically I think they're coming in around the patio doors so need to work out the weak point Cheers for the reply

Hi all Not sure if this is correct place to post but hoping someone can help me. I've recently moved house, we found a load of mice droppings in loft and kitchen area. It seems it's hopefully an old infestation as there hasn't been any disturbing new traps etc. Last night before going to bed...

Cheers mate, much appreciated

Hi all I may be being stupid here but I can't get my head round it. We've just moved into a new (for us) house. It has a built in primo oven and separate built-in primo combination grill and microwave. This unit though has metal racks in it which I can't work out how it can then be used as a...
