I have a creda 37549 tumble dryer that I have had for many many years. This is now squeaking badly so I need to replace the bearings. The problem I have is taking it to bits to get at them. There is no problem in getting the top off. However the sides and back are pop riveted together...

I have a shower base unit bought from Wickes in early 2012 along with the matching waste outlet. I now find that the waste outlet is loose. Trying to tighten it up from above causes it to behave as if it is jumping the thread (ie it starts to tighten but then goes loose again), but there is no...

I've now been advised that because of the size of the flat roof needing replacement, building control will require that the roof have additional insulation to meet part L. What do you think would the likely cost be of incorporating a decent insulation layer over an area of 40 sq mtrs? I've...

I need to get a flat roof recovered as it has come to the end of its life; well actually part just needs recovering and part needs both reboarding and recovering. Now I'm not physically able to do this myself, so need to get a firm in. One firm has quoted for 3 layers of felt, while the other...

I'm now just about to fit my new shower tray (acrylic covered stone) and I understand that it should be bedded on a weak mortar mix. However my neighbour has suggested I should use a self levelling compound instead. Is this a good idea? Has anyone tried this - and did it go OK?

Sorry if this is considered inappropriate, but I asked this question in the flooring forum but noone has come up with any ideas, so I hope you may be able to help more. The problem is how to dry wet floorboards which extend under other flooring. In more detail, I have a shower room, in...

OK, first - I'm not sure if this is the the right forum, if it isn't then apologies and let me know where to go. I have a shower room, in which vinyl flooring has been laid on 6mm plywood (I think - this predates our getting the house) on top of the floorboards. This vinyl and ply goes...

A bit of a silly question. I needed to change a grab rail in a shower because it was rusting. Unfortunately two of the screw heads snapped off from the screws (also rusted) when I tried to remove them. So I now have two small bits of screws protruding from the tiles, with not enough...

I had a boiler changed a few months ago and it is intermittently showing an error condition. The new boiler is a vokera mynute 20VHE and it replaced a potterton netaheat 16/22 in the existing system (a Honeywell Y) and nothing else was changed. It all seems to work fine BUT occasionally the...
