Hi guys, Just back from looking at a house I’m interested in buying, but the garage wall had a very precarious large gaps running diagonally down it. It looks based on the mortar that it might have been covered up before but reopened again! What generally causes this? I thought foundational...

Hi all, Basically I’m redoing my landing, and it’s never had any kind of landing edging before where the floor ends and stairs drop in front of it (ie where a balustrade would stop you falling down). Obviously want to change it and have the edge finished properly. Googling around and all I...

Hi all, So for a few months I've been putting up with my hot water no longer being hot- just barely luke warm as frankly I'm not in a position to replace it and it's been working fine up until the NTC sensors were replaced. Now until today theres been nothing obvious about whats happening, say...

Hi all, Took over a property about a year ago with an old Vaillant VCW GB 242, always had a theory the central heating wasn't playing ball. Long story short, last week we replaced the old thermostat and separate time clock which we confirmed isn't working (turning down would have no effect...

Hi all, Been having a few issues with my Ecomax recently, mainly down to my ignorance on servicing. Anyway the boiler has now been serviced (professionally), and was working fine until recently where it gave up the ghost and displayed F.0 (which I've never had before (previously I was dealing...

Hi all, hope you're doing well. Im thinking of updating/ modernising one of our upstairs bedrooms and turning it into a media room. Now the house was converted about 25 years ago from a bungalow and one thing thats always annoyed me is the way the plasterboard has been put up and I want it...

Hi all, We recently spent 3.5k getting our single pipe gravity fed system "converted" to a twin pipe pressured system with combi boiler. 90% of the piping downstairs was replaced, but for some reason they didnt touch the upstaires piping... but they all work fine upstairs so this isnt the...
