Not necessarily - Easy enough when it's growing in soil, but the roots can go quite deep into walls or paving, and unless you get it all out it can regenerate from quite small fragments. It's not as bad as :twisted: Japanese Knotweed :twisted: though. True :D Note to ub7rm - cut off the...

It's Buddleia (Buddleia davidii), a prolific self-seeder, grows anywhere, a bugger to get rid of but good for butterflies. Cutting it back to ground level in Feb/March will keep it manageable, but if you want to get rid, try spraying fresh spring growth with Roundup (or other Glyphosate-based...

Hi feather It's a while since I last visited this forum, so apologies for late answer. I'm not sure what you mean by "naked" jasmine, do you mean Jasminum nudiflorum (aka Winter Jasmine)? If so, it flowers from December to March, which sounds about right for yours. More info here...

The boiler says "British Gas CDi series". do you need more than that? There's a remote control thermostat, but neither me nor landlord can figure out how it works and he's lost the manual. It's currently showing 14C, which is comfortable. there is some, but i can't get into the loft to...

I wish I'd asked this question in November. I'm unemployed, living in rented accommodation, desperate to keep my gas bill down. The last one was a shock, and my heart sank when they announced the latest price rise (I'm with npower). I'm in a 3 bed end-of-terrace, it seems fairly well...

No, but I used the sink a couple of times when I got back, before I remembered to check the machine :roll: I'll talk to Landlord about the valve, but as the house is up for sale and I'll be moving out in the next 2-3 months, he probably won't think it worth the hassle :( Thanks for...

Thanks Minton. I followed your advice before I went away for the hol. but I've returned to find it didn't work. The plumbing is as you describe, but because the machine is located beneath a work-surface next to the sink, it is impossible to raise the pipe more than a couple of inches higher...

Hi, I'm new here, just need a quick bit of advice. I live in rented accommodation. My landlord has, somewhat reluctantly (we're on good terms but he's a tight-fisted old so-and-so), provided a second hand w/m (Bosch Maxx) which has been running fine until recently. It's now developed a fault...
