Hey all I had the bath replaced with a shower unit a couple of months ago, it included retiling. My main motive was that the Mrs struggles getting in and out of the bath. Job looked fine, but to be honest i regret having a 3/4 length screen instead of a cubicle as you have to be really careful...

New bathroom, simple job- screw in a caddy... I will silicone it, but i am definitely in the doghouse

Hey all In the middle of the current storm i have not one but two leaking points on the flat roof. I had a quick look in the storm to see if any tiles had fallen onto the flat roof, but cant see any. I wasn't able to properly get on the roof however due to the wind so it could have been...

Hi Guys We decided to replace our gas cooker as it is working but ancient, but were told we needed to move the socket as it was above the cooker- fair enough. The electrician completely disconnected everything from the old socket (there is just a hole there now) And rerouted the cabling, he...

We finally got our decommissioned gas fire removed today, big hole in the wall as a result! I noticed there is a vertical crack running up the breeze blocks behind where the gas fire and old back boiler used to sit... , as shown on photo No idea how long its been like this as old gas fire...

Hi All Had a new boiler 18 months ago, but not really seen pipe work as i keep laundry in there I cleared out the laundry today and saw this green stuff on the pipes, presumably flux? Is this dangerous? will it be corroding my pipes and how do i get it off if so? i have texted the plumber who...
