Thanks. Okay. Sounds like I just need to unscrew it from the tap assembly. On closer inspection the connection is not totally circular around the top, so a spanner or pliers should do the job. The existing hose is 1.5m however unsure of the diameter (maybe 16mm). I take it the larger...

(Apologies in advance for the most beginner of questions.) Our shower hose has split. I am assuming the hose needs replacement (as I doubt it is worth repairing) however having trouble removing the old hose. The hose goes from the bath tap mixer to the shower head. The connection on the...

Hi, We are planning a house party and are concerned about keeping guests warm. There will be limited place inside and therefore cannot accommodate everyone squeezing inside. If the temp drops I assume people will leave (or stay and complain). We have an outdoor covered patio area (approx...

Finally managed to solve it! Still unsure what was keeping it stuck but the following seemed to help: - Pushing the fitting ring firmly in each direction trying to dislodge any dirt or dust. - Using a damp cloth to wipe around the seal. - Pushing the lamp slightly in, then grabbing the...

Thanks for the comments. I am having trouble 'breaking' the seal. The problem is I cannot turn the trim/seal in any direction. From memory it is not a push and turn. I believe I simply need to turn the trim and the lamp will come down. The lamp itself is moving upward and downward, so...

After a decent run, one of the living room downlight bulbs has died. I have tried to remove the bulb however cannot turn the fitting guard to gain access to the bulb. The light is stuck. I have read various things about the heat from the light damaging the seal, hence making removal...

Looking for some decorative advice... We have a window with a recess - approximately h 203 x w 135 x d 18 cms. There is currently a roll down blind. However whenever the window is open we cannot keep the blind closed. The draft causes the blind to rattle. We are considering putting up a...

Okay. Managed to open the front and find some coins stuck in the filter. Reattached everything and now the washing machine displays an error message "STOP". Any ideas? We don't have the manual....

Thanks again for the replies. I have tried a replacement lamp. Not working? Now not sure if it is not inserted properly or transformer issue. How can I tell?

Issues continue. Now the washing machine seems to be playing up. We have a Bosch Front Loading Washing Machine (WVT 12840 GB/04) - 5kg, 1400 rpm. It has suddenly started making a strange whurring noise towards the end of the washing cycle. Sound is similar to a small engine aircraft. So...

Thanks for the response. They are definitely the correct lamps. I know this because I have taken an older lamp and tried to insert it into the old socket and other two exact same sockets. My challenge is lining up the lamp with the socket within the narrow lighting housing. When the lamp...

We have moved into a new property and most of the bulbs need replacing. There is a mixture of different down and fluorescent lights. Each seems to have a different housing or fixture type. Why? Anyway! I am struggling with replacing the PLT 4 pin light bulbs (plt 18w 4000k 4-pin)...

Hi, We moved into a new property that underwent some water damage a while ago. How can we ensure that all damages bits are removed to avoid later issues? Water had leaked from bathroom to neighboring bedroom. Site has had months to dry. Concrete floor and brick wall. We have removed molded...

Hi All, Unsure if this is the most appropriate forum section, but here goes... New property had some water damage several months/years ago. It appears a leak from a broken pipe and/or broken seal underneath the bath caused some havoc. From what I can see the pipes have been repaired...
