Thank you all for your helpful comments.

Great thanks very much that's really helpful.

Thank you. So I'm still not sure if selecting a 8lpm offers any advantage/disadvantage over a 3.9lpm? Sorry if I'm being slow!

Thank you - the only mention of temp in any of the specs I've seen in the max water temp - which doesn't seem to vary much, but I haven't seen any breakdown for different flow rates. Cheers - you mean actually make the most of a very expensive Combi, you'll be suggesting they try turning on...

I'm trying to sort out a few tasks in my mother-in-law's house in a hurry... Going to pick up an electric shower tomorrow - will be installed by a plumber but I'm trying to work out which one to get. Current one looks to be 9.5kw but looking at this power rating at Screwfix there's still lots...

Sorry I failed to say thanks for all your advice.

Thanks - sorry missed your reply - what material did you use to create the overhang?

I've just turned the valve on the kitchen towel rail and it's immediately started leaking - probably the first time in years it's been moved. I've never done anything to radiators and will get a plumber in if I must but I've just spent a fortune on a new boiler recently (and then had to get...

Hi, I just wondered if anyone could advise... I put a playhouse up for my toddler about 18 months ago - it was a flatpack but supposedly a decent one. Unfortunately I've never got it quite watertight. Part of the problem is that the sloping roof doesn't overlap the walls so in a downpour all...

Just before Covid my mum got her kitchen done after 40 years of a rickety DIY job. On the whole everything seems very well installed with a few little annoying bits. There is a nice looking laminate floor but it's gone down over concrete (I assume underlay) and there are a few bits where they're...

Thanks for this. I think the tiles are newer than this - but I guess there's no way to know if there was a previous set of tiles fixed with bituminous adhesive which I'm going to find.

I've got myself very worried over the years at all the possible asbestos containing materials hiding in my house and now I've read about asbestos bitumen underneath tiles. I'm in the process of wondering what to do about some hollow/broken tiles and I've noticed this at the edge of some tiles at...

OK - was going to delete as have just found, but in case it's of any interest... Eaves Fillers! https://www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-Eaves-Fillers-for-Corrugated-Sheets-Pack-6/p/240165

After buying a (fairly decent if we're going by price) wooden playhouse and assembling it over the summer, it's been consistently leaking - the roof is sound, but the water runs off the sloping roof (no overhang) and down the playhouse wall and seeps in through various points. An obvious...

Thanks for your response - I've been looking at videos of toeing and heeling... But also thought that the hinges themselves could be adjusted to realign so not quite clear on the different approaches.

There's a gap in the top of my French doors I can put my finger through - I've been watching lots of videos and looking at the door mechanism itself. Originally I was convinced it was about making sure the door was square but now I'm thinking the hinge has dropped and now the lock mechanism...

We've been in our house for 4 years. We like the tiles in the kitchen but it looks like they've been a really bad DIY job, not completely flat, not a huge deal BUT there is movement in quite a few and some definitely sound hollow, some have cracked as I've stood on them or when something has...

Thanks all. I eventually got the grate off with the help of a couple of pan hooks stolen from the kitchen. Once I knew it was intended to be removed I could pull appropriately hard! I cannot believe how much was stuck in that drain, a bucketful of foul smelling decomposing waste. Thank goodness...

Thanks both. I'll try hooking it out before drilling.
