Hi I have a bespoke kitchen door cut and ready to go onto the cabinet for my tumble dryer. It has to be pivot/slide as it needs to be open when the machine is in use for air cycling, and I don't want a big door just sitting open. I've researched in huge depth, but can't quite grasp enough...

Hi All I'm close to the end of a pretty successful extension, but there are a few bits and pieces I'm uncomfortable tackling my builder on without a bit of background knowledge. Specifically, the 'boxing in' of the cistern in our cloakroom isn't quite finished as it'll have a cupboard on...

Hi Currently I have my main phone socket with various splitters and microfilters which gives me my phone line, alarm phone line, plus 3 broadband cables to PS3, router and Sky. It all works a treat, but it looks like an modern art Lego installation, and the protrusion on the wall is now a...

Hi All I have a long standing and impossible-to-explain-factually problem whereby using any appliance in my loft en-suite creates a nasty smell in the kitchen. However, I'm not looking for answers to this in this forum as it's too difficult to explain and troubleshoot remotely. All obvious...

We have a loft bathroom, and whenever we use any of the facilities... flush, sink or shower, it creates a bad smell around the rest of the house. We have a Saniflo Pro, but have had it checked by a plumber and there is no fault there. We've also had it checked for leaks. I didn't think the...

That's interesting info, thanks! I guess I'll give them a call and see if I can get an engineer too... Many thanks all...

Thank you for your responses. I'm aware that there will be electrical work, which is why I'm after some instruction. I do not want to risk voiding my warranty by pulling apart the door without at least trying to find someone who can offer some instruction from experience. I probably could...

Thanks for your response, but as I said, there is nothing in the instruction manual. Not really sure why you're referring to page 3 specifically? The doors can be reversed, but the info that came with the appliance says to call Hotpoint for guidance. I was hoping someone could offer a more...

Hi Can anyone offer any advice or tips for reversing fridge doors with electrics in them? I have a Hotpoint FF200T, if that helps. Nothing in the instruction manual... Many Thanks Andy

My contract just states standard white, no brand. In comparison to the other fittings in my house, they're grey. I'll take a pic tonight against a sheet of paper so you can see the diff. It's obvious! Thanks John.

Thanks for your response. I don't know the make - nothing on the blank. The walls aren't pure white, they're a light shade, so it's not the paint causing an illusion.. The sockets are substantially darker - very noticeable indeed. If anyone looked at them and was asked the colour, they'd...

Hi All Just had a loft conversion completed, and only now I've decorated can I see that all the light switches and sockets appear a really nasty dark grey colour. Has anyone seen these before? My contract states white sockets, but I'm not sure whether these are actually grey sockets, or...

Oh I see... apologies. We're in Ealing, West London. That's a bit of a trek for you for a small-ish job I guess. Do you have a fixed charge per sq metre, out of interest?

Sorry - I'm a bit confused by both of your responses. I'm looking for some tips and contacts for finding someone who can strip the plaster off an internal wall back to the brickwork, and then clean up the bricks so they look like they've never been plastered. I'm having a loft conversion...

I'm looking for professionals who can remove plaster back to the original brickwork and restore it. It's internal and only a small area on one wall. Does anyone have any tips who to search for? Many thanks Andy

In case you were interested, I've had this fixed now. My electrician pulled the main house circuit board from the wall, and found all the wiring was pretty loose. After firming up all the connections the bedroom ring was operating as normal. He seemed quite surprised! Thanks for those of you...
