    Basic question: what's this part called please!?

    Our washing machine inlet hose is connected to it. In an attempt to turn the water off to the machine (for a separate repair!), I've found out that turning the lever doesn't actually stop the water - there's still a drip from the end of the pipe. I'll be able to repair it myself, if I know the...

    Grout or silicone in leaky marble-tiled shower?

    Hi all My old marble-tiled shower (pictured) is leaking from the gaps between the tiles. I think it's mainly coming from the hairline gap that runs along the bottom edge of the tiles, where they meet the shower tray, but I'm gonna re-do the whole lot anyway. My plan is to use an oscillating...

    Blinds for windows in conservatory roof

    Cheers, some of these solutions are really interesting. I did think about the film, but the reduction in light (particularly in cooler months) is something we definitely don't want (the light makes the room, essentially).

We're keeping the angled windows in the roof though... So what are the options for us installing blinds in the angled windows in the roof? Is...

    What finishing solution for top of wardrobe?

    It does, because I need the space to install the coving. The coving is 10cm in height, and needs about a 14cm gap from ceiling to project the light. Additional storage as you described was one option, but I like the idea of wraparound coving lighting

    What finishing solution for top of wardrobe?

    Hi all Mid-way through floor-to-ceiling walk in wardrobe build (two rows of stacked units, built on a ladder frame, and battened to the walls). Wondering what to have at the top of the wardrobe, bearing in mind I'll eventually be attaching LED coving to the front (so I can have integrated...

    Thanks. The idea of verticals attached to floor/ceiling frame makes sense :D I'll give it a bash

    How to make floor-to-ceiling wardrobe column secure

    Hi all As part of a walk-in-wardrobe build, I want a column of shelves sandwiched between two wardrobes in a corner ('column C' on the picture) The wardrobes are floor-to-ceiling, sturdy, and attached to the walls with battens. Although sturdy, unlike the wardrobes, Column C obviously doesn't...

    Is there an electrical supply to FM/TV socket

    Hi all. I'm removing the housing of the pictured FM/TV socket to make way for a wardrobe sitting directly against the wall. Do these sockets have an electrical supply to them, and is there anything I need to consider to 'make safe' before it's simply plastered/covered over? Thanks

    Disgusting-looking toilet issue that isn't actually disgusting

    Help! An upstairs toilet that never gets used looks like this (attached). It looks dirty, but actually isn't. It seems to be stained or scuffed or something, below the water line. Can anyone help identify the problem, please? Thanks
