I realise this is probably super simple for most, but I haven't fitted one before and i'm being cautious ! I bought a briggs mixer tap, it has no instructions for the bag of bits. I have a slim circular washer which i think goes on the top of the sink under the tap? The other two are for under...

No water in the drum, just a sodden (and I don't think washed) pile of clothes!

Hi, my Indesit has been a bit noisy on spin, but last night was so thunderous i had to switch it off. I switched back on and it finished the cycle. Today it washed, made a noise as if to spin but didn't go any further. I switched off and tried spin alone, but nothing, the drum i can turn by...

Thanks John, I'm thinking a new tap would be cheaper than buying all those for a pretty old mixer tap

Hi, my tap is dripping from the spout, when I push the cold tap forward a tiny bit it stops, but not if I push the hot. Does this mean I need a valve for the cold tap? Thankyou, Jeanette TV

Hi, I'm trying to reach the backof my garden with the jetwash,about 45/50 feet, to jetwash the path. When I connect the garden house to it to reach I get very little pressure. It's perfect on the patio with a short connection to the tap.

I normally let it rise to 1.5 or. 2, I accidentally let it go to 3. Is it safe to switch on?

Thanks for the reply, I guess I may have to use pvc, I liked the idea of chippings though .

Hi, thanks for the reply I attached a pic, the house render looks lovely and clean, this edge of the porch bit lets it down I think, they left me some of the chippings and I bought render repair mortar. I just wanted the edge to have stone chips so it blended in to the house front better...

Hi, I had my house insulated and rendered, but have a flat porch at the door and would like to pebbledash the lip of the porch. The porch has roofing felt on it which overlaps the facing edge. I have bought render cement/stones will this stick to the felt/stone?

Thanks guys, I have well seasoned floorboards. I would rather not open the floor, so will wait until its dry.

Hi, my stopcock has been leaking, probably over a month, Lifted the flooring, plumber repaired the leak, I dried off the floor with hairdryer so I could see if it leaked again. Heating has been on for 3 days and it feels ok, is that long enough drying out...

Thanks for all your help and advice guys :) Life was less complicated when I tiled the bathroom previously I didn't know about pva, they did stay up 20yrs til I took them down, maybe luck! Was some job getting them off though. I have bought Mapei Mapegrip Plus, its water based does that...

Wow,thats much longer than I thought. The plaster is mostly a skim of 5-10mm, a few deeper patches and its a warm room. I was hoping 7-10 days would do

Hi I applied acrylic pva to dry, have put second coat on, how long will I need to leave the plaster before tiling. Im using light tiles 200x100. Thanks Jeanette

Hi, I'm having new external insulated render fitted, some render was removed, some plastered over ( sound enough i'm told), but some has had the insulation fitted to it as is. I'm a little worried as I've read the render should all be plastered to make a smooth base for the insulation. There...

I live in a downstairs flat which doesnt seem to hold the heat much! I have suspended ceiling in the b/r, bathroom and kitchen (wood) there is a cavity of prob 5/6 " between this and original ceiling, can i install some insulation in this space? It would be a bonus if it dulled sound too as even...
