We moved into a new property in the middle of last year and it is a semi detached terraced property. The gardens are attached with our neighbours on both sides. On the detached side, now we've hit spring and early summer, their garden has become wildly overgrown. It seem to be full of overgrown...

We have a bathroom in the basement of a new house and we are looking to remove the sink and place the washing machine there. Is this a fairly easy and straightforward job? Anything to consider? The sink already has hot and cold water inlet and a waste pipe that I am presuming I can...

I am OK with DIY stuff, but I have no idea about plumbing. We've just bought a property and it has a small kitchen sink and washing area in the basement. We've just refurbished the area and bought a new tap. After installing the new flexi tap tails directly onto the old isolation valves for the...

We have a small, limited space for a small kitchen space in our basement level of the house. It is not the main kitchen, more of a sink/drinks station. One side needs a shallow unit, and the other a full sized unit. As a result we purchased 2 Metod base cabinets from IKEA. One is a 60mm wide...

Just bought a new house, and after stripping out an old secondary sink and kitchen units that were in the basement and then stripping up the floor, there is this round grey plug. There is a similar one that the kitchen and washing machine waste pipe runs into, so I'm assuming it's something like...

I have just purchased a new house and at the rear of the property there is one of those typical outside floodlights with PIR sensor. It doesn't appear to be working and as I have a Blink camera with a floodlight mount, this light already on the property is not needed. The grey cable comes out...

I have just purchased a new home and just moved in. It has an ADE Optima Compact box in the hallway with a small square electrical fuse box above it. There are sensors in the corners of various rooms, a couple of door sensors, as well as a red siren box on the front and rear of the house I...

Hi, Looked around here for answers but had to join and post in the hope of solving my issues! I have a Forreli Optima combi boiler in my rented flat. It has the filling loop placed just below it. (Just cos I know terms, I know nothing about boilers - only just read up a few things!)...
