Hi Over the past few years the floor in garage have eroded Away not sure why but want to patch it up without replacing the whole floor. What can I use to repair solidly that won’t crack easily? Thanks

Hi, want to hard tile the garage floor rather than soft mat it or paint it. Hopefully make the cleaning of it a lot easier than the rough concrete surface. I don’t think there is a dpm under the concrete but will have to use the SLC to get it all level first. Is there any advice before I put...

Hi, Recently have had an issue with this washing machine where it would stop on the start of the spin cycle, say 15 minutes before the end and then just like pause. Checked online and went into the diagnostic mode (pressing the rightmost buttons, powering on and then pressing P) and it shows no...

Hi all Started to get a leak from underneath this boiler last few days. The pressure isn’t dropping on the system so assume it’s the inlet that’s leaking. Water is clear-ish as well. I’ve opened it up and taken some pics of the leak below to see where the leak is coming from. Any advice...

Hi, got this extractor fan installed in bathroom. It’s about 3 years old. The 3rd we’ve had since we brought it as every one develops this fault. It has a humidistat which kicks in and operates as normal. But after a few mins it kind of grinds to a halt and then it sounds like it’s struggling to...

Hi, I have a Texecom Premier Elite, normal setup with no contact sensors or fobs, just PIRs. So when i activate the alarm and get the message 'Area in exit A', sometimes it stays on this and the tone never stops so assume the alarm never sets. What i think it could be is that when i walk to the...

Hi, I have this lock on the bathroom door but want to change it to a thumb lock (is that what you call it) where there is no actual key, just a turning knob. I don’t suppose there is a way to change it without changing the handle?

Hi, I have a back door and over the weekend noticed that there is a gap at the top where the door meets (or is supposed to meet) the rubber seal. I can feel a draft and can also slide a card into the gap. I have adjusted doors in the past to align them vertically but never had to close the gap...
