We had a new shower put in by our Letting Agent's odd-job men, to replace the old shower that had some leaking issues to the flat downstairs. I noticed they used Dowsil 796 Neutral Silicone designed for PVC, glass and brickwork. How worried should I be? Will it get really moldy? Or leak...

Thanks for the tip Rob

Oh nice one! That was really simple. Thanks

Hi Thanks The Real Pin and Just Pumps do you mean like this? DSC_0600 by Sticklebricks posted 26 Jul 2017 at 11:45 AM Weird how the 'plumber' from the letting agent couldn't sort this out!

My washing machine has a tendency to fill up with dirty water after use. Told the letting agent and someone came round to fix it. They said there was a problem with the under sink plumbing. In the end they didn't do much to it and it is better than it was but instead of getting rid of the...

Thanks Lucid. I'll buy a UK figure 8 wire and check the cables at the back. Plus I'll investigate the wall socket. Cheers

Hello, My stereo switches on fine and will start playing music, but the power always cuts out suddenly after a few minutes. This started happening a while ago but it seemed to get a lot better when I bought a new adapter plug for it. (It has a European plug so it comes with a Euro to UK...

I havr tried other sockets and it is generally more reliable on other sockets. then I bought the new plug adapter and that seemed to solve it. Now a few months later it has started happening again. Do you think it is more of an electric problem?

Thanks sfor you imput. Yes! I strongly suspect the premises were converted into their current state by no-one with any cometence. I rent one of the flats, just moved in. My landlords told me that the electic meter was mine and thta the other flats had theirs inside. When I moved and went to take...

The red and black cables go into a box thing (the ones painted white). Inside the box they feed into a big cable which heads out the wall, but appears to be cut off outside. (see the pictures) Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by CUs? My buidings has four floors. the bottom floor is a...

I want to fit another meter. I have been told I can only do this if there is a three phase supply.

Hello everyone, I am trying to find out if I have a one pase supply or a 3 phase supply so I can try to get a seperate meter fitted for my flat. Currently there only seems to be one. These are a couple of pictures I took of the electirc cupboard. There are three fuse boxes (one is out of...

They are three pin sockets. The largest load I plug in would be my PC and printer, my Mac or a rather unweidly and large stack stereo system.
