So I need to get the 12 year of plumber back to fix it the builders got to do it. Thanks. I know what to tell them now.

No other taps do it. It doesn't drip and yes it's the hot tap. Sorry I should have mentioned these points. Thanks so much for your help.

Thanks for your reply. It's a combi. Pressure is good.

Hi folks, anyone know why this tap bangs at certain flow rates? The pipes underneath are banging the tap itself isn't. It's incredibly annoying. Video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hC7PE0MVuvI

What the thing I nearly killed myself painting this summer? No idea.. Blame the @sshole who rendered a nice brick Victorian school in the 70's. LOL Picture taken when we first moved in and spend every living breathing second doing DIY. In the whole picture it looks ok. I've since painted the...

Yeah I think it is lead over tile. So I should get my roofer buddy from the pub to come and rip them off and do it again properly with soakers?

Hmm.... thanks for all your feedback. So what woudl you do if you were me? Should I get a roofer to rip up the tiles down the side of the chimney and start again? I was acutally up there in the summer replacing the TV arial (I didn't take Emu with me) and the render looks good.

It's totally bonkers... I just went up again. Felt feels totally dry, plasterboard on the back feels like it could be slightly damp. Very sublte though. No sign of anything. Picture makes the wet look worse than it actually is. It doesn't look as dark in real life. Don't know what the hell...

Thanks for your reply. Yeah loft space is low please see attached pics. You can see white water marks but they are dry!

Hi Folks, We have a damp problem around the base of the chimney stack. Now you would think that its coming in around the flashing of the chimney however after heavy rain I have just been up there and it is totaly dry?!?! We had a dry spell a few weeks ago and it was still damp. I have had...

Thanks folks. I decided to dig up the drive and use this: http://www.screwfix.com/p/prysmian-lv-armoured-3-core-black-2-5mm-50m-cable-reel/28160

I'll get the 2.5mm 3 core. Thanks again.

The garage has about 4 double sockets a few lights and two exterior lights. Is 1.5mm 3 core cable suitable? The sockets will never all be used at once.

Wonderful. Thanks folks!! :) Ideally I would dig a trench and lay an armoured cable but thats going to be expensive! I'll go ahead and order that stuff.

Hi Folks, A lorry hit a wire going from the house to the garage a few months back when we had an extention done. Please see attached picture. I don't think the wire is damaged and the one that supports it was already down. Can anyone tell me what kind of electrical cable I should buy to...

Great advice thank so much for your help.

Hi Folks, I'm in the process of fitting a new kitchen. It's been fairly simple but I just need to check something with you kind peeps about the height of the integrated dishwasher and fridge. I have tried to get them both nearly as high as the worktop is going to be. Is that right? I had...

Was afraid someone would say that. We'll have to get it moved... jesus I'm running out of money. Kitchen extention has almost bankrupted me. Other sockets in stupid places too. I manage to hire a moron every time and I haven't taken the cheap options.

Hi Guys! My sparkie has put a socket in the new kitchen for dish washer and fridge exact;y behind the middle of where the fridge is supposed to go! This means the integrated fridge won't fit as it is too deep with the plug on. WHat should I do? 1. Get the socket moved? 2. Change...

Hi Maz, which route did you take?
