Hi Apologies for any misunderstandings: very little plumbing experience. I recently had my first service in my first home. The boiler is a 16 year old Worcester. The British Gas engineer who came out for its first service since I bought the house removed a lot of gunk from inside it. He...

Apologies. In the garage which is half brick and half wood.

Hi all I'm having a built in wardrobe done soon (although being messed around somewhat as it keeps getting pushed back). The guy fitting it is planning to put on bifolding doors which are going to have full length mirrors on them. I queried whether this would be too heavy for the hinges but he...

There are cables still in. I just told an electrician what I was having and he said this would be the most economical way to move the socket out the way.

Needs to be flush to minimise cutting into one of the support beams 'apparently'.

Hi all My garage door us leaking in at the bottom in heavy rain. I was somewhat thankful it wasn't the roof when I found the puddle. Any advice for a quick or at least economical fix? https://imgur.com/a/Rpfhd9L https://imgur.com/a/EsIjnVR

Hi all - I have just bought a house with a double drive but only a small part of the kerb is dropped at the end. I can pull two cars on but it's a bit of a 5 point faff for one of the cars due to this limited access. Would you recommend applying for permission to do the rest of the kerb and do...

Hi all https://imgur.com/a/BkEaiug Just bought a house with this combi in it. It's 16 years old bur working fine. Do I stick with it till it packs in or replace? Would there likely be a significant monthly saving with a new boiler? Any advice on what to do and which model to get, if...

Hi all I am having a built in wardrobe and have had to have a socket removed out of the path of a support beam. Is there anything flush I could cover it with or would you recommend leaving as is or making any changes. Electrician who took it out said to just put a piece of thin board over...

Hi - would you recommend lagging these to avoid freezing or any other modifications? https://imgur.com/a/T4v3d0D Pipes outside front door. https://imgur.com/a/ThliqYR Garage pipes - previous owners had washing machine and tumble dryer here. https://imgur.com/a/s4RCSfp Garage doors -...

Hi all - I have moved into a house where the previous occupants have had the washing machine outside - there are these pipes within the kitchen. Can I just connect up to these or do I have to make any checks/do anything to make these safely usable? I also cannot see a power outlet to connect...

I'm actually mostly using gas

That's good enough for me folks. Will not entertain the idea. Thanks for the advice.

Hi all https://imgur.com/a/RJGwi4C I have just bought a house with a drain/grid in the garage which holds water close to the surface. I removed some of this yesterday and it has since refilled almost complete. It never seems to overflow so I wondered: is this normal or does it need some...

https://imgur.com/a/DDDMfTc I am planning on putting a fitted wardrobe in this space. Can anyone foresee this could be difficult or problematic for a novice. I don't mind getting a joiner in but quotes have been in the region of 4K and it would be a 6 door unit due to the width of 4 metres.

Hi all Could anyone advise of any potential structure problems with having a fitted wardrobe within this space. https://imgur.com/a/DDDMfTc I have been quoted between £1500 - £2000 depending on whether I have chipboard, MDF or mirrored. Does that seem reasonable? Many thanks

Hi all I have covered porch/drive which I am guessing is unsafe to BBQ under due to the risk of fire? https://imgur.com/a/mbeLH6Y

Thank you for that. That certainly is a relief.
