    Leaking shower sealant gap

    Problem is this cabin has leaked even after I got it sealed by a plumber. I will do a more thorough job myself but wondering if it's worth taking it out and getting it refitted properly?

    Leaking shower sealant gap

    Some more pics of this as there are some pretty large gaps that I found when I got rid of all the old seal. Should I grout, then reseal then apply a plastic quadrant?

    Concealed cistern leak

    I have a concealed cistern. I opened the top and it seems the ball cock is not stopping the water flow, I tried lifting it up manually and the water does not stop. Picture attached. Is this an easy fix? Or do I need to get a plumber in. Thanks.

    Leaking shower sealant gap

    I have a shower that's leaks into kitchen below. I have tested the waste pipe and even after 30-45 mins of running water there is no leak. When I point the shower to two ends of the shower tray there is a leak. So I got a plumber to reseal (£££) and it didn't solve the issue, he's been 3 times...

    Lenovo X1 carbon (1st gen)

    I found this old laptop and it turned on ok. Thought I would run updates and there were regular windows ones and a bios update. Unfortunately I said yes to the bios update. Since then the power button turns green for about a second before it turns off. I can also hear the fan come on for about a...

    Door handle hard to operate

    Thanks Ronnie. I think you are right it's something when the door is shut because when it's open it's working fine. I will check the alignment first.

    Chimney draft and debris

    Thanks a lot for your response. That does sound like a significant amount of work which I don't think will be able to do myself. Would you tell me ballpark how much I should budget for this (SW London). Can I do it in steps over a few months or should it all be done in one go. Also if you have...

    Chimney draft and debris

    Hi, we have 5 fireplaces that are not used. There is no leak but we do sometimes see debris and also there is cold draft through them which can be heard when it's windy outside. There is one gas fireplace as well, we see debris come down in that fireplace too. No water in any of them. Attaching...

    uPVC door adjustment

    Thanks! It is rubbing against the threshold and there isn't the 6-7mm gap so it does look like the door has dropped. The door is held by three hinges which looks like the ones in the picture. Doesn't look like they have been touched in a while.

    uPVC door adjustment

    Hi All, on my patio door at the bottom of one door the lower metal part that extends when locking the door is sticking out a bit and it has a bit of play. So the door closes but needs a bit of a push or pull as it's not sitting flush. Can I adjust the height of this part so it doesn't stick out...
