Cheers everyone for their replies, much appreciated.

We're currently having a reroof and upstairs conversion job done. The builder is also decorating and so far has been excellent. We have a stretch of hallway leading to the stairs which is approx 10ft long x 4ft wide. The walls of this are a bit uneven to say the least so he has offered if we...

Does anyone know of a company/website that supplies wardrobes for rooms with restricted headroom? By that I mean we have just had our upstairs gutted and rebuilt, the main bedrooms are 18x10, at each end it slopes down - the walls at either end will house the eaves so we have the option of...

Hi there I have a combi boiler which is approx 15 years old, and over the past few years I have noticed that the water pressure gradually drops but over a period of probably a few weeks. On our Annual Service I always point it out and the chap always says something technical along the lines of...

Hi there, for some time we have suffered from flickering lights in our bungalow. It appears to be only the ceiling lights, ie not lamps, nor any other electrical equipment, apparantly. It seems to come and go, we can sit there at night and the light will sort of dim and come back about twice a...
