I have noticed the roofs slightly dipping inside near the windows and widows hard to open. I’ve looked at every house along the line and the are all the same, exactly. The picture I’ve posted is of two rooms, a box and a double. Between the rooms is a solid wall, grey block that rests on the...

Comes with a rubber washer… will the fitter even need the connector, or will he/she just connect directly to the angle.

Thank you… the cost just made me think it was something special…

B I’ve had a smeg hob in the box for a long time, p705 it’s all fitted and I will call a gas safe to connect it. Will the guy normally cave the connector on the van/with him (I’m saying is it standard ? The reason is the hob has a male stub coming out of it and the manual says it needs “1/2...

Can someone point me in the direction of a decent short pile 9” gloss roller for oil based satin wood, I’ve looked around and it seems avoid foam for large flat areas.. I’ve got toolstation, wickes, crown close by (screwfix don’t do them) The only one in toolstation that says solvent is...

Hello, Mid 50’s house, around the outside brick pillars I can see a DPC 100% about 2 rows of bricks up. Inside solid concrete floor, did have bitumen and parquet. Dry and dusty. Someone said that they only put DPC on the outside perimeter in them days, and the bitumen on the floor was the...

I have swapped the old wall light for an led hands free light I was given, it’s brand new in the box. The old light was wired into the upstairs lighting circuit and was fine (lights are Led downlights) After fitting it and turning the power back on, the led ceiling lights upstairs won’t turn...

Screed repair, a cement slurry mix, I have read two different things? One says, while it is still tacky apply your sand/cement mix Another says let it dry overnight before sand and cement? What is correct with a slurry please and why? Thank you

Yes it’s concrete, it’s a poor bond, is that sharp sand I use 3/1. With the slurry some say let it dry overnight some say tacky ? It’s a little confusing. Thank you very much for the reply

I am going to be self level the floor prior to wood flooring. There was a patch that had been done before, it had a few cracks and sounded hollow, so I’ve taken it up, it’s chunks of around 25mm that came up. Probably be just under a metre square when all dug up. I noticed that the cement that...

Thanks, yes it was old gas to a back boiler...I cut it out. Thank you all.

This would be the feed in from the street (water) so why would it rise. Yes cross threaded!!! Why would it leak water not gas? Thank you..

Trying to think a way of testing .

Yes I cleaned it, as was going to self level/prime. So this is defiantly not water? I don’t need it as there is 22mm running direct to the boiler.

Ok it’s under a concrete floor so not easy, it has the letter C stamped on the elbow. I’ve tried running the cold tap, it’s silent.

I don’t I saw just asking why some use sharp and some use plastering sand. I noticed sharp is a lot more gritty. Under a front door step and bottom of a garden wall. Thank you

Been asked many times, still a confusion. Ok outside wall render, lots say use sharp sand others say plastering sand! I have the bags of tarmac sharp sand, there are some fairly big bits in it as normal, so it’s fairly gritty, why do some just use this, it’s not as smooth. I also have a bag...
