Hello I’ve had my house cat6 wired for cameras. My friend who fits cameras etc reckons the darkfighters would be sufficient. I’ve differing areas and depths to cover so will these do that or should I speed up different kind of hik cameras accordingly? Presumably there’s a tool out there that...

Hello I recently bought a property that had a number of roof issues. Only minor. They were: the gable end tiles coming loose over time so not straight. I think this was due to the tiles not having hooks in where the original roofer failed to line up tiles or the way in which they started. There...

Hi I’ve contacted a builder in to fit a 3x4m deck area for my hot tub. He’s making progress but he said he ran out of brackets for one of the panels (the one next to the render) so stuck it down. Tonight I stood on it with a bit of pressure and it seems to be moving. Presumably it can be pulled...

Hi I’ve ordered a new similar handle to replace a broken handle and unfortunately the thickness of the new is wider. See below the universal chrome handle the replacement one and the original. The original is 17-18mm thick. Anyone know where I can source? Cheers...

Hi I’ve just had some 100mm concrete base laid for a hot tub (decking to go on top next week) and see there’s a few cracks showing. Not sure if top only, or all the way through. It was a hot day Friday c22-25deg and there wasn’t any cracks showing late last night. I see he used a membrane...

Hello I’m having a concrete base and decking installed next to some existing krend on a wall. Just wondered if it should be covered up somehow? Cheers https://share.icloud.com/photos/022SZWJZVd4e-bFIAYFNBagww https://share.icloud.com/photos/0780iwqOPcHvq3vLI1m8BmgcQ

Hi I have around 4x Aube thermostats (formerly thermonet 132-f), of which two are faulty, we think. One fails to click when the temp goes up, and the other goes faint, then loses power. I've found something of similar size, see here...

Hello The toilet I have isn’t flushing correctly. Sometimes works, more often doesn’t. It requires a hard pull or multiple pulls for it to work. I’ve taken a photo as in not sure what bit is faulty. I assume the freeflo unit rather than the water filling bit (that’s the bit I’ve replaced in my...

Hello I’ve bought a new house and I think there’s a number of rooms with electric under floor heating using thermonet th232 thermostats. I’ve noticed that the date and time goes wrong street a period of time. I’m wondering if they are losing power or they require batteries...

Hello Can anyone shed some light on the type of washing line pole this is? Thanks

Hi I’ve just bought a new property that is c100 years old. I’ve had all the relevant surveys carried out, which to my mind isn’t really that great. They pointed out a few things but they also missed some. But that’s another story. Roll back a few months and after a few viewings I noted a drain...

Looking for some advice as to what is best to tackle this? Battery, petrol, the wheels ones? Cheers

I’m having issues with my tap shutting off (think I need a new cartridge?) and also the value to the tap. Any ideas? Thanks

Hello We have one of the above, a 3kw infrared heater that was quite expensive and I plan to take it away as we are moving house. I see there are some cheaper ones out there c£100 that are of similar power. Presumably the wiring is the same? Mine is fused to the fuse box and spur next to the...

Hi I have a slowly dying vortice 10206 timer version (kr t) that I thought was the standard non timer version 10205 which I ordered and tried fitting today. before returning and ordering the same one. Is there a way to getting the standard one to work in place of the timer? The timer one I have...

Hello Just had my survey completed today and here’s reported a couple of blocked gutters but more importantly there a few down pipes that do not have any soakaways. Water draining onto the ground and in some cases running downhill into the property. This is the major concern. Questions are...
