thank you very much. That is very helpful. the laminate floor goes under the kitchen cabinets, which would need to be removed. I would like to avoid an expensive and time consuming solution if I can and fix it so that it lasts for 6 months or so. After that, I am planning on redoing the...

hi, I have no idea what is underneath as the flooring was inherited. thanks.

Hello, The inter-locking between 2 laminate floor boards in my kitchen is broken. I can also feel a slight movement in the underlay beneath the boards. Picture is attached. Is there any way to fix without repairing the all of the boards from one corner? is there a quick fix? thanks.

Hi there, Many thanks for that. Sorry to keep asking stupid questions but why do I need unsoftened water supply to kitchen tap? Is it harmful to drink softened water? I don't like limescale building up in my hot water bottle or iron so would ideally like to have softened water in the kitchen...

Hi, Thanks for so many responses. I don't have a wooden floor in the WC (it is covered by tiles). I guess what my question should have been, "Based upon where my incoming water pipe is located, what is the best course of action to take to get soft water (salt / chemical / electric etc.)...

Hi, Many thanks for the quick response. I have found 2 of those in the downstairs WC. Is this the place from where the entire house's water supply is being supplied? If this is it, can anybody advise me what are my options for installing hard water removal solutions for the entire...

Hi, I specifically asked the electrician to check the wiring. The invoice states: "Verify and reconnect oven wiring and inspect and test oven. Installation of main oven element". What do you suggest I do now? Thanks.

Hello, As the title suggests, I have a WC with a tank which is well hidden behind a wooden panel, with a marble slab on top. There is no opening available to lift the marble and gain access to the tank. It is locked pretty tightly. The flush handle (which is accessible through a tight hole...

Ok, thanks. I have turned off the power switch to the cooker and am calling an electrician.

Hi, Thanks for everyone's help and concerns. I managed to unplug the wires and fit them in the connection strip. The electricity was turned back on and the RCD did not trip. So, I guessed that the cooker was faulty. When I connected everything back on, the cooker started working again. So...

Thank you very much. I will try that tonight and share what happens next. Sorry to be a pain but can you please expand upon the line "Terminate cable ends in connection strips". That's the only bit that I didn't understand. Thanks.

Ok, so what you are saying is: -Disconnect the cooker from the existing power socket. -Check the existing power socket for any loose wirings. -On the cooker power socket, take off the external cover and put each of the wires in the connection strip. -Connect the connection strip to the...

Thanks. What do you mean by "place this terminal ends safely in a connection strip"?

Yes, it is an electric oven (the oven is not working when the power switch is turned off) and plus, there is an electric ignition for the gas hob. Thanks.
