Hi I'm purchasing a house that has a very old oil boiler which I'm looking to replace. I've noticed the placement of the oil tank doesn't meet current regulations. If I change the boiler can the job be signed off or will the tank have to be moved too to comply? Thanks

Thanks for you prompt reply So obviously my assumption that if I pay more I get a better product proved to be false. I'm puzzled as to how it can have so many good reviews? So it's just a case of it not moving enough air and not that it could be faulty. The more powerful Manrose fan you...

Hi I wanted advice on whether I have installed this fan incorrectly or whether it may be faulty. The fan I replaced (different make model) was getting rather noisy and worked reasonably well but was still leaving some moisture in the bathroom. It's ceiling fitted. The wiring in the ceiling...

Don't keep the windows open on that side as it seems to draw in more smoke from the neighbours :-( No chimneys on shared walls. Haven't checked the loft yet Yes it was originally one detached house that has been split in to two. Thanks for your help

Hi I live in a Victorian semi-detached house which was originally one property and I'm looking for advice on how can I stop cigarette smoke coming through the walls (or possible any other shared parts, loft, floorboards etc) as my neighbour is a very heavy chain smoker. Thank You

How much would an air source heat pump conversion cost roughly? Thanks

I did ask how much the electricity bills were and the vendor was hesitant but he explained it was a second home and wasn't always occupied so it wouldn't be a true reflection of normal running costs. The house looks to be quite high spec all round (it's been completely renovated). Good quality...

Thanks for the reply. After some thought I realised the simplest solution was just to replace the screws with self tapping ones.

I have a leisure EB10 CRX cooker and needed to replace the roller catch so I took off the door together with the hinges after watching a youtube video and replaced the catch. I now know why the guy said just loosen the hinges and lever off the door. It appears that there are plates behind the...

I seriously overfilled a repair with two part wood filler and have tried sanding it with my electric sander using P40 but it's not doing much. What's the best tool / method to use please? Thanks

Thanks for the prompt reply. Out of interest, why doesn't setting the heating to off on the programmer turn it off if the valve is stuck on? Thanks

Noticed that it was getting rather hot in the house. I have programmable Horstmann room stats one upstairs and one downstairs both set at 20 but noticed the bottom one showing 21.5 and the rads very hot and boiler running. I also turned down my hot water cylinder stat but boiler kept running. I...

So......... Roughly how many hours work would you say it is? Roughly what's the cost of the materials? As I said I'm not looking for an exact quote....

The load should be plenty enough as it's 32A and only running some lighting at the moment. I'm only looking for a ballpark figure really. What's the price with and without RCD at the outbuilding end?

Hi I live in South East England. Can somebody give me a rough idea what this work should cost. I want to run some power to an outdoor wooden garden shed. I have a timber framed car port which already has a consumer unit. It needs 15m of wiring inside the car port which I’m happy just to be...

It was already tripping the electrics before I tilted it.
