I'm building a lean to shed and planning on installing an edpm roof. The roof leans onto a pebbledash wall and I've been a bit concerned that the contact adhesive won't be strong enough for the upstand on that surface, so rather than chase out all the pebbledash another option I was thinking of...

I'm planning on building a lean to shed over our side return path, which has block paving that extends to the rear patio. At some point in the future I'll need to get a mini digger through it for some garden landscaping, so I'm thinking that rather than building a raised timber base it would be...

My Worcester cdi 30 conventional boiler makes this very loud noise frequently, sometimes vibrates the house: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1De7RBrHgAUM25bksHJhIfP0Ue_y9s_5a/view Not sure what's causing it but I've been able to make it happen by having both heating and hot water on at the...

I moved into a 1930's house in April and was curious about a rectangle shape showing in the dining room ceiling. I noticed on the original plans that there used to be a chimney breast there so I pulled up the carpet in the bedroom and found a large concrete hearth base. I pulled up some nearby...

I need to connect a 1.5" dual flush valve outlet to a 40mm water pipe leading to the toilet bowl, but can't see how to do that. I'm replacing an old valve that has a 2" outlet which this new one says it's compatible with, but that just seems to refer to the alternative washer it has that fits...

Since i moved into my flat the main bedroom radiator has had trouble heating up fully (i tried bleeding, balancing, cleaning, etc). In March this year i got a plumber to do a power flush which helped the problem and it now heats up fine, though it was just in time for warmer weather so didn't...

I live in a basement flat and we've recently started getting a damp patch appearing on a wall at the front bay window, which gets worse when it rains. The rain doesn't actually hit the exterior wall since it's covered by the above flat's window sill, but there's a damp patch in the same place on...

Hi, I'm 90% certain it is but was hoping someone could confirm that this is a bayonet gas fitting (connects to the gas hobs), and is the type that I can safely remove myself? To disconnect I just turn the connection at the grip and pull out? (i'm replacing the cooker) Thanks David.

Hi all, The water pipe going into my dishwasher has a round stopcock / valve on it that is leaking - see attached picture. It looks like the leak is coming from inside the round knob and not from the pipe itself. If this was a metal fixing i'd probably just need to tighten a nut but I'm not...

My neighbour has decided to build a large building in his back garden without any planning permission or discussion with me. It covers about 50% of his garden, is right up against the boundaries, is approaching 4m high (and still getting taller), and has windows facing back towards the house...

Hi, I have a water heater (PulsaCoil 2000) that is connected to the off peak power supply, so that the water is only heated when there is off peak electricity coming through. Over the weekend I turned off all power in the flat at the main switch, and unwired the smoke alarms - replacing...
