It is looking much better, but the outer surround has a like a burnt pan seasoning on it which is hard to remove. Any ideas?

Have lifted a floor board. Cables seem to go through a joist so not sure how light switch connects. Do I need to try and access from the other side of the wall? Do I try and do this at wall level or floor level?

No one will know!

Ok, little mistake. They are on the ground light circuit. Room is on the first floor. Pictures of cables attached. Assume I need to raise floorboards to see how they connect? Let me know if this is the next step and I will do. Thanks for help so far.

When I turn off the breaker for the power sockets, it cuts power to the lights. Can’t see a fused spur anywhere.

I wish to remove these lights and switches. initially, I thought I could remove cabling between lights and switches and blank the switches. But can I remove more cable so I can removes the switches too? There are on a power circuit so I expect they are wired to the socket on the left.

Where could I get a stainless steel washer like this

Damn. I thought I drilled it quite snug. Could it be anything else? Any other possible fixes?

I renovated a bathroom with no experience. Everything went fine except when I installed the tap it was wonky. I cant understand how this happened. New worktop (laminate), everything was level. What is the problem / resolution?

I am tempted, but I like that the blue matches the hearve tiles. It is for a bedroom rather than a feature room so perhaps a little less important! Thanks for your time and response.

Thank you so much. I am always amazed at peoples generousity with there time. I now have a plan and am confident I will not damage anything!

Thank you. Am going to try to take it back to black iron. The more authentic the better IMO. How do I polish up the hood? Just rotary wire brush? Is the frame the one immediately around the fire box, or the white painted part outside the angled tiles. What is a good strong detergent?

Just bought a house with this lovely fireplace in need of a bit of TLC. I do not really know what I am doing so would appriciate help: Repair broken concrete in base. Can I just mix cement and water and pour to repair the broken concrete in the base of the fireplace? Right fire brick is...

Yeah, next step is to call the installer. I suspect it is not an issue with the boiler but another part of the system (which is old) so happy to be reasonable to find the correct fix. Water colour when bleeding radiators varies from clean to a little dirty. Not black. Some radiators seem to...

New boiler within the last year. I think an additive was added to the system and he fitted a sludge filter below the boiler. Boiler is on ground floor. Y valve on 1st floor. How water coming out both sides of the valve.

No, would like in the future. Thinking downstairs would all be underfloor and controlled separately. 1st & 2nd could be zones or just use TRVs?

Do not like the sound of any of them. Balancing - unlikely as they have been hot before Sludge - possible. I guess I should power flush? TRVs - nope, they are old valves Failing pump - nope, we have one in the system boiler and another on the system Airlock - perhaps. Do I just bleed the valves...

Hello, At the moment we only seem to have 2 hot radiators, 1 luke warm radiator and 6 cold radiators on our ground floor. What is the problem? Radiator on 1st and 2nd floor seem ok. Boiler is new, radiators are old. Thanks, Matthew

Can it be replaced so it is not visible? What are my options here. My house has a vent stack not too far away.
