    Internal ultility and toilet

    Do you mean "Can you put drains to a room that does not have an external wall?" What is the floor type? Can you go under it? Can you afford to excavate a trench in a solid floor and make good? Could you box-in a wall run drain across from the WC via the kitchen and could you afford the work and...

    The options given are "Ad covers this page" or "Report this ad." Clicking on the options does not improve matters. The problem seems to resolve when all the ads on the page have displayed, but this means waiting after every page change

    how to remove unused telephone wiring

    OK. For that socket, just trace back the cable and remove it. When you come to removing other sockets, though, they may have an incoming cable and an outgoing cable daisy chaining to another socket that you wish to keep. If there is only one cable to a socket, you can remove it. Suggest that you...

    how to remove unused telephone wiring

    The master socket is the one that the outside wiring from BT leads to first. I suggest that you locate the outside cable and then follow it. There are several types of master sockets and their front plates. Perhaps Google for photos, but only the more recent ones will be readily identifiable...

    New House.... New Boiler

    You need the system checking out. If the divertor valves are faulty (a common failing) then the boiler can receive a call for heat and come on, even though the hot water/radiator controls are set to off. As a DIY job it is an easy fix, but you do need to understand the system and the control...

    Water leaking from side of bath

    make sure that you have good evidence from the independent guy that the pipe inserts were missing. Why, though, are you not just using your insurance to sort it out?
