We bought a mixer tap a few years ago and the plastic on the handles has started to crack/fall away. I'm hoping to replace these but am not sure how to remove them. There is no square/hex shaped point to unscrew them so not sure how to set about it. Is it obvious? Hopefully they aren't too far...

Our house has a few roof sections and in their infinite wisdom, over the years, various builders have gone for slightly different sizes. Our lovely neighbours have used an air-rifle to shoot holes in some of them and so we need to get a small number to replace them. They're not standard sizes...

We've a range cooker controlled by a Honeywell 1-channel 7 day timer (the 1-channel version of ST9400C) and we'd like to add the ability to override the program remotely to turn it on early/late as it takes ages to heat up. I can see lots of questions/answers pointing to thermostatic controllers...

I've a wood-fired boiler in my garage and have the flow and return going underground (about 10m + 2m in vertical) to the house. I put the pipe in on the cheap and used 32mm alkathene pipe lagged with Armaflex and surrounded in sand about a foot down. I'm guessing that this is losing a lot of...

We've a multi-zone heating system based on the Honeywell CM67z controllers bound to the HC60NG. Just turned it on for the first time this heating season. After about 1 minute, the HC60NG green led comes on and stays on (24 hours so far). The 2-port valve open, pump comes on etc. All 4 of the...

We've got a Screwfix cheap and cheerful extractor with timer mounted in the ceiling next to our shower. It has an added simple non-return flap inline to reduce the back-draft and then a flex-pipe to an opening in the roof. When it is very cold outside (like now, at -6DegC), water drips from...

Hi - we got our local builder to install a upvc window to replace an old wooden one and at the same time, we had the thick (50cm), solid stone walls dry-lined with 62mm board. At the time I mentioned to the builder that it seemed to me that the window reveals might get cold and form condensation...

I live in a house, a group of 3, all of which have an individual, 25mm MDPE pipe tracking across a 300m field to individual water meters. Each of us has a fairly dismal water pressure although the pressue at the water meter is apparently 3bar. My neighbour told me that over Christmas, at one...
