My gas fitter repaired a leak on a radiator pipe. Then the boiler started making very deep bassy noises and starting giving an F2 error. I've asked him about the error and he said he doesn't know what it is maybe the wind. I restarted the boiler a few times and then the F2 error disappeared and...

I am installing this Mira Bath screen. https://www.plumbworld.co.uk/mira-elevate-hinge-side-panel-bath-screen-curve-5mm-glass-21814105-2926-1255051# The instructions from the manufacturer say: "Always fit the wall channel to the highest point on the bath side." Now my plumber said to me fit...

I replaced with hose washers 3/4” and there is no leak. Now the thickness of the hose washers is 2mm where the Grohe are 2.7mm. Would I have to add 2 on each feed or might be ok as is. I hand tight both of them and there is no no leak whatsoever. What shall I do?

I know broke the washer it is a 3/4” one where can I find a replacement. I looked at Screwfix but they don’t do them anymore.

I just installed this new Grohe bath tap and I seem to have a leak from the hot right on the side where the washer meets the tap raiser. The cold is fine, I have tightened it all the way but made no difference. I opened it up and I see the hot washer is marked only on one side. What am I...

I wanted a grey silicon and Selco did not do them so I bought a polymer instead that I thought it was the same thing. Now 3 days after been applied between kitchen worktop and wall metro tiles it seems still really soft and it comes off after with the scrub of a sponge! have I got the wrong...

My garage seemed to have gone so damp since I changed to a double glazed window. There is virtually droplets of water on the tin roof that makes anything inside the garage damp. How can I sort this out ? Make some holes and put a couple of air bricks or vents ? it makes the support timber...

I want to add a screen to a 1700mm bath. They usually come in 700 750 or 800mm widths. What width would you go for?

It is the side of the handles that I have already drilled the latch and painted the door! I can't put a block now but what I am thinking is to make a small 13-14mm hole face on the door near where the handles attach and fill it with wood filler and small wood pieces to avoid using screws and...

Oh Sugar! So I probably chiseled the wrong way!

Can you get any hollow doors with a wider wooden strip around the handle area so I don’t have to use nuts and bolds for securing the handles to the door ? I bought the doors from selco and the wood strips around the doors are too thin. The older hollow doors on the property have a wider wooden...

Sorry yes I am the landlord the last lady died I bought her property! Any idea of a rough cost for filling with concrete including labour?If it is up to £300 I might as well fill it in. What do you think?

I'm having beveled metro tiles in the kitchen and I am a bit concerned of the gaps the bevel create around electrical sockets. Can I use a spacer like the one attached and then having the socket raised up. So I grout around the spacer and then the sockets are firmly in place all around using...

I did had someone coming but they are all too busy and the tenant is moving in two weeks!

I don’t like the ridges on the flexible connectors as they accumulate dirt. I think of using a bent like in the photo, shall I go for a wide bent or a normal one as it is underneath the bath and don’t want to open it for cleaning.

My bath trap is too high in relation to where it needs to be connected, I’m stuck! Is there anything I can do other than going round the back and then forward with L-connectors ? Thanks

I just purchased a property and they seem to have added a piece of worktop at a later stage on a straight line. The problem is one piece is bull nose the next is square edge and there is no joint in between they sit loose on top of the floor cabinets. Is there an aluminium joint that will do...

I am having a 40mm sink waste pipe that can either go straight out of the wall and then drop outside, around 50cm from the floor, or drop it inside the house before bring it outside very close to the outside floor, then horizontal to the drain.... What would you recommend...

Sorry I did not make it clear but I do not wish to have the emergency lights outside permanently on as it will highlight to the burglar where the available entrances are and there are 4 around the building, as it is an old mill. There is not enough ambient light outside as the exits come out...
