I am looking at colouring the table we have as its fading. I have tried a wood dye and some coloured wax but it just fades again quickly as I guess the wood is sealed? Is this type of table OK to sand down? top where the kids sit side of the leg, like new

My AEG dishwasher an f55002vi0p keeps coming up with a pressure sensor i40 fault casuing the drain pump to run all the time. I've taken the bottom of the unit and there was some water/yellow goo in the tray, it hadn't activated the polystyrene switch as I could push that up to check it was...

Could be the TV antenna then...this is where its located and the room is to the right and a few bricks lower. Its a long pole as we are blocked by hills but its not actually used due to having Sky so it could come down.

We have a 1970s house and on one spot we get these creaking noise when its windy, pretty much 24/7 at the moment, fun during the night. Its in the middle of the house inbetween the master bedroom and 2nd bedroom at the side of the house. Loft is wooden with the w type supports. Clearly...

I have a double length garage with a concrete base which seems to have a raked effect, see photos. I am trying to reduce dusting whilst hoping to level it off and paint it so its easier to clean. No cars go in the garage just road bikes and lawnmower and garden stuff, nothing heavy duty...

Ordered...cheers.

Before I begin a summer project of sorting the garage out I wanted to get some advice on preparing metal garage shelves that seem to have oxidized by the looks of it could be corrosion due to spillages. So I have initially sanded them down but there are still a lot of orange dust coming up. Is...

Cheers John, yes swelling that's the word. The sink is sealed, i think what has happened is when we wash up the water comes over the sink and runs under the edge of the worktop. So what's deal to seal that edge.

I have an earthstone work surface in the kitchen. Around the sink where water has run down and under sink when washing up the wooden bottom layer has started to warp. I tried to put some black filler to cover it as it's visible when you close the door. Sadly I don't think it's sealed to well...

I've got some crabtree platinum light switches and the other night the bulb went in one room. Now I have replaced the bulb with a working one but the actual push switch won't turn off, its like its got something behind it stopping it returning to the off position. any ideas?

Thanks for the reply, you were spot on, the connection to the busbar wasn't quite made. All good now. Thanks for the heads up, sparky went straight to it so fair play all round.

I have just had my kitchen refitted and during this had 6 downlights added. Ever since the new wiring went in, my downstairs lights have flickered(the new kitchen ones and the hall, living room and front room) and trip the consumer unit fuse. Its trips randomly, doesn't have to be a switch on r...

Having the kitchen redone and the old floor tiles have been removed leaving the black glue residue on the concrete floor. The smell is awful. Is there anything I can use to either remove it or maybe paint over to seal it as the new flooring is a vinyl click floor and I don't know if that will...

Right an update, Plumber sorted the reversed issue and sparky hadn't quite got his wires right. So now we can whack the boiler right up without problems, so thanks for everyone who made helpful comments, I learnt a lot during the course of this.

I think the reserve condition was probably there before. Having bought this house and having various work done I am thinking its been thrown together as quick as poss, typical 1970's job. Wiring is all done, sparky confirmed there aren't enough wires from each point-to-point and whoever had...

I bled the high rad in the bathroom, at first black water came out then it ran clear after a few seconds. OK wiring has been done and it no different as expected. Current thinking is its reversed circulation. Tested the pipes and Flow and return are reversed interms of temps. Being drained...

Nice one. Rads have heat at the bottom just warmer at the top, will mention balancing. The highest rad in the ensuite is full, no air in that. Whats the typical time for a normal system to need to bleed? Just thinking if I have a small leak somewhere thats just letting in air rather than...

Ta, one of the rads that is colder at the bottom is a brand new one replaced on the same day, would this sludge up so quick? It does have a TRV fitted on this one, if that makes a difference.

Tony, out of the top of the boiler, 2 pipes one marked F and the other R, so I guess Return and Flow, the Feed is the hottest, just read the commissioning book, Flow was 72degc and Return 56degC
