Hi. I am a landlord and rent a bungalow from the 30’. EICR done in 2018 showed only 2 C3. New EICR done last week came back with 13 C2 and 25 C3. A bit of a shock to the system! This has been done by the electrician (big company in Leatherhead) of the estate agent. Agent had asked a quote from...

Hi, We have a 3 years old walk in shower. The silicone between the tiled floor and the tiled walls was getting black and we decided to change it. When we removed it the silicone was properly wet on its hidden side. I would like to think that this is just water which had leaked under the tiles...

Hello, Back with my crack in granite. My local granite repair expert came to see and say that he can fill the crack but not polish as the repair would not be water resistant. All that for £150. I don't know what to sink about that. I have contacted 2 other specialists: MagicMan, who said they...

Hi, I fixed my problem by unscrewing the rail and turned it around right to left, left to right, which seems to work fine as the undamaged part of the rail is placed now where the bi-fold door hangs. Harry, I tried to straighten it out but the metal was so hard that it did not go back to its...

Hello, Yes, this is what I would like to do but where can I find such a track kit? I don't want to have to change any bits on the door or on the floor as I have a nice laminate flooring which would be damaged. Are all the kits similar, just need the rail? Wickes' ones are out of stock, where...

Here are the pictures. Subtle damage from the second screw till the end of the rail which is over 20cm. Enough for the door not to stay in place when you want to pull it open full or close back. I tried to straighten with pliers but the metal is so hard that it does not move, I'll break the...

Hi, I bought 4 years ago an internal bi-fold door at Wickes, like that : https://www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-Wob...ed-6-Panel-Internal-Bi-fold-Door/p/9000187561 My tenants managed to twist and deform the top rail. Although Wickes sells a replacement track kit, it has been out of stock for months...

Can anyone say please where I can find a replacement track for my door? Thanks. Letty

Johnny, Yes, I read that somewhere but matt created the imperfections which were not there before. I ruined my walls which were perfectly smooth and flat. Now it looks like I applied paint with a trowel. Would it be another way to correct it? My main problem is in my corridor on the wall...

Hello, Thank you both for your answers. You are right to say that it is very thick and I am going to dilute it a bit for a 3rd corrective coat. If it does not work, I think that I will use a mid-sheen over it. It's a disaster, I am bothered. I wanted to be trendy using matt, silly me.

Hi, I am in the process of painting a few rooms all re-plastered. Bought some Trade Leyland matt white emulsion. Did undercoat with a mix 50% emulsion 50% water and all went very well. Next day 1st proper coat, no problem and then my 2nd coat ended up in a disaster. The walls against the light...

Hi, Old Villeroy & Boch whirlpool bath is unreliable. The small control panel shows: * power light is on: red light when no water, green light when there is water in the bath reaching above the jets. * all the other buttons are off and not working and I cannot start the whirlpool. It was...

Thank you. He has the packers.

Hello @domdee, Drilling the joists is a good idea. He will try that. Thank you.

Hello, Ok for the damp proof material. The cut over the center of the wall: did not do that because the new joist is not exactly of the same size than the old one, could not find that anywhere. So we thought we had to level the new one the way it shows on the picture. Husband browsing internet...

Hello, My husband tries to reinforced some joists in a stripped small bathroom. Some parts were rotten due to years of leakage. He plans to install new pieces of wood on each sides of the old joists and to attach the all thing with some coach bolts. First joist: the drill bit is too small to...

Hello, I am in the process of improving the drain. I have uncovered the air brick and will make nice around it. As advised, I will re-organise the plastic waste pipes (will join the 2 in 1) and make it go through the gully grid to avoid any further flooding due to dirty grid. The grid is metal...

Hi, Has someone heard or used this to hold a undermount sink in place: Hercules sink harness? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hercules-Universal-Sink-Harness-Improvement/dp/B00S52LHG6 My "granite and marble repair" man cannot repair the sink, I am planning then to do it myself with my husband. Would...
