What would be best to fill the gaps around these recessed rectangular lights in our garden wall? Would Toupret Touprelith F Exterior Masonry Repair Filler work ok? Is there anything easy I can add to get the texture of the existing render?

Great thanks a lot.

OK thanks. Any brand of filler recommended? I have seen Toupret mentioned on some other posts? https://www.toupret.co.uk/business-customers/products/interior-surfaces/interior-filler-TTREB7051GB.html

We've just had our bathroom redone and where we removed the old tiles some of the plastered ceiling came off and also where some new lights were put in. Also have have a 15mm gap where the curved ceiling meets some trim as we didn't want to put a thin piece of tile here. Just wondering what is...

I don't have drawings, I do have the certificate from BC. The bathroom in question is part of the original house and was not renovated by the previous owner when they extended the house. Yes Section H 1.33 states that an open vent is not always required so I am not sure.

Hi, Moved into a new house a few months and currently going to have the main bathroom upstairs renovated. We've ripped the old one out and have realised that there is no open soil vent anywhere on the property, there is only a 50mm AAV on the soil stack in the main bathroom which is also shared...

Hi, I have 2 stains on the wall at the top and bottom inside a bedroom wardrobe and I was wondering what I stain block I should use to cover it. I did put some Thompsons Stain Block Damp Seal on it years ago but it came back after a couple of years. I was thinking a Zinsser product but not...

Thanks. Surely a shower should last more than 2-3 years though? Yes the brushes are 25mm when new but I was trying to find out at what length they should be replaced. Thanks. I've ordered some brushes just waiting for them to arrive.

Hi, My Mira Event power shower pump has been playing up and I am wondering if the brushes need replacing. There is still some of the brush touching the motor but there is probably only a few mm left on it as you cannot see any of it from the other end in the photo. At what point do you know...

Thanks for your replies, appreciate your help.

Thanks, I've posted a question to the shower doc.

Hi, My Mira Event XS power shower is intermittently not pumping water. Water is flowing through still but it is just not being pumped. I have uploaded 2 videos (need to turn sound up a bit). First one with the cover on the pump was still working but is really struggling and the noise off it...

Hi, Our dishwasher (Indesit DI450 UKC) stopped washing dishes properly and there was a slight burning smell during a wash and after looking inside we could see the heater element was covered in blackened / burnt limescale so we suspected this was the issue. I was planning to replace the heater...

Hi, I have a Worcester Greenstart Ri bolier and we noticed water is dripping from underneath. On further inspection I can see there is crack in the bend of the condensate pipe. Really annoying as we only had it serviced a few weeks ago!? I include some photos below. I have no experience in...

Thanks Andy will give it a try!!

Hi there, I have a Macdee concealed toilet cistern that often has issues due to limescale build up as the water in our area is very hard. First the flush syphon got stuck in the up position due to limescale build up and so it no longer flushed and then not long after the entry fill valve also...
