    New fridge/freezer compressor rattling

    If, however, a fault is detected after the first 6 months, the burden of proof switches from the trader to the consumer. The consumer must prove that the product was faulty at the time of purchase. (see page 12 - Consumer Rights Act 2015). That said, many products will be sold with a 12 month...

    How Good are New Toilets?

    I have used those types before. V odd. I often spend ages on the bog in the morning making sure that I am completely empty given that I work in people's homes. With the German/Dutch loos, I would need about 5 flushes just to keep the smell down. Ultimately, with a UK loo, I can just look down...

    Dead Dewalt Battery Revivial

    But they don't risk thermal runaway... You probably know more about this than me, but I recall NiCads having a cut out point after which, for safety reasons, they would not accept a charge.

    Please identify the screwdriver type for this screw?

    For what it is worth. I often find that JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) fittings work better than PH or PZ when dealing with fittings from the "far east". The (Japanese) Vessel screwdriver fittings are the best I have come across. Not cheap though.

    Please identify the screwdriver type for this screw?

    The photo doesn't help. I may be a PH1 or PZ1. It might even be a PH0 or PZ0. 3mm screws are normally PH1 or PZ1. The screw is normally identified by the shank rather than the head size. In your case it might be a PH0 or PZ0.

    How Good are New Toilets?

    As an aside... Not related to flush rates, but why are some loos designed such that they leave skid marks at the back?

    New fridge/freezer compressor rattling

    Record the noise and contact the tech help desk. A few years ago we purchased a heat pump tumble drier. It was really noisy. I download a decibel meter for my phone and sent them the readings. They swapped it out. By contacting them, you have told them about a potential fault at the point of...

    Plumbing wrench ?

    Why do the flexi tails need to be fitted first? Don't they have o-rings? If yes, can't you tighten them by hand after the event? BTW, as you know, I am not a plumber. Best of luck.

    Dead Dewalt Battery Revivial

    From where was the pressure being released? The end of the cell? I am not sure that I would be confident enough to use a battery with a swollen cell. Did the video explain why it had swollen?

    Odd stripes

    As @Wayners said. We are both decorators.

    Composite door

    Initially, I thought they might be drainage holes, but they seem to have been filled.

    Regrouting and re-siliconing shower enclosure - how long to do properly?

    https://www.tilersforums.com/threads/grout-silicon-drying-times.20575/ I would never tried to grout and silicone on the same day. It might be the case that the guy only intends to remove a couple of mm of grout though, in which case, it might be ok to do both in one day. Ideally, as much grout...

    Regrouting and re-siliconing shower enclosure - how long to do properly?

    Removing the grout and silicone is the best part of a day. You can't grout and silicone in one day.

    Dremel for kids?

    I get what you are saying, but of the saw types, bandsaws are one of the safer saw types.

    Another Damp/Mould question

    I have worked in many properties with no bathroom windows. I fitted a humidistat fan at home because I knew that people would not turn on the light if showering at 9am during the summer. I also knew they wouldn't open the window at 6am in the winter. The humidistat chugged away for as long as...

    Can anyone tell me what these marks on vinyl floor are, please?

    Point taken. That is part of the reason that I did not recommend cellulose thinners. None of the solvents I recommended should be an issue with LVT.

    Another Damp/Mould question

    In the evening, you are exhaling moist air as you sleep and the outdoor temperatures are lower. You could aim a fan at the damp areas. Air bounces around corners, forcing air at them might help as a short term fix.
