The 'housing' of one of the spotlights on ceiling cannot be twisted to remove so that I can take out and replace bulb. It seems like its stuck from a previous painting job. Any ideas what I can do to loosen it please? Pic attached, but its not too helpful as I can't really get it to show that...

Thanks again Rob. You were right...the shroud on B did come off! When we got it off, and put some TPFE tape inside...this cured it for now and have ordered the replacement parts based on the link you sent!. I had no idea what type of sink it was! Appreciate your help hugely! Thank you...

Thanks Rob, I put a trap washer inside B, as per B and Q's suggestion. But that hasn't stopped it. Should I have asked for an Oring instead. Should I aso put some TPFE tape inside? Cheers

Thanks Madrab. Ive done another image showing the part that can come out from b. Nothing else unscrews (so the section sticking out in blue is all connected and there is no rubber seals inside.) Following advice from an assistant at B and q, I did put a trap washer inside this part b and the...

Thanks a lot for the replies. Just returned home and the leak still there.going to try the PTFE tape suggestion tomorrow and buy some from B &Q (then if doesnt work maybe get a new piece). Can I just check that the part that Bosswhite thinks is under strain is section a? and that I should try...

The images shows it far better than I'm able to explain in, but basically there is a leak coming from where the connection between the pipe and the 'collar' is. When I took the collar off...there's no washer or o-ring (not sure what difference is). Should there be? I've lived here for 5 years...

Dumb question alert! I bought a set of 35w outside lights, expecting them to either come with the mains plug so i can easily plug them into a mains point that I have on my terrace, or at least have cables with them so that I can get an electrician to connect them to some other existing...

cheers again. I tried poking around but don't even know what the keyhole slot is and can't see any screws...only thing similar is the 2 large ones on the front (like on new image). Is it these? I don't have anything that can turn these. Thank you

thanks...of course...ive added an image as requested. can you see it? anything else..happy to do..just want to avoid having to replace fridge or get an expensive repair bill. Thank you.

Thanks...the fridge has been in same place for 3 years with no probs..and it seems straight. I've enclosed a picture of hinges, and how it looks right now. Cheers!

My Lamona fridge door is not closing. It seem like the door may have dropped little...nothing drastic as I can't see inside or anything but enough for it not to be closing. I tried changing the gasket/seal but this made no difference. I also took off the front decorative door to see if this was...

On one window, the one in pics, I will first try replacing the putty. Then I have 2 other windows in other rooms that will probably need the glass replacing soon too, so my thinking was if there's a local person interested, then they could come and quote on the whole thing. I have no experience...

I have a small outside terrace with an existing double power point connected and working fine. I want to replace this with a remote control version (in picture), to allow me to control some new garden lights from inside the home. I didnt fit the existing outdoor socket myself, but the new one...

Thanks for the replies. If there any glaziers in the chiswick area (W4) of West London that would like to give ma a quote on replacing the glass on this window and possibly 2 additional windows, then just let me know.

Thank you both. If its a question of re-puttying the window, and im not good at DIY, is it better I ask a glazier to do it or a general DIY skilled person? Cheers.

Over last few weeks, the 'putty' on my bedroom window has started coming away and more 'mold' appearing. The room is extremely draughty now too (probably not new..more likely realised more when cold weather has hit). Do you think the windows are in the sort of condition that I could ask a...

Thanks Dave..yes it is a Suprima. I think I will get other quotes, but I've bad experiences of the last 2 I used (one charging me £150 for an aqqualis shower cartridge which I later found he bought for about £90, then another £100 to fit it...my own stupid fault in hindsight...but thats what put...

Recently, shower water started going cold quickly....I looked at the lights on my Potterton boiler, and saw that they were flashing red every second. I'd not seen this in the 5 yrs I've lived here, but found that just resetgin it meant I got hot water back quite soon after. Obviously, I cant...
