nobody trapped inside the room thankfully. Thanks for the response. I sprayed a crap load of WD40 down the side, I also used a much smaller pair of pliers in the square bracket in the door, I pulled a little bit. A tiny bit of metal fell off. I placed the handle back on the spindle and...

here's what the other bedroom door handle looks like. The square spinder won't even turn. I've even tried with pliers with all my strength :(

Hi, I closed my bedroom door entirely yesterday and now it won't open. I tried opening with force but it just won't budge. I removed the handle but can't see anything that will help me to force it open. Can you please advise which tools I would need to get in without damaging the door? Photos...

they are currently not in use and don't work as they've been shut off. Am I currently at risk of contamination?

thank you so much! it just confirms that I'm surrounded by incompetent "professionals". This has opened my eyes. thank you

Hi All, Hoping you friendly folk can help. I have 4 handheld bidets in my home. 1 has been installed correctly with a faucet (see photo), the other 3 have been connected directly to the pipe. This almost flooded my house! the 3 have been "disabled" now. I don't know what this means and how...

Hi All, I need to replace a garden fence panel, it's been on my to do list for over a year now :( I can get a 6x6 ft panel, but the replacement doesn't look so straight forward. Is anyone able to point me in the right direction please? I'm willing to give it a go myself, but not great at DIY...

thanks

Hi, My kitchen ceramic tap is constantly dripping. It makes a loud annoying whistling noise, which suggests that it's an actual water pressure issue. I opened the kitchen tap and checked the cartridge, the black rubber washer is slightly damaged, so I think it would be good to replace this as...

thanks all. I've only turned the valve on the outside white pipe, this has stopped water bursting out of the same external pipe. I wouldn't really be comfortable completely disconnecting it, I know I would make matters worse, so will call a plumber for this. Are you saying I should address the...

After I applied my Mr Burns strength and turned it as you suggested, it stopped the water. I love you, thank you. Definitely agree, not sure who installed the pipe, but will look at replacing in the new year.

Hi, We have a garden house at the side of the house. The white pipe (outside as shown in the photo) which supplies the water, burst over night and it is constantly spraying water from the crack. Is there a simple way to just isolate water going to this pipe? The only way I've managed to turn...

yep all sorted, other not so obvious screws needed to be removed first. God bless you guys.

Hi, I really need to remove 4 screws from my piano so it can be dismantled, can someone please help. I'm desperate. To confirm the screws have unscrewed with a screwdriver, the heads are not stripped in any way at all, it's loose and ready to come out, but it won't actually extract from the...

Hi, Please see photo attached. I have a large hole surrounding the pipework behind one of my bedroom radiators. What's the best method of filling this hole. Am I okay to use that expanding foam? Appreciate any advice.

thanks, if I've pulled out a wire from the bulb holder, is a new pendant my only option in this scenario?

Hi I just replaced a light shade in one of my bedrooms. Unfortunately I was a bit heavy handed removing the old light shade (the pendant cable twisted a couple of times). After replacing the light shade the light is no longer working! I tried the bulb in another room and it worked, confirming...

yeah I have a replacement catridge I need to install, thanks I'll give it a go.

hey thanks for the reply. So I should drill the chrome head off and damage it? How would I even go about drilling it off?

Title says it all, I've got a damaged/stripped screw head in my kitchen sink tap....bad times. See photo attached. I've tried different screwdrivers with a bit of force but that thing isn't coming out and I don't want to make it worse. How would you approach this horrible task. I've...
