Hi, I want to change the washer on a dripping tap but when I removed the cap I was left with an almost ruined screw. It is impossible to fit a screwdriver into the groove. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi, yes I had thought of silicone but it takes a while to bond. They're suction cups which I guess will only bond under pressure? I'm tempted to try No Nails or something similar which is quick drying.

Hi Everyone, does anyone know what I can use to stick a suction cup to ceramic tiles? The missus bought a towel holder which proved to be a waste of money. Thanks!

I had a DPC around 8 yrs ago. I'm suspecting it's rising damp and maybe I'm leaving it too soon between applications? The house is over 100 yrs old and the stone walls are 18" thick.

Hi, I live in an old terraced house and recently spotted a rising water stain on an interior adjoining wall. I applied three coats of Screwfix No Nonsense Stain Sealer, allowing plenty of drying time inbetween applications, followed by two coats of Dulux emulson. A few days later the paint...

Hi, I have a Worcester 28i Junior combi which is serviced regular. When I switch it on and then flush the toilet or run a cold tap it gives off banging and clunking noises. I must point out that this only happens within ten minutes of starting the boiler up, after that the noises disappear. Any...
