I've got a bit of a problem with a toilet cistern. Decided to change the syphon as the flush wasn't great (needed several pulls on the lever). Of course, the bolts that tie the cistern to the pan were rusted and needed WD40 to loosen them - fair enough. I got the wing nuts part way loosened, and...

I've installed a cooker chimney extractor thingy on an internal wall (no other place to put it) with the intention of venting it through the soffit. The kitchen is in an extension with a pitched tile roof on top. However, I'm not sure I want to cut through my UPVC soffit, and I'm also struggling...

Has anyone used this stuff? Is it any good? Better than regular gloss paint for painting rads with? Or is there a better alternative? Thanks.

Ok, having fitted my chimney hood I've ended up with a small gap where the vertical channel and the ceiling are supposed to meet flush - the gap is around 3 to 4 mm all the way around, not massive but enough to make it look untidy and you can just see the ducting pipe as it enters the ceiling...

Our front door is a dark wood uPVC, with glass panes top and bottom. At the bottom outside of the door a lump has appeared on either side. Also the moulding around the glass panels has cracked. The door is south facing, I'm wondering if the damage is caused by heat expansion? We're looking to...

I'm probably going to tile my kitchen floor (not decided yet, but probably will). There's a concrete floor under the existing lino, but it feels as though there's a bit of unevenness in the floor level - not a lot, but a bit of a trough. Question is, how unlevel should it be before I need to put...

Morning all, First post.... My bathroom is fully tiled. I've noticed that the grout is cracked between the row of tiles that the bath silicon sealer is attached to and the row above. Obviously this only happens when someone is in the bath/shower, at rest it's all fine. Now, I've...
