Sorry to hear that your in laws got burgled last week. Please don't panic and rush into buying an alarm system. Ask your insurance company about recommending a certain alarm. But also ask them about your monthly premiums. You will see that there is hardly any difference between having an alarm...

Our main toilet is about 5 years old and was installed by the previous owner. This morning after one family member had deposited their matter in the toilet and flushed; the water rose almost to the top of the toilet bowl. I just rolled up my sleeve and put my arm in to give the matter a little...

I would go for Miele any time. Mine is 20 years old and still going strong. I know they are quite pricy but worth it. Some of my friends bought cheap machines at the same time and are now on their third one (so called bargain ones).

We had new stair carpet (100% wool) fitted yesterday. The underlay is Axfelt 65 and it's absolutely brilliant. It feels like walking 'on air' and it really cuts down on noise.

Thanks for your replies. Yesterday morning we found a stain round the light fitting in kitchen. Turned the elec. off, it dripped for about 2 minutes and then more or less stopped. I took the bathroom floor up (lino on nailed down plywood) but found nothing. I finally found the leak in the...

We have got a Howdens kitchen but Neff appliances. The builder who fitted the kitchen advised against Diplomat. In his own house he has had lots of problems with D. appliances.

Our third bedroom is 2,5x2,5m. Original floorboards from 1930s are dirty with some spilled paint. Would it be possible to clean them by using a small handheld sander? Tried coarse sandpaper but it's an extremely slow job. Thanks for any help.

If you can't get the Fensa certificate you will have to contact building control at your local council. Somebody will come out and if everything is all right will issue a certificate. Cost about £50.

Miele any time. They are expensive machines but last. My M. is 19 years old and I had to have one repair 10 years ago costing £20. My mother's Miele was 25 years old and still working perfectly when she died.

We need a new bay window and wanted the frame white outside and light oak finish inside. We were told by several companies that it would not be a problem. We are now told that it is only possible to have the oak finish on the outside frame and white inside. Ha anybody had the same problem...

Forgot to mention that after is was installed the low water pressure sign was on constantly. The plumber who had installed the shower had tightened the screws of the back plate too tightly causing the plate to buckle and effect the water intake.

We have got a Triton T80xr 9,5 shower. Our water pressure is similar to yours but the shower is working fine.

Our bathroom is very small and we just had vinyl put down. It was done by a professional (£40) and well worth it. It warm underfoot, easy to clean and hygienic. Don't go for bathroom laminate it looks cheap and artifical.
