The Wall-e generation is coming, if not here already. Give it time. The media and marketing will see this as 'normal', if not already. :(

Normally a long length of chrome-edged gripper rod is used.

Although I can’t say for certain it’s limescale (because I can’t see inside) You could use an endoscope. £30 from Toolstation. I have this one and find it pretty good. Better than others I've tried in the past. https://www.toolstation.com/draper-endoscope/pAA096

Have you tried taking the drawer out and checking the runners etc? Are you sure that nothing is catching either inside of the drawer or from underneath?

Take a pic of your tap; do a google image search for it, or one similar; search for a spec / diagram pic of what it looks like inside and go from there to determine where the failure could be. I wouldn't go buying things willy-nilly. It may be that the plug-hole is simply blocked with hair and...

If not already asked (I've not read 80 pages of comments), why are you still posting on a DIY forum when you're supposed to be on holiday?? Ever heard of 'being present'?

Totally agree with this. Don't get swept up in what she 'thinks' she needs. Especially if she thinks that Daddy's going to pay for it. Also, there are gaming pcs and there are pcs that you can play games on. Which does she in fact 'need'? To the OP, have you actually been into Currys / PC World...

What age is your daughter? Has an influence on the types of games that she is / likely to be playing. Ask her to ask her friends what they have and if they're happy with it. I'm talking spec, not make or colour etc.

Worst case scenario cut out the plasterboard and pack our with ply or timber and fix to that Or, through that into the bricks behind

This sounds plausible to me. Those that I have used only have the one fan but it would make sense what you're suggesting, with two.

Has it simply come unscrewed or similar? I'd be surprised if something had actually 'broken'. There's no force or pressure applied to these normally.

You'll usually find that there is three power settings for the fan. Do they all work and do you have it on the strongest setting? Is there a difference between each of the three settings in noise, suction and air-out at the outside? Depending upon the above, you may find that it is either the...

Thanks for commenting. So, you think that the main walls pics are simply red sand and grey cement? I was beginning to think so myself too. The fourth pic, the one with the pillar corner showing, this is the garden wall. Do you think that this could be yellow sand? It doesn't appear to have the...

I live in a 1980s Bovis home constructed of Cotswold stone bricks. I am trying to rebuild a garden wall, built of the same bricks, but am unclear as how to get the right / same mortar colour. It appears that the wall mortar is a more yellow and matches the bricks well yet the house has a slight...

Looking good. At least you've pulled the carpet back and screwed direct to the floor. I came to do some work in our house and found that the previous owners (amongst various other bodges) had fitted the sole-plate on top of the carpet!

Not necessarily. See attached quote from Toolstation.com site

Try chatgpt. Just done so myself (or rather my wife has) and come up with lots of suggestions. Waste pipes, condensate pipe, gas leak, even building materials.

@Wayners do you have experience of using the product? Thank you very much for your tips re applications and drying etc. I've just re-visited the property and had a prod at the product. It's been some 5 days since I applied it originally and 3 days since I scraped the excess / non-stuck stuff...
