We have just had new TV sockets put into new rooms in the house from our Digital Aerial. We had a booster box put in. We have just set up the TV in the new room and 'some' channels are scrambled and unwatcheable?? Last night ITV1 was scrambled? I retuned a full scan and it was fine...

Ah thank you, thought it maybe a transmitter thing? That link would be helpful :)

Hope this makes sense, but we have had a Sony DAV-S300 DVD and surround sound amp built in.. We use the speakers supplied (well two for standard stereo) in the room. This DVD was from 2000 and its dying slowly, DVD's not playing and it won't touch some CD's and CDR's which is annoying So...

We have been watching Freeview for a while no problems, about 3 days ago all the main channels went off? then came on again after a while... But channels now like ITV3 (010), Quest (038) are very scrambled jumpy and broken up?? We have never had this before. I did do a full Digital...

Thanks for your help on this as thought this might be the case hence my original post.. So it looks like I might need a Part P Electrics, Building Regs, and Fensa Certificates for Windows? I just dont want to get caught out at the late stage of selling and it happen like you explained and...

Exactly, hence my original post. No gas work as we use Calor gas bottles just for our oven top. We had all the electrics for the house rewired, installing a new septic tank to the soakaway (shared) Im not sure what PP PD BR?

Ok thanks, but I meant things like Electrics certificates on things done inside the house, more than land registry etc. Is there anything we need for works we've had carried out privately within our extensions?

I would like to ask with regards paperwork needed when selling a house? I hope this is the correct forum as we have just had two major extensions to our property (front and back) and would like to know the paperwork needed as they are coming to completion, with regards electrics (new box put...

I hope this is the correct forum.. We are looking at a new septic tank system to go under our driveway and we were looking at the Vortex sewage treatment plant, (that treats the water and waste) but realise that this has a lid and sticks out of the ground... I have also been told of the...

We are looking at getting a new septic tank system installed with a built in/combined sewage treatment plant. We have the space and regulations outside the property and see that the Vortex looks probably the best (and the cheapest?) for an all in one simple solution. I just thought I would...

all done thanks! huge spanner did it, and yes CLOCKWISE did it too!

I hope this is the right forum for this, but in the garde, we use propane LPG Gas canisters (orange) I have attached a picture and cannot remove the bolt from this empty canister to replace with another? I always thought these LPG tanks were counter-clockwise (looking at it straight on) so...

I have the Firebelly FB1 multi-fuel woodburner/stove However when having it cleaned, I managed to break the brittle top baffle plate made of Vermiculite, So i was just asking to see if I could use a metal equivalent baffle plate as its just a simple rectangular piece instead of...

We have a 6 yr old house and have realised after some work that the build quality wasn't the best, after damage to our roof. We have been told that this was never sealed properly, and could go via the NHBC, as they cover new builds for 10 years? Can anyone tell me how we go about this? The...

Thanks for your help. I'll definetly go down the quotes route, but had no idea it was so slow in the industry

Hello, I thought I'd ask on here on general rule of thumb per sq2 for a two storey extension from the back of our property in stone.. And also removal of a wooden staircase and relocation? Would this be a good forum for this or is there a better home improvement forum where this would be...

Good job I looked at the date! - its "use by : 22/3/12" !!! Thats 3 days time! Surely they can't be that accurate? Could I still do this within a month or so? Or are they that strict and it will turn into a solid brick lump if its not used and its stored in a dry shed? :|

Good point. Just been out to look at it and its all sealed, and i can press my thumb into the bag and it bends as if its all ok. I'll move it into the shed this afternoon so its covered whilst I remember It seems like its just been bought, and you can feel the powder through the bag -...

We had a few bags of Postcrete delivered late last summer as we are putting a wooden fence in at the back of our garden. It was delivered on a pallet, and is sealed but has been outside, and through the mild winter we've just had. Is this still ok to be used as its sealed? to put some...
